Moving to newer CPUs doesn't fix thermal limitations on old models. There are still entire generations of Apple laptops with chassis that were poorly matched to their CPU.
Plus... Intel chips are wattage-configurable. If Apple chose to run their CPUs at a TDP beyond what the Macbook could dissipate, isn't that a software issue? There are a lot of ultrabook CPUs that have ACPI tables tuned to lower temperatures, even the insufferable 14nm Intel ones.
