TSMC has finally begun 20nm volume production. Maxwell big boys are coming, along with volcanic islands :D:twisted:

Hopefully new GPUs with 20nm chip will be available by the end of this year. Confused if I should delay my graphics card upgrade plan till the end of this year.

what would be basic advantage of this die shrink?? power consumption?? etc

Mainly power consumption and heat generation.
However the 20nm is the fabrication process. Die size is a different thing.

^ die size will shrink, generally speaking.
