Apple is on N3 in risk production. AMD is releasing N5 chips in a handful of months. The only reason that AMD hasn't been on N5 for a year is that a new Intel competitor has a monopoly on the node. Not exactly a point in Intel's favor.
And I'll believe that they're off of their node formally known as 10nm when I see it. It's been close to ten years straight that Intel has been slipping their public deadlines for bringing a new node up.
So, yeah, for a company that used to be a full node ahead of everyone, there's some serious stagnation going on.
Intel's "7" is just their 10nm node that they renamed (that was originally supposed to launch in 2018 and was delayed to 2020). Intel "4" (their 7nm node) was supposed to be out already, but now looks like it will be 2023 at the earliest.
It proves that they keep shifting goalposts. Once Ryzen was starting to dominate, they were against benchmarks[1]. Now they released CPU that is only good in benchmarks (expensive platform, per watt performance, limited software support, further fragmentation avx-512).
