Paul: Is this feature already known or just speculated upon? This has (IIRC) been stated several times at various CCs and analyst meetings. Kinda makes you wonder why Intel had the right idea first - doesn't it? IMHO it would be better to simply do a "safe stop" of some kind, instead of clock throttling. If the die temperature really reaches the critical limit, the user needs to be aware of this - not just have a system that operates more slowly. But, clearly, an on-die thermistor is a great asset. -fyo
