Laser Temp

I was chatting with a friend about laser cutting. Googled for a while - didn’t find the answer. I am wondering if anyone can give approximate temperature of a 40-45 Watt laser at it’s focal point - I am sure there is tons of math and complicated answers (very fair, and expected). But I am looking for a general answer (if one exists). Thanks!
