Desktop CPUs can get pretty hot already, whether we're talking AMD or Intel, which probably goes some way towards explaining the seemingly increasing prevalence of AIO cooling compared to air cooling. I've come to accept that CPUs are getting hotter, and so be it. So color me unphased by the recent rumour that next-gen Intel desktop CPUs might have max temps akin to Meteor Lake ones.
According to X user and hardware leaker Jaykihn (via Tom's Hardware), the TJMax for Arrow Lake (and Panther Lake) is going to be 105 °C. TJMax means Temperature Junction Max, and refers to the maximum temperature the CPU can reach before it starts thermal throttling for safety.
