At least with the mobile Intel processors I'm familiar with, things like Turbo Boost get disabled and the cores will be scaled down in order to bring temperatures down. I figured AMD would do something similar, but I have no experience with their mobile processors.

According to Wikipedia, AMD's Turbo Core feature depends on power draw, while Precision Boost and Extended Frequency Range features depends on power and temperature.

sure thing.

was refering to the figure of 68°C which i consider very low and hence asking the question "why would the thermal management enact any limits at that temperature?"
