The described behavior with CPU thermal throtteling was confirmed by Lenovo. The limits are higher as in Windows "DPTF" works by driver support and enables the "desk mode". In Linux the "desk mode" is never reached due to the lack of sensor information and the system operates in the "lap mode" which has much lower trip temp.

But as T480s, many other models e.g. X1C6 are affected too.
