The upcoming Snapdragon and Exynos chips are on Samsung's 5nm process, so they should be relatively comparable. I wouldn't worry on that front.

TSMC promises up to a 30% improvement in power consumption or up to 15% more performance over the current N7 node in the 5nm process. This relatively matches with Apple's claim this gen.
So Apple might have put the engineering effort on desktops & laptops this time.
- simonh 6y agoTransitioning to a new node can be tricky, so in the past they have been very conservative in their changes to the design when doing so. Better to do the transition with as few new potential surprises as possible. This is also true for Qualcomm so I’d expect to see similar, mainly process node driven changes in their new chips as well.
