But did Intel use liquid nitrogen cooling to achieve this?
I am joking but just a bit. Intel has long history of dirty tricks when it comes to benchmarks - using liquid nitrogen cooling and not mentioning it, manipulating the compiler to generate slower code on competing CPUs, terms of service forbidding publication of benchmarks, fuzzy use (or not mentioning it at all) of TWP/energy usage.
What they say can only be used as an upper bound of how it actually is. The odds are is that it's much worse and with some strings attached as well.
