the reason why it is that good is because they have successfully overlapped 6 heatpipes in a small area which is just nice compared to the proc contact area.

this is very crucial in removing the heat as fast as possible from the proc.
do note that those really high end heatsinks will have small base surface area or thin block to ensure that the heat goes to the heatpipe ASAP instead of storing it in the base area.
