I am able to confirm that throttled works on the X390.
Prior to using throttled sometimes my PC would inexplicably (at the time, now I learn it is due to "lap detection"??) throttle itself, and from observing temps I would see it would adjust clocks as needed to never exceed 50C (probably "lap safe" temperature).
Since I use the Thinkpad Ultra Dock, the airflow is already quite bad, so at 50C throttle it is borderline unusable.
Thanks to throttled I can bypass it and keep using my laptop :)
