2. "What is Tjunction max temperature?"
Tjunction max is the maximum thermal junction temperature that a
processor will allow prior to using internal thermal control mechanisms
to reduce power and limit temperature. Activation of the processor's
thermal control system may cause performance loss as the processor
typically reduces frequency and power to prevent overheating. The
maximum junction temperature limit varies per product and usually is
between 100°C-110°C."

The utilities I used always stated a 100 deg limit for Tj.
Yeah, so "maximum" is "before performance loss", not "before damage".
Yeah, so a dozen years ago, when I first noticed the matter, most
computers didn't have throttling and power reduction, so I got
sensitized to it. Better safe than sorry. Airliners have safeguards
against stalling, but it's a lot better not to try to stall them anyway
(speaking as a (non-airline) pilot).
Let's give this a rest, shall we?
