When I started using computers, I wasn't aware of any thermal protections in popular CPUs. Do you happen to know when they first appeared in Intel chips?

Pentium 2 and 3 had rudimentary protection. They would simply shutdown if they got too hot. Pentium 4 was the first one that would throttle down clock speeds.

Anything before that didn't have any protection as far as I'm aware.
