Yes, Intel has fallen behind already. Their 10nm process node and a supposed equivalent to TSMC, GloFo, and Samsung's 7nm nodes, won't be ready for mass production until 2019. Meanwhile all the other foundries will have their 7nm nodes ready for mass production this year.

Also, it's rumored that Intel's 10nm will actually be worse for clock speeds than its 14nm is.

Intel could ultimately try to make their processors using the other foundries until they get their tech sorted out. If I'm not wrong Samsung sells phones with Qualcomm processors and, consumers don't care much about that.
