They are measuring the smallest feature size - the smallest shape that is reliably replicated across the wafer. Actually pretty impressive when you think about the lithography behind it.

If I wanted to be pedantic, Intel's first gen 10nm has a tip fin width of 7nm. 14nm had a tip fin width of 8nm. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13405/intel-10nm-cannon-lake-and-core-i3-8121u-deep-dive-review/3 https://www.anandtech.com/show/13405/intel-10nm-cannon-lake-...
