M2 MacBook Air scores higher on Windows 11 GeekBench than pricier Dell laptop

AMD is also stuck on TSMC's 7nm node while Apple hogs up all their 5nm capacity for M1/2 and A15.

Intel has no real excuse since they use their own fabs and spun their wheels on 14nm for half a decade.

You can not compare TSMC's "7nm" with Intels "14 nm". These numbers are just marketing...

Can't we go with MT? (millions of transistors per square millimeter)

Power and speed isn't just about transistor density. The construction of the transistors also has an impact. See FinFET and GAAFET.

The Ryzen 7000 series will be on 5nm, right? So not too stuck, while that of course isn't shipping yet.

Their excuse is that they were ambitious with 10nm and it didn't work for them
