If Intel had 'worked more on [thermals]' we probably wouldn't have the M2 chip.
At nearly every phase of Intel's history they've had the second-worst chips for instructions per watt, occasionally taking over first place.
In a world where a large and ever-growing percentage of all CPUs are not fronted by giant cooling fans... It's like Intel decided what they wanted on their tombstone in 1995 and haven't felt the need to change it since.
