To quote Jobs: real artists ship. I suppose that since TSMC makes both processors as others have pointed out TSMC is the first to ship with at the 7nm node.

  System on a chip which means cpu, gpu, modem, etc. Almost the whole system you need. Then ram is baked on top of the chip literally.

  System on chip. It usually refers to a cpu with integrated devices such as GPU, memory controller, camera interface, wireless, etc.
