Intel's lower end 10th gen CPUs were also made on 10nm, but the 10th gen i7s were still made on 14nm, which is roughly the same density as AMD's original Zen processors from 2017. Their 14nm is nearly 1/3rd the density of their 10nm so burns a lot more power, which put Intel at a huge disadvantage for 3+ years. 11th gen is when Intel's mobile i7s finally made it to 10nm. (Their 11th gen desktop i7s are still made on 14nm - they're having trouble with heat dissipation in their 10nm process.)
It will be a short-lived respite though. AMD is supposed to switch to TSMC's 5nm process for Zen 3 in 2022. That's about a 1.7x higher density than Intel 10nm. Apple has already been manufacturing on TSMC's 5nm for a year, which is why the M1 processor does so well (it has nearly 5x higher transistor density than the Intel CPUs it replaced on the Macs). Intel's hopes lie with their 7nm process (now renamed Intel 4) - that should be around 2x the density of their 10nm, and on par with TSMC's 3nm process. But it's not scheduled until 2023, and there are doubts Intel will even make that deadline. TSMC already has 3nm in sample production, and Apple may roll out new chips using it in 2022.
The wild card in all this is that Intel could conceivably try to outbid Apple to manufacture their CPUs on TSMC's 3nm. They're one of the few companies with a fatter profit margin than Apple. The only thing stopping them is their pride (they've always manufactured their own processors).
Edit: just an update to add that my last Acer Nitro didn't even last two years. It actually broke midsummer, so I got about a year and a half. And from the photo, it looks like this exact design, so it's possible this screen connects in the exact same way.

This processor looks to be fantastic:

Apparently, the 144Hz screen is not well received in the review above with low NITs and other items.
I don't mean to knock the deal.....as clearly a better screen means a higher cost.

However that would really only be a boon if you didn't have a monitor and do travel in this age of lockdowns. Also that chip seems odd so can't really compare to my Ryzen builds there

Seriously, y'all, raise your standards- this ain't it, chief.
