Speaking as a former fab manufacturing engineer (back when AMD had fabs): 5 nodes in 4 years, is extremely optimistic. As in, I don't think it's ever been done in the history of the industry. On the other hand, several of those nodes have been running in production elsewhere for a while now, so it's not quite as crazy as it sounds. But, highly ambitious.

It really comes down to the people, and well, Intel doesn't have the best people today. They had a massive brain drain and those people are not coming back anytime soon considering how well their stock is doing at competing companies.
