That's my kind of lake.

I mostly just find it interesting that TSMC seems to have leapfrogged Intel in fabrication processes quite solidly.

Not at all - the single "nanometers" figure has been very heavily fudged since 22nm, and different vendors fudge it differently. They're all struggling mightily at these scales (which is understandable). The number is bluster for the market (which I have less sympathy for).
