Fun fact, diamond has 4x the thermal conductivity of copper.

I had to look up at what temperature diamonds start to oxidize/burn[0]: Different sources say different things but apparently it's somewhere between 700°C and 900°C (depending on the exact conditions I suppose).

I suppose that's enough for cookware?

Your lower and is around the melting point of aluminum, that is in wide use in cookware.
