Jet Engine Temperatures

Does anybody know the maximum temperatures inside modern jet engines?

I mean max temperatures inside the combustion chamber of the engine, not the EGT that pilots can read from their instruments as the EGT is already a somewhat cooler temperature further to the end of the engine.

I have read about temperatures exceeding the range of 1.300 K, as well as temperatures as high as 2.000 K with new modern cooling technics to cool the walls of the combustion chamber.
Are those possible numbers?

Thanks.
