Again your link points out the reason.
Intel does not have the bottomless pockets you believe they have. They have to pick and choose their targets far more wisely than they have been doing up till now.
AMD won't have any high performance chips at 20nm though. I'm not actually sure what it was they taped out last quarter, been scratching my head over that one.
I think the foundries do production differently from Intel. Intel won't start high volume until yield reaches a certain high-point but the foundries continue to ramp it over a number of fabs over time. I believe TSMC has already started on 20 SoC in two fabs with another couple coming soon.
It's only been one node, and FinFET's may have been a one-time hit at 22nm. There's a whole bunch of other reasons why Broadwell might not clock so well though.
Altera to switch 14nm chip orders back to TSMC.

Oh, and 450mm has been pushed out another 5 years - https://www.semiwiki.com/forum/content/3241-intel-450mm-delayed-until-2023.html
Based on that you can expect around 30 fps on "performance" setting so it's probably reasonably playable on low settings. There are likely to be better and cheaper options though.
It's the obvious choice because it's heavily subsidized yes - just like the original 7" with Tegra 3. The current Nexus 7 has sold poorly because non-Apple tablets long since became commodity items.
I believe there is a good chance of the Z3740 in the Nexus 8 but it'll have to be cheap as dirt...
Again - it's only "contrived" because certain API's can't handle the effect.
On high-end hardware and Mantle, the effect is noticeable and a clear upgrade on existing blur effects. Crossfire 290X's will have few problems with it for example - neither will next gen single cards.
What you...
In the end it's about quality and performance. There is a clear quality gain for a large performance hit. If there is performance to spare then isn't it worth it?
For me it's exactly the same as TressFX, and like TressFX 2.0 which has improved in both IQ and performance, StarSwarm's motion...
