If you're not into semiconductor process engineering, it helps to know what a node is:

They are specified by the ITRS:

What about costs? Fabs keep getting more and more expensive, plus x86 is getting increasing competition from much cheaper ARM chips.

x86 is still ahead in terms of compute power per watt in the server space... though doesn't have much that goes as low power as ARM can. I see ARM taking over more personal devices, as it has.
