From Intel specs,
T junction for Intel Skylake and Broadwell processors are respectively 100 and 105 degree Celsius.
T junction is the maximum temperature which is allowed for a processor without destroying itself.
Isn't Skylake a backward move by reducing the maximum allowed temperatute?
Higher the T junction, better for the processor as it gives more headroom. Also, if it is allowed to go to higher temperature, cooling efficiency increases because temperature difference between environment and processor increases. Temperature difference is inversely proportional to time required to transfer the heat.
Edit: Processors should be designed to be able to operate at a higher temperature without an impact on its 'reliability and life'. This follows a higher Tj max. Finally improved cooling efficiency inherently.
