On: Intel Confirms 8th Gen Core on 14nm, Data Center First to New Nodes

From my understanding, they're going to go straight from 14nm to 7nm after they finish Fab 42 (however long that takes).

That would be a disaster since 7nm won't be available until 2020 or so.

(Also, the White House is probably not a great source for semiconductor roadmaps.)

Is a direct statement from Brian Krzanich less authoritative than a press release?

e: Though yes, it wasn't reasonable for me to read having no 10nm plans into his statement.
