Why is Qualcomm able to hit 5nm but Intel is stuck on 14nm and amd is still pushing 7nm?

I think there's a huge dIfference between x86_x64, and ARM. Also Intel manufactures their own chips in-house, while qualcomm (and AMD) use external parties. That basically means that all required machinery and tooling already exists and is primed, meaning qualcomm and AMD 'just' need to engineer the chipsets, then have them made at whoever has the tech to do so.

Intel needs to buy all their own tools/machinery/factories.

Why intel won't just find a 3rd party, i don't know. But it's nice to see them bite the dust for once.
