Being just meanless names still Intel tries to say that "Intel 7" competes with TSMC 7nm, yet at 16 cores Intel have half the cache, the big cores consumes a lot more power and half the cores are "little", how is that equivalent? And how calling TMSC N7 "20nm" and Intel 7 "18nm" would give a better indication of density and power?
