While this is mostly correct, it is worth noting that FPGAs are mostly 28nm and 20nm processes, and have just started shipping on 16nm[1]. That doesn't require

While this is mostly correct, it is worth noting that FPGAs are mostly 28nm and 20nm processes, and have just started shipping on 16nm[1]. That doesn't require state of the art. The FPGA market is comparatively small though so doesn't affect the market dynamics much.
