Intel Announces 8 Core I9-9900KS: Every Core at 5Ghz, All the Time

Are they doing worse? Or are they still ahead, just not as far ahead as they used to be?

I wouldn't expect any massive leads in any industry to last for long. This might just be regression to the mean.

They are behind. I think they have a chance to catch up with their 7nm which is supposed to be better than TSMC 7nm. But it won’t be soon.

But what does that really mean?

They still seem to be producing the fastest processors available for desktop and server.

It doesnt matter if someone else is making even a 3nm chip if the chip still can't outperform the current offerings.

The sizing numbers are also just nonsense marketing. They stopped meaning anything in particular a long time ago. Intel's '10nm' and TSMC's '7nm' are about the same size.

The size numbers do measure something, but what they're measuring differs between manufacturers.

They aren't comparable between AMD and Intel. They absolutely are comparable between Intel and Intel.

I wouldn't say that. Why are Epycs worse than Skylake xeons?
