there are rumors that samsung is actually ahead of intel in getting to 10nm and the snapdragon 830 will probably be a 2017 product or close to

In fairness, what Intel calls 10nm is MUCH more rigorous a standard than what the rest of the market calls 10nm.

 

If I remember correctly, the TSMC/GloFo 16/14 nm process is almost closer in area to Intels 22nm process than its 14nm process.
