Intel's first Finfet was three years ago. I'll give Samsung a break an assume that the Samsung 16 Finfet is between the Intel 22nm and 14 nm. So Intel is about 2 years ahead.

Maybe you can answer this question then.

It took 22nm Atom cores to barely compete against 28nm ARM products, having no "FinFET" to boot.

ARM cores in 28nm were smaller than Intel 22nm cores. Also, nowadays Atom can't clock higher NOR perform better than ARM. Actually, Atom is substantially behind ARM.

How do you figure then, Intel has a "2 years" lead when it has no density or performance advantage?
