It's not about throttling. What will happen is that the CPU won't automatically clock up dynamically as much if you have worse cooling.

They behave like GPUs more and more with regards to clocks.

That's the same thing. Intel calls their stuff a dynamic boost so that some of their measurements like TDW are for lower clocks. Both CPUs end up scaling their clocks to a wide range.

I think it's the other way around? CPUs had "boost" before GPUs.
