Intel had to scramble to effectively increase processor density in laptops by 2x and 3x almost overnight when Ryzen came out. They have been resting on their laurels for a better part of a decade. They are also working on the same TDP constraints as before. A considerable feat in such a short time, 2x more cores and 700MHz more turbo.

Looking at the Macbook Pro design, it is suppose to be able to cool the Radeon 560X which has a TDP of 75W with a similar set of fin sizes and fans on the opposing side. This should mean in theory be able to handle even a grossly overpowered CPU. I think they can fix it.
