N7+ EUV is 1.2x denser but also it's yield is horrible according to sources. https://wccftech.com/tsmc-7nm-euv-yield-alleged/ https://wccftech.com/tsmc-7nm-euv-

And you can't compare tsmc vs Intel directly because their target chip size is different. Intel produces chips size of avg. 180mm² while tsmc and others aim for under 80mm². Even the industry leader producing small chips are suffering in yield for ranges of 113MTr/mm². Intel producing huge chips with 100.76MTr/mm² density even without EUV means they are going through the right way.
With those knoledges on non-EUV nodes I expect Intel to be on par (which it already is) or be superior than others in about 1-2 years.

People having insight to this industry doesn't think Intel has ever been left behind in this race towards density. Fanboys and regular people influenced by the media does.
