This... isn't a fact. It's the opposite from what I've read - the architecture is just as important as the smaller nm process. This post is good reading on the

  I really doubt the M1 would perform nearly as good if it was a 14nm chip with 8b transistors.

    The nanometer process is not an actual standard. So it's apples and oranges to compare two fabs

      You are right, there different ways to measure transistors, but if I recall it correctly this should not account for more than 20 or 30% difference.

      of course, but no matter the standards, TSMC 5nm is significantly smaller (and efficienter) than Intel 14nm.
