The only way anyone except Intel is making 14nm bitcoin ASICs is if they pay a shit load of money to Intel.
or to someone....14nm is a pretty significant scaling hurdle as we are starting to build chips with components that are only a few atoms across

Very interesting article. However, it may be possible for companies to get Intel to make the chips. I expect that would be very costly though. Probably currently way out to the reach of smaller companies.
