Intel and TSMC are all using lithography machines by ASML, so what is the difference? Are they using the same lithography machines? Is there a difference in production processes used at TSMC vs Intel? Does anyone know any details?

Here they say that TSMC has a lead in the number of EUV lithography machines. " in 2021 and 2022, TSMC will have acquired 40 - 50 EUV machines while Intel will have procured 13 - 20 machines. Estimates based on Dutch company ASML, who is the sole supplier of the machines, suggest that TSMC had anywhere in between 30 - 63 EUV scanners by the end of last year." But Intel is playing catch-up "even as TSMC currently leads in machine inventory, Intel's future inventory could render this advantage moot. Mr. Gelsinger's belief that Intel aims for "leadership by 2024" seems to follow this timeline as well."
