Well, search engines really have gotten useless. But basically modern processors can go as powerful as the temperature headroom allows, called Dynamic Temperature Management. Bad cooling solution = less power from same CPU. Same for GPU, although realized in different ways. They don’t overheat.
Ok, admitelly, mainboard vendors can mess that up via default settings.
Ah yeah, for that definition of overheating you’re entirely right; I’m pretty sure all modern CPUs throttle before reaching dangerous temperatures. I was considering overheating as reaching the temperatures where it has to throttle, since that’s when you see the performance hit.
I’ve never seen a laptop that won’t overheat at full load and I’m not sure one even exists.
