In my limited experience there is much more control over AMD CPUs, but it could have more to do with ASROCK bios options. It took me a while to learn about all the controls that were there and it was a bit of a double edged sword that I need to learn them at all (while building a very small computer). You can control the throttling at multiple temperatures if you want, but I opted for just throttling at a much higher temperature (80C or 85C).
