News Intel preps for PCIe 6.0 inferno with PCIe cooling driver for Linux — mechanism reduces SSD bandwidth when the drive gets too hot

I still do not see the point of this. This seems like a roundabout solution for what should be an easy problem to solve. Why can't the device itself measure it's temperature and tell the CPU to slow down? Thermal management should be handled by the device itself not some PCIe driver.
