> AMD is about to release 7nm CPUs manufactured by TSMC, meanwhile Intel only recently sorted out its 10nm issues

You can tell who the AMD fanboys are because they keep repeating this line even though it gets pointed out every time that the different fabs measure density differently and that Intel's 10 nm process is on par with TSMC's 7 nm.

The difference is that Intel's 10nm process doesn't exist in a meaningful sense.
Please don’t use characterizations like “fanboys”
Except TSMC is also on track with their 5nm plans for volume production in 2020 while Intel has been stuck on 10nm for years with "promises" of 7nm ...
TSMC 7nm is production, Intel 10nm is (still) vaporware :P
Nowhere is his comment he said Intel 10nm is better or worse than TSMC 7nm. Not sure who is being fanboy here. At the time of my comment there are three comments repeating the same fact of how fabs measure density differently. I would say Intel fanboys is getting defensive.
