Thermal throttling on modern silicon is fundamentally about managing thermal impedance, not just chasing lower idle temps. When the die hits TJ-max (usually 95-100°C on current mobile/APD dies), the SoC engages a closed-loop power limit that ramps down clocks in discrete steps—what actually kills gaming performance isn’t the peak temp itself, it’s the thermal slope and how aggressively the governor backs off. If your thermal pad
