I have an interview with Guy from Spondoolies going live tomorrow. No matter what the others do SP-Tech is not stopping. Pretty cool actually to see so many companies doing well and working hard for improvements.
Guy impressed me a lot when I met him in person.

Does ST have plans for a competing product launch at about the same timeframe?
I can bet you it won't be a 16nm. the article has typo some times it reads 16nm other times it reads 14nm they have been bragging about the new chip since sept. 2014.
I also think based on everything I have seen the 14/16nm chip will not go from .7w to .07w .
I think they are bs ing a whole lot saying they can do a 10x improvement . they will be lucky to get to .5w or .4w . but what do I know.
Now if they build a solid .4 watt miner and no one else has one doing better then .6w they will have a decent edge over everyone until others make good a good .4w miner.
