Absolutely not. Stop putting words in my mouth.

While PowerTune HAS been proven to throttle in some games (Metro 2033 and Shogun 2 in some cases) I prefer to have a technology that swings both ways. If an application demands too much, clocks can be lowered but if a game doesn't tickle the limits of TDP, the extra headroom can be automatically used for higher clock speeds. Intel already does this with their Turbo Boost and (IMO) it works quite well.
