The 7950X is putting out 95c as the new normal under stress testing. It's putting out more heat than a GPU. The GPU will throttle long before it ever reaches that temperature.
I also just checked in, and Intel's 13900K is also putting out up to 100c during the same workloads. We're talking temperatures so high that you used to blue screen, or solder used to crack from thermal expansion.
Some people have gotten the 13900K to hit 100c under water.
Also, there is at least one account so far of someone hitting 87c on a 420 Arctic Freezer ii, one of the best AiOs on the market. Custom water cooling doesn't seem to be improving the thermal performance on this front either.
For comparison, most high end GPUs under water do between 30c-70c under benchmarking conditions.
The 13900K can draw so much power that it can hit a monstrous 8GHz on LN2, and the overclocker considered that a baseline.
CPUs are the real space heater now, and when you throw in a hot mamba like the 4090 you'll probably be able to heat a two story home and basement!
It's about watts of energy, not max temperature. Honestly not sure if 7000 or 13000 puts out more watts though.
Heating a glass of water to boiling takes less energy (wattage) than bringing a gallon of water from room temperature to body temperature. Sure, the glass of water is hotter, but there's more heat energy now in the gallon.
How to slide a discussion about political interference in room temperature into a discussion about gaming machines!
Bingo.
I remember trying to explain to someone less knowledgeable the reference temperatures for the 3080 last year. They were freaking out about the temps even though they were well within normal range. They wanted to waste money on a waterblock specifically for it. I was facepalming and cringing so much
i ended up compromising by doing a 3 fan set up at the end of the pci slots. it dropped about 3 more degrees but it only cost $20 as opposed to $300
