They can't. Silicon melts @ 1400C for both. They both become unstable they higher temp you go. I can run a A64/C2D all day at 150C if the internal temp monitors wouldnt shut chip down, albeit at lower freqs to maintain stable, just like a GPU.
GPU's are downtuned to allow wider variances in core temps because of small slot coolers inherent problems is why you see them hitting 90C with little issue.
