Pretty much.
It's the same with 14nm from Samsung/Global Foundries etc'. That is actually based on 20nm with a 20nm BEOL.
"nm" used to be semi-accurate, now it's just bullshit terminology that gets thrown around and people run with it without any real understanding.

7nm would still be more costly then than 14/16nm is right now. If a PS4 Superslim would come out this year then most probably not below 249$ |
Depends on how big of a chip you are building. The more transistors you throw at a chip, the more cost effective 7nm becomes.
