Hate to break it to you, but Intel's new naming convention really better matches what TSMC and Samsung have done. Intel was just dead set for too long on each process node giving a density improvement of <70% from the previous generation, but TSMC didn't get anywhere near that from 10->7nm (can't seem to post link to article showing this, but you can search it).
I'll salute healthy competition. Intel just hung way too much with 14nm, so much that it became a bit of a joke, and their response was just as hilarious. With that said, the current shrinking pace of silicon is encouraging and i wouldn't have guessed that we'll eventually get so close to the limits.
