Both chips are produced at TSMC factories, so both have the same meaning. We do not compare here two different manufacturers.

Yeah, no. The libraries used can and do differ.
Just to give an idea of how crazy it is here is a list of the synopsys TSMC 7nm cell libraries [1] and of course their are other companies that offer additional cell libraries. Also I have no way of proving this, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if both AMD and Apple have their own customizations or additions to whatever cell library they use.
