So now each year we can't do proper benchmarks anymore because there will always be the (X)nm vs (X-1)nm argument.

What's wrong with using price-power-performance ratio benchmarks on what's available on the market?

Yea I think this argument about node size comes up because in this case you couldn't buy just the soc but the whole Mac computer. People didn't care that some of advantage Intel had was from their process superiority because you didn't have to make any choices other than the CPU itself.
