Isn't that just parts of the cpu and at the OS level though? I don't think that happens for thermal reasons, more for "welp, nothing worth doing" reasons. Maybe I'm wrong, looking back at what I said I'm having a hard time explaining what my objection is, but I just don't know of a mechanism that's like "welp, I'm too hot, pausing for a few seconds, see you then!". Aren't there buses and caches and etc. that need constant attention whenever the machine is on? The cpu can't just tell everything to wait for a bit.
