I don't have any direct experience with "deep submicron" stuff, but from what I've read you basically can't trust these numbers to be comparable. The various sizes/spacings don't scale together the way they did for larger feature sizes, so you could have e.g. a "14nm" process where the area of an SRAM cell, NAND gate etc. ends up the same size as another foundry's "20nm" process even though the actual transistors are smaller.
