It's a bit odd to me basing a purchasing decision on process nodes. I would consider overall product features rather the foundry or foundry node in of it self.

In fact, I'd rather being inclined towards n-1 node and not take the risk of being first for high volume manufacturing for a new node.

It's a bit odd to want a SOC with reduced power usage and/or improved performance?

> Compared to TSMC's N5 manufacturing technology, the company's N3 production node promises to deliver a 10% to 15% performance improvement (at the same power and transistor count), reduce power consumption by 25% – 30% (at the same frequency and complexity), and increase logic density by around 1.6 times.
