> TSMCs 5nm is 1.8x more dense than 7nm, 30% more efficient and 15% faster TSMC's 5nm is 30% more power efficient OR 15% faster. When Apple's 5nm cores first started shipping, it became evident that Apple took the power reduction and not the performance increase. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16088/apple-announces-5nm-a14-soc-meagre-upgrades-or-less-power-hungry https://www.anandtech.com/show/16088/apple-announces-5nm-a14... AMD may choose differently when they do their own die shrink, of course.
