The Kirin 9000S is only 2% larger than the original 9000, which was made using TSMC 5nm. It performs far better than any 7nm chip.
CPU Performance almost matches the 4nm Exynos 2200, which because the 2300 was a no show is the best chip Samsung has.
GPU Performance although not a match for the original 9000 still exceeds the 5nm Snapdragon 888.

That’s nuts how far ahead Apple is: these are all recent chips at the A13 came out in 2019
Apple doesn’t actually make the chips, that would be TSMC
TSMC doesn’t actually make the chips, that would be EUV machines manufactured by ASML operated by employees of TSMC if you want to be pedantic.
Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 is built on TSMC 4nm as well, so that’s probably not the single factor.
