Intel can't make large 10nm dies, or at least isn't, but there's quite a few 10nm mobile parts and they are on their second shipping generation of those parts.

Intel can't make large 10nm dies, or at least isn't, but there's quite a few 10nm mobile parts and they are on their second shipping generation of those parts. Which are shipping in volume, or at least volume-enough for the likes of Dell to put the 10nm CPUs in most of their lineup including the XPS series. Which is about where TSMC's 7nm was 2 years ago, too.
And TSMC's 170MTr/mm^2 is still restricted to a single vendor and hasn't ramped up beyond that yet. You can't simultaneously claim Intel is restricted to what their bulk volume lineup is and then use TSMC's non-volume lineup. The bulk of TSMC is still 7nm which is 100MTr/mm^2.
