LEARN THE LINGO

Thermal throttling

A device reducing operating performance to manage heat, which can affect a game's sustained behavior.

The plain-English version

A device reducing operating performance to manage heat, which can affect a game's sustained behavior.

Why it matters

A short test on a cool phone may overstate the performance available during a longer play session.

Let’s make it click

An action scene initially meets its target, but sustained effects increase heat and later frames take longer.

Vibe Bro’s heads-up

Choosing settings from a brief peak benchmark can produce a game that becomes unstable or uncomfortable during real play.

Supported: Heat can constrain sustained device performance; the cool-start comparison is a plausible example rather than a benchmark result.
