Is it really 1nm though or is it just a marketing thing?

It's a marketing thing. Process size used to be approximately the same as gate length, but that hasn't been true since 22nm (with a gate length around 25nm). 2nm has a gate length of around 12nm. 1nm process gate length is unknown but unlikely to be much smaller than 10nm.

It's 5nm process, but that equates to a gate length of 16nm to 20nm I believe.
