You can't (directly) compare semiconductor node sizes across manufacturers -- it no longer corresponds to any meaningful physical measurement and is just a made-up number from the marketing department. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_nanometer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_nanometer:
> Since 2009, however, "node" has become a commercial name for marketing purposes that indicates new generations of process technologies, without any relation to gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch. For example, GlobalFoundries' 7 nm process is similar to Intel's 10 nm process, thus the conventional notion of a process node has become blurred. TSMC and Samsung's 10 nm processes are somewhere between Intel's 14 nm and 10 nm processes in transistor density.
