So... SMIC is on par with Intel?!

/s

Anyhow, this article is clearly politically motivated so I'm not going to fall for this trap.

But let's assume that SMIC 7nm is on par with TSMC N7, that means China is just 2 full-nodes behind (N5, N3), not 5.

With 5 nodes, we are talking about TSMC 16nm and Samsung 14nm!
