Alder Lake Core i9 processor is faster than the M1 Max

Wouldn't solve the problem. Basically you need the integrated components to have shorter transition times. These are an inherent property of the component: speeding up the transition time basically means "replace this component with a different component that has a shorter transition time"

Overvolting the component and sending more current to any transistor tends to speed it up, though at the cost of severely more watts used.

Overclocking is often a combination of overvolting (leading to more amps), allowing you to increase clock speeds.

As they say, "the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long", or, in this case, "the transistor that runs at thrice the voltage runs for about 1.3 seconds"

Overvolting is how this is solved and works with adequate cooling.
