The problem is that N7 process, is from 2018. thats 4 years that TSMC have been developing their N6, N5, N4, N3 processes.
N5 (which Apple uses), was late 2019 with the A14 processor with AMD starting to jump in this year with it.
N3 should be out this year, more than likely with another flagship apple product.
Now. As per Intels roadmap, https://www.anandtech.com/show/16823/ https://www.anandtech.com/show/16823/ , They should have Intel 4 out later this year. Which should be slightly faster than N5. The big question is whether they stick to their schedules.
