Development
The 28nm BE300 engineering batch tapeout was in September 16 with TSMC.
...
14nm/16nm projects are at pre-evaluation and pre-design stage. It has to be done
in 2015 but the starting time of placing orders depends on overall gain vs (NRE/R&D/risks).
...
The mass production time of BE300 in terms of chip-out date is February to March, 2015.

December 16 is to be expected for us to get the chips. Testing time varies at 3-10 days since we had much more preparation work already done this time.

They got those chips about a week early it seems so they seem to be on track and we've heard nothing that would suggest any delays.
