Exactly.
But what he might be thinking about is Thermal Throttling, which I keep seeing
people attribute
to overheating….
Overheating is not thermal throttling, it’s the OS and CPU protecting
themselves from overheating.
Usually because the manufacturer didn’t add enough cooling to keep the system
cool enough with a continuous load. (Which to be honest, almost no laptop
designers do, because they assuming you are going to be having a spiky load
instead…
