16nm FinFET tech is now ready for development since it has passed the required verification procedures and about 60 projects are already underway. Mass production is scheduled to start sometime in mid 2015. The known products in development on 16 nm are Avago, Freescale, LG, MediaTek, NVIDIA, Renesas and Xilinx. The list is obviously not exhaustive in nature but AMD should still have been included in this short list. There is the slight chance that the reporter did not consider AMD an important enough company to mention but the chance of that in my opinion is quite low unless the reporter had zero knowledge of the PC Hardware ecosystem.
NVIDIA confirmed to use TSMC 16nm FinFET process
