Simple. They booked 100% of TSMC.

It's 7nm with some improved process. Or 10nm with 2 improvements, or 14nm with 3 improvements, etc.
The process names are completely detached from reality in terms of actual transistor feature size. The only thing we can be reasonably certain of is that 5nm has some kind of improved density over 7nm.
