Should I Be Worried?

I have a i9-13900k chip...However, I do not game. I thought the chip sucked when Aida64 pushed the cores to 100*C on stock settings. What the heck did I get an unlocked chip for if I get 100* without even pushing it? Now they are failing for gamers? 

 

What is Intel doing about these chips?
