It's not really even about the cooling here for the short time it would sustain it, they're correctly saying that Apple uncaps TDP and lets things run right to their tjunctionmax on both battery and AC power, however shortly.
When faced with a duopoly wanting one side to fail risks total stagnation. It just takes AMD or TSMC to drop the ball again as they have in the last 5 years and the whole market stagnates. But maybe you enjoy gambling!
I don‘t think any reasonable person wants Intel to completely fail. That said, imho they need to continue to stumble and hurt a lot more / longer until we get to the point where they can no longer get OEM to not offer the best possible solution because of their financial horsepower.
If it‘s just a short stretch, Intel will kill competition and progress just like they did in the past. No reasonable person would want that either.
Intel failing for another 3-5 years is a good thing. They have PLENTY of money, they can easily survive that long.
But give another 3-5 years and OEMs might finally start using AMD across their lineups, and Intel would really hurt, to the point they finally have to cut the crusty useless folds of their enormous mass and actually compete again.

If it's a Windows laptop .. Yes.If it's a MacBook Pro .. No.

yes Macbooks with their inferior cooling have mastered the art of down clocking and undervolting no doubt.TEAMSWITCHER - Thursday, April 2, 2020 - link

DOA for me.TEAMSWITCHER - Thursday, April 2, 2020 - link
Me Too... But only because I just got my new 16" MacBook Pro. I already have 8 cores, 16 Threads, and FOUR Thunderbolt three ports. I'm all set.wrkingclass_hero - Thursday, April 2, 2020 - link
Every intel article for the last few years has filled me with glee. I hope they continue in their current trajectory.smilingcrow - Thursday, April 2, 2020 - link
