It is strange for it to attributed to thermal throttling when there are no measurements taken and not even a simple correlative graph to demonstrate the relationship. I'm sure it definitely could be the case though, just a comment on the strange assumption the article seems to take. With no research what-so-ever I would have attributed the slow down to some kind of cache or buffer filling up.
