By the way, it will be interesting to compare AMDs 14nm manufacturing process "performance" to Nvidia's 16nm manufacturing process.
Until the actual comparison-test reports come in, we can't say which is better. There are rumors -- but they are rumors.
Nonetheless, "on paper", AMD 14nm should have a "measurable" performance advantage -- in FPS and/or power use. They should also cost less per chip at a given performance level.
Thing is, AMD is said to be aiming at "very low power requirements" and "low price" with the first Polaris cards (versus highest possible FPS). Nvidia may have emphasized something else. So, we won't know anything for sure until both AMD 14nm and Nvidia 16nm cards are on the market and tested on a spectrum of different games.
