I meant on the performance side. If they can't get more than 20% increased performance between 28nm planar and 16nm FinFET then there are problems. But some of the other claims had much greater increases in performance, so I guess we must wait until actual reviews come out. My comment is wrt to the fact that people stopped regularly upgrading CPUs when the performance increase between generations slowed to 10% and its starting to look like GPUs are headed for the same problem. Tis true that most CPUs now use much less power than 5 years ago as well, but that is not so much of a selling issue unless its for mobile.
