Unless you provide a source from a place like anandtech or tomshardware, and have in-depth testing, as well as a good explanation why 16nm did better than 14nm, then just leave quietly.

                                  14nm should not be the same as 16nm, it SHOULD be better, and in A9 case, it's worse.

                                    Samsung refuse to give their latest tech for A10
                                    That is why apple were forced to use TSMC.
                                    SIMPLE AS THAT
                                    Apple just use "word" for business trick
                                    you know how BIG is that massive giant samsung
                                    and how big baddass their R&D spending
                                    they prepare for 11k screen tech
                                    can you imagine that... yes 11K screen that is very crazy
