I always wondered why... I mean I understand the processes will be different for each vendor, but shouldn't 1nm the same for all vendors? They might use different technologies to achieve it but it should be a measuring unit... What is the actual difference between Intel and everybody else as to count 10 Intel nm < 7 TSMC nms?

Maybe it's easy to find out in google but cant find the correct combination of keywords...

short answer is there are many parts with sizes in different dimensions x/y/z so what dimension do you measure or average to come up with a final "nm" rating for your cpu?
