A 105w processor at 1.4 v would draw 75 amps, not uncommon to draw much more than that in a desktop CPU.
You will never draw a full 105w under normal circumstances. PC would not last long under full bore conditions. My 5950x never gets close to it's burn a hole in the motherboard "I" draw. Better have a 2000w power supply....

What do you consider "normal circumstances"? Even if we limit ourselves to consumer parts, you can easily get modern, high end (or even mid range) CPUs to draw 105+ W doing things like rendering, encoding, etc., and they can run like that indefinitely. So long as you have a good motherboard and cooling, you aren't going to burn anything out.

13900K draws 295w in Blender at stock settings no OC. Also not sure why you would need a 2000W PSU to power 105w.

I was being sarcastic. You will never draw full current unless you are doing weird things to the BIOS. Storage drives and peripherals are nominal. I bought a 1200w PSU a few years back. People thought I was crazy. Better be a quality supply with room to move. 1200w doesn't sound so crazy today does it? A quality supply could last 10 years. That is where some people miss the boat. First and foremost you start with good power distribution, the heart of a PC. Then build your killer machine.

I have had a 12900k which would happily eat 300w continously. The z690 aorus master that I used had 22 x 105A power stages. Not that that CPU can handle 2200 amps, but the motherboard power delivery is designed to that spec. 75amps is nothing at all.

At this moment, I have a 7950x that's been burning 200+ w continously for the last ~36 hours.

I have never had a CPU failure, and I would like to say that's from keeping things cool with water, but even with water that 12900k was constantly bumping 100c thermal limits.
 
I'd challenge you to find a modern enthusiast grade motherboard that can't supply at least 1000 amps to the cpu socket.

If we use the i7-4770HQ as an example it has a vcore of 0.975 volts and a resistance of 15 ohms.
0.975 volts / 15 ohms = 0.065 amps

i7-4770HQ is a bit dated but it was one of the only processors I could find with resistance values.
Having said that I have a hard time believing modern motherboards are over-engineered to supply 15,384 times (1000amps/0.065amps) the amps for cpu only 10 years old.

15 ohms would be the resistance when powered off (assuming the numbers in the source you provided are correct). The load it presents will be completely different when operating. If that resistance was applicable while running, it would only draw 63mW ([0.975^2]/15), which is obviously not correct.

The 4700HQ is a 47W part. Asuming 0.975V is the operating voltage and treating TDP as approximately equal to power draw at full load, that means it would draw up to ~48A (47/0.975). And that's a 10 year old, quad core laptop chip.

..or you could just look at the spec sheet of a few motherboards to see what I'm talking about. I think you'll commonly find a dozen or two power phases fed 70+ amps each.

It is not so much about how much draw the CPU has on a continual basis, it's about having a huge well of power to deal with fast transient spikes to combat vdroop which if bad enough results in system faults.
