Intel could still use better TIM, or even the fancy liquid metal stuff. The fact that you can gain massive thermal benefits just from swapping it out with something better than the stuff they're using on a $1000+ CPU is pretty terrible. Even from a business perspective, a big temp drop is pretty marketable, especially for laptops where I'm sure they're doing the same thing. It's like buying a Ferrari and having it come with Arizonan tires which are glued on.
