From tapeout to mass production can be done within seven weeks if everything goes OK

TO - beginning of March.

Tapeout to samples:

40nm, 28nm - 8 weeks
20nm - 4-5 months

Prove me wrong.

Missed by two weeks. 20nm has many flavors, layers selection etc. Apparently they've choose a simple variant and were able to do it in 3.5 months.
Lot of good it did them in terms of ASIC power/performance.

Doesn't matter what variant they chose because you stated that knc would take 4 months minimum and they did it in 3. Also you told me 5 months in PM.

Admit it, your magic crystal ball is not nearly as accurate as you suggest.

They did it in 3.5 months, assuming I was right and they started in the beginning of March.
They claimed they started in February, which means they did it in 3.5 - 4 months.
I admit that I was probably wrong by 2 weeks.
I've explained the reason. It has to do with the amount of layers.
