The nanometer process is not an actual standard. So it's apples and oranges to compare two fabs

You are right, there different ways to measure transistors, but if I recall it correctly this should not account for more than 20 or 30% difference.

of course, but no matter the standards, TSMC 5nm is significantly smaller (and efficienter) than Intel 14nm.
