I'm writing this message from a laptop with 10nm chip. It works fine. nanometers aren't everything. Most of the time they are just marketing.
Yea that is true, but in smaller form factors a 10 nm chip wouldn’t be sufficient anymore. They generally consume more energy or they are slower.
If consumers had the choice between the two chips they generally choose the smaller ones because of their inherent benefits.
You can do a lot with a working 5nm process. This will hurt Samsung and TSMC (and by extention Qualcomm and Intel) a lot. The market isn't just the most cutting edge stuff.
