I don't think so, TSMC 7nm is ahead in many ways. For example, Intel 10nm power efficiency is much worse.

Intel 10nm is maybe more comparable with Samsung 8nm.
- Traster 5y agoTSMC 7nm = Intel 10nm is a crazy old trope that dates back to before everyone realised that Intel couldn't deliver 10nm. I don't know why people keep repeating it.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoAny node after they stopped measuring gate dimensions is a trope. We need a better metric, a marketing term doesn’t work.
- gruez 5y ago>TSMC 7nm is ahead in many ways. For example, Intel 10nm power efficiency is much worse. Is this based on the lithography process, or because of the uarch? The 7nm = 10nm was from https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/File:7nm_densities.svg https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/File:7nm_densities.svg, which looked at the density. Based comparison tables of lithography processes, it doesn't even look like power is something that they compare (eg. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/7_nm_lithography_process https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/7_nm_lithography_process)
