From
The difference between 28 and 20 nm is about 20 to 25 percent accord to Nvidia's Chief Scientist Dally. Therefore, process doesn't matter that much anymore. If Nvidia is clever about architecture and circuit design, then can make up for the fact that Nvidia has competitors [Intel] that are a node ahead.
Chip stacking is increasingly seen as an alternative to moving to the next semiconductor node at a time when process technology is providing less bang for the buck.
Nvidia says it will roll in 2015 Volta, a graphics chip using stacked memory.
