>7nm is actually further delayed than what Bob Swan previously announced
Intel can't even solve their 10nm yield problem. Its great to have another foundry but Intel needs to step up.

PREVIOUS (incorrect): You can buy them (the "Rocket Lake S" platform) beginning March 30th, I believe. One issue they are having with 10nm (though not intently a fatal one) is that it doesn't seem to achieve market-leading single-thread performance without being ridiculously power-inefficient. In lower-power environments, e.g. in laptops, the 10nm chips seem to be "fine", in that they are improvements over 14nm+++. They're still not market-leading, but they are an improvement and not at the cost of power (relative to previous generation).
