Sorry, wrong.  CPU throttling as a means to reduce power consumption on laptops 
has been around quite a while, and the technology is making its way into

So this is not at all far-fetched, although I've never had personal experience 
of any equipment behaving as close-to-the-edge as Cesar relates.
