No, it's just that they use a different scale for vanity metric number. Intel's chips aren't competitive for the price; they just have customer inertia.

Even on a transistors per mm measure the 14nm++++ they are using is vastly inferior to TSMC’s 7nm.

Its only Intel 10nm that is equivalent and we don’t have desktop CPUs on that process yet (if we will at all).
