I really don't understand diamond being a thermal conductor
Diamond is an excellent conductor of heat, a property which is utilized by jewelers ad gemologists everywhere to detect fake diamonds from real ones.
The testing device measures the subject gem's properties and returns a GO or NO-GO indication.
Manufactured diamonds can be detected, too, by their difference in fluorescence from natural diamonds.
Anyway, the thermal paste which includes diamonds, either natural or manufactured, is a superior product, which simply uses the gem's inherent properties to conduct heat better than competitive products.
Still, for all but the most demanding application, white silicone grease is probably good enough.
