This is my guess based on the performance levels of some of the modern day engines as shown in the table below. I would expect a threshold level be passed with the TF35k engine.

Alloys' performance stops at like 1400 °C and additional performance is achieved mostly through cooling. Small blades offer little real estate to implement cooling and larger blades can host more cooling features hence better peak performance.

Snecma M88 achieves 1577 °C with air cooled, ceramic coated, single crystal turbine blades made from a new AM1 alloy (N-18 alloy in the final production engines),
So it is no surprise to consider matching this performance for the TF35k engine.
