It only took:
AMD going 7nm
Apple going 7m
other companies churning their own processors
for intel to go 10nm -.-
There's plenty of analysis to show Intel's 10nm is comparable to Global Foundaries/Ryzen 7nm process - same transistor density etc. Since 90nm, process naming has less to do with actual physical measurements and more to do with marketing - it's all of case of where you decide to measure. Much like the gigahertz myth of the late 90's - 2000s
Ultimately it's transistor density as well as the how fast these transistors can switch at high power levels for the performance desktop market that actually matters - here Intel 10nm is predicted to be comparable to Global Foundries 7nm..
