Intel's 7nm should be comparable to TSMC's 5nm (actually Inte'ls original 10nm, the one that failed spectacularly, would've been better than TSMC's 7nm and 7nmP in terms of transistor density see [0]). And it was started a long ago (like new nodes usually are) so it should be coming along somewhere around the same time maybe? Intel hasn't said much about its future nodes, but there's some information and a few marketing slide around[1]. They seem to have learned from their 10nm mistake, so they're apparently planning to have + and ++ versions of the following nodes, that could handle production of a new microarch if the next node isn't ready, but only time will tell how that goes along.
