Elmer you are correct if the maximum were the time averaged current. The current is pulsing and the maximum is the instaneous peak current. This heat is not a problem. Current good heat sinks for PC chips have a thermal resistance of .7 degrees centigrade/watt or better. Thus a 21-25 degree centrigrade difference for the chip in question. A system may keep a specification of 40 degrees (104F).
