It depends on the voltage used. If they run 48V which seems to be supported by USB-C EPR. Then the cable has to do the same 5A it's capable of doing today. Then the heat is the same.

When it comes to their own new connector/cable they can use even higher voltage or more/thicker conductors for power.
