It’s a mix of both: their 10nm approach was overly ambitious and, upon failure, lost them multiple years. Then, on top of that, their model in the 2010s (“tick-tock”) was to alternate between a process shrink and a microarchitecture upgrade. So, because they failed to ship the 10nm shrink in volume, they were also stuck on the 2015 Skylake architecture for years. Both are resolved now, more or less, but it’ll take time to recover.
