But you're using Afterburner for temperatures right? If there's only 1 CPU temperature value it's not the actual core temperature reported by the CPU. The latter being what the thermal throttling mechanisms follow. What you're reading is typically an averaged out value, but temperature difference between cores can be big especially when the thermal paste is not in good condition.
Being a laptop doesnt help either, not all behaviours follow factory settings.
Alao note that most GPUs boost a lot less at 90C than say, 80C. It's not thermal throttling since it's still above base clock, but you lose a lot of performance nonetheless.
