The author didn't say that "performance didn't matter" as a starting assumption. He said it as a tentative conclusion, that specifically a small improvement in processor performance was not the most important factor in the user experience, or in adoption by tablet makers.

This is very clear in the consumer acceptance and sales figures of Apple iPad compared to the competition at the time, which was net books, with much more powerful processors. But netbooks ere hobbled by Windows. By slow boot times. By slow wake up. By slow hibernate. etc.... So the more capable processor was put into crappy context.

Intel is going to produce 14nm parts at the end of this year. There is no way TSMC and or Global Foundries will have 14nm parts then.
These 2 companies won't have 22nm parts.
These analysts confuse planer process with Finn process.

where strangely, he predicts that TSMC and Global Foundries will beat Intel to 14nm while having a more efficient process.



Some people are just f***ing clueless.
