Intel's last hurrah on 14nm doesn't push the needle in any meaningful way.
Intel had a clearly defined tick-tock strategy: with every generation, we got a fabrication enhancement (tick) followed by a refresh of the microarchitecture to leverage the full gains of that node (tock). This has worked reliably all the way from 65nm to 14nm, and solidified Intel's position as the leading chip manufacturer in the world.
