These are crazy frequencies and I am sure they have the thermals to match, but this is also the sign that competition is tight. Both companies are trying to get every bit of performance out of their designs. Advanced cooling systems that are now common on enthusiast machines are helping. Regardless if you think they can pull it off or not, Intel's roadmap is fascinating. They expect pretty tremendous growth not just in the processor space, but in the US foundry space. They are aiming to be able to compete with TSMC and Samsung in this space.
