Well, the process size numbers between different companies have been somewhat meaningless for a while now, as they all measure different things. Intel's 14nm process is still larger than the 5nm TSMC process used here, but the difference is considerably smaller than the numbers suggest. It's a fair point about VLIW cores being a lot cheaper in terms of power budget though. I'm still extremely sceptical but I concede that at least on paper it's not impossible.
