It's not about the CPU package getting too hot, it's about a specific set of transistors getting too hot. I think I read they're between the processing units and the cache. The size of these transistors combined is probably around a couple mm square. Unless you etch the package back you can't measure them precisely. And if you etch that you can't dissipate their temperature so you can rub CPU at maximum load.
