Isn’t TSMC’s “7nm” more comparable to Intel’s 10nm?

On paper, yes.

In practice, TSMC's 7nm node is actually functional, and producing working chips.

Intel's 10nm... well, is garbage, because they were overconfident.

Now Intel has to either rework their 10nm node, after wasting many years of work on nothing, or just jump straight at 7nm, which seems equivalent to TSMC's 3nm node plans.
