  There's lots of variation in how companies define their nodes and not really connected to any measurement anymore. I.e. if a company speaks about it's "10nm node" that doesn't mean there is a physical thing 10nm in size (and e.g. Intels 10nm node is often considered to be equivalent to Samsungs 7nm node) - it's better to think of it as a version number in a way. As such, talking about these things gets confusing quickly, and the article also doesn't clarify what exactly it means when it says "10nm in size".
