Samsung is preparing to manufacture 7LPP and 5LPE process ARM chips:
Samsung has said its chip foundry building Arm Cortex-A76-based processors will use 7nm process tech in the second half of the year, with 5nm product expected mid-2019 using the extreme ultra violet (EUV) lithography process.
The A76 64-bit chips will be able to pass 3GHz in clock speed. Back in May we wrote: "Arm reckoned a 3GHz 7nm A76 single core is up to 35 per cent faster than a 2.8GHz 10nm Cortex-A75, as found in Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845, when running mixed integer and floating-point math benchmarks albeit in a simulator."
[...] Samsung eventually envisages moving to a 3nm Gate-All-Round-Early (3AAE) on its process technology roadmap. Catch up, Intel, if you can.

Dunno what to tell you. There are Xeon-powered laptops. Intel is "stuck" at "14nm" but can go to "10nm" without too much trouble. If their "10nm" is equivalent to Samsung's "7nm", then an octo-core ARM laptop chip still isn't comparable to a Xeon. Unless there are plans to put something a bit more interesting into these ARM notebooks (more interesting than say, a Snapdragon 1000 [soylentnews.org]).
