There's not a lot you can do to lower the thermal resistance of the dielectrics used in the signal layers, low-k and ultra-low-k are...

It is also possible these laptop CPUs are clocked lower to mitigate some of these thermal issues and they also operate at much lower...

Dan puts this well. No one is really saying "I will look at TSMC and Rapidus in parallel to see who wins". If you are "not TSMC"...
