While surprisingly high, that temp is not out of the realm of what's possible.

The Anandtech article about the reveal remind people that while the TDP of the chips is 170W, the "Power Package Tracking" (PPT), which is the max power the chips can use, is 230W, almost right on par with Intel's 12900K. So, if he was using a 7950X or 7900X and stressed all its cores for a while, those kinds of temps could be possible.

That brings another question for Raptor Lake: if 230W do that, how will people be able to cool the 13900K when it uses more than 300W? With a 480mm proper liquid-cooling setup?
