Aye, that be the case.
It was initially just implemented in mobile chips .... who buys a bleeding edge 1Ghz chip for their high end desktop & wants it to throttle back, right? But then, the realised that less people would claim for their chips "lifetime warranty" if they had some sort of self protection built in
AMD is yet to catch on ... Athlons just melt & eventually burst into flame.
Shot Down .... In a blaze of glory!

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.
