Blaming Intel for the end to frequency scaling is overblown. The reality is that the entire field started to hit limitations imposed by physics on the current silicon trajectory. While transistors kept (and keep) getting smaller, it's diminishing returns squeezing clockspeed and single-core performance out of it. Instead, everything has been going into scaling horizontally with more cores and more cache.

Also the current gen high end laptop CPUs from Intel are still 14nm. Which they introduced in 2015 with broadwell [1]. Others have shown that’s it’s very possible to scale beyond 14nm, so there is good reason to blame Intel here! 1. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/87719/intel-core-i7-5850hq-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-60-ghz.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/87719/i...
