Bing! Nailed it.
x86 CPU's (And thus by extension, APU's) have had Thermal protection mechanisms for years, thus it will be highly likely that the same functionality is going to be in the Playstation 4 too as it's implemented at the silicon level on pretty much every single x86 chip today.
However, it should only be in extreme cases that it should happen for any machine. For example: Fans fail or 70'C ambient temperatures due to being stuck in a cupboard and having the console full of dust. (AMD generally recommends 61'C as the thermal limit for it's CPU's as stated in it's whitepapers, although will function fine with higher than that.)
