not much so long as the notebook has decent cooling (my 1060 notebook has 2 big fans and 3 radiators) ie isnt stupidly thin for no reason
I have an alienware 13 R3 which is a 13 inch laptop with 7700HQ and GTX 1060. It's technically the smallest laptop screen with a GTX 1060, but it's actually not the smallest in term of volume. It also weighs a lot. To get to your question, the laptop GPU runs with full turbo boost enabled. It has never throttled and I have played tons of games on it sometimes hours on end. Max temp I have seen is on a stress test and I got 80c. Which is only worse than a reference GTX 1060 6GB by 4C. The problem was actually on the CPU side for me. It just ran hot outside the box. hitting 90c at full load. Thermal paste replacement with Artic Silver 5 made things much worse. I opened it up to see what's going and noticed that the thermal paste was too thick for the low pressure heat sink to spread using the pea method. So I used MX4 and it seems to be on par with the GPU now. In short, Nvidia just did some kind of voodoo for their pascal series.
