N7 is a rough node to target. You have the high capital costs for NRE being an EUV node, but N5 is supposed to be cheaper to manufacturer chips on pretty much as soon as N3 is in full swing. So those companies would probably be targeting something in the range of 14nm to 10nm in order to take advantage of the fire sale on late DUV tooling to prove that they can make a working chip to investors, and then leapfrog to N5 after the giants have jumped to N3.
