imho, the only reason to go to 14nm and below is if you are pushing the envelope in terms of performance (HPC) or integration (smartphone). Everything else can probably stay at 28nm or above and be combined with 14-7nm using 2.5D or 3D package integration. Note that unless you are a Tier-1 system player you will "never" be able to get known good dies from a big fabless semi vendor, but taping out twice yourself and combining them yourself is pretty straightforward if you have a good packaging partner (like Amkor/ASE)
