That's dangerously close to having a forced shutdown of the CPU (some i7s have their tjmax at 105C).
Now, I remember the first Core Duo Macbook Pros, when this excessive heat which we now find "normal" was new, Apple released a silent revision to their internals in order to have it run cooler.
I suspect that with temperatures now hitting above 100C, there might be another outcry about this (as it should be... I want my laptops back).
Question is, after the nVidia fiasco which apparently never got properly solved, what are the odds of Apple releasing a revision to combat this?
I've heard that the only heat management updates recently only made the fans spin slower, to keep the computers quiet, ignoring the heat.
