Thanks for clarifying things; as a software guy this is all in the realm of "magic" to me :) Do you have any pointers to layperson things that I can read about microarchitecture design improvements and process nodes?

For beginners, just go through the list of article on Anandtech would be good enough for most. From IPC, uArch to Fab, that would take at least a few weekends to get a meaningful understanding. After that Wikichip is a more intermediate+ level site. I just want to add additional information to your parent, it is not quite Intel cant manufacture it yet, they have it on mobile, called Ice Lake, and Tiger Lake coming later this year. So that is 2 generation ahead of its desktop counterpart.
