Samsung and IBM was planning on 14nm processor last year now we don't know anything about it.

I doubt that it will be available in any commercial product before late 2014.
Oh and by the way, Intel is already using the "3D" technology in Ivy Bridge.

Apple has already pushed the envelope already. I am getting roughly 10 hours with use of Wifi and LTE from the A6 chip. They did not modify the battery at all and still getting the same battery life out of their chipset from the iPhone 4S with 4G. With this technology it will get better and better!!!

Its amazing to have advanced so far but there will be a wall which we will hit that will need to be removed by a truly revolutionary technology. This would have to break the barriers of Moore's law and move us into isolinear chips or something lol
