By the time there’s a 5nm version of Ryzen, there’ll be a 4nm M2.

AMD’s 5nm shift is scheduled for 2022

iPhone 13 (2021) rumors indicate a 4nm SoC

If it is the same foundry (and it is in this case) you can compare them and you can assume that 3mn is better than 4mn and better than 5mn. Across foundries, no so much.
