Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process by which a processor slows down to conserve power and cool off in order to protect the processor is officially called ____
A
Underclocking
B
Throttling
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Throttling is a mechanism in Intel® Processors to reduce the clock speed when the temperature in the system reaches above TJ Max (or Tcase). This is to protect the processor and to indicate to the user that there is an overheating issue in their system that they need to monitor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thermal throttling is designed to cool and protect CPU and GPU chips in response to heavy workloads, but there’s one caveat: Although thermal throttling protects the hardware, it can cause game lag. As PCMag.com notes, “Thermal throttling helps cool the chip when it gets too hot by lowering the speed.”

Detailed explanation-3: -“Power Throttling” limit the CPU speed to conserve battery life. It usually happens when you on battery and your battery is low. “Thermal Throttling” limit the CPU speed to lower the CPU temperature, in order to prevent overheating and protect the CPU.
