    Yes it probably does reach upwards of 5000°K (>8500°F). The sun is around 5700°K. The temperature isn't really important, same as rusting steel reaches which temperatures of 5000+ degrees. The number that would really matter is BTU, which in either case is infinitesimally small, hence the oceans aren't boiling and nails don't cause houses to burst into flames.

    Here's some more info on the effect of sonoluminescence from shrimp:
