According to James Meindl (from the Georgia Institute of Technology) graphene will only become a viable alternative once CMOS semiconductor manufacturing will reach 7 nanometer - which will happen around 2024 (according to Moore's law).
Meindl believes that the most likely usages of graphene is switches - and he's working on 15 nanometer-wide ribbons that could rival silicon.
