Process node-size names are more or less semantic marketing games these days anyways. What TSMC calls 7nm is roughly equivalent to what Intel called 10nm.
Its likely that Intel will roll out a node at that size, but being forced to abandon their previous attempt is a crushing blow that has set them back years, and will likely set them back years more to come.
It takes years to develop a node size, and they have had to throw out most of their work.
Yeah, no kidding. The king of the kings, the 9900K, is only marginally faster than the 2700X in almost every benchmark, with the 2700X being a lot cheaper. If I was building a PC today I would pick AMD without any hesitation.
