They have been making their own x86 knock-offs for a while now, but not at the same scale as the "regular" - i.e. they'd been doing it at 14nm or so, so less efficient.

I don't know if they have better fab process since then, and for how big a scale.

Their x86 fabs are producing a 5 yr old Intel node, and with unknown defect rate. This is about getting down to the modern node size to (eventually) to get competitive with the two major ARM nodes.
