Dusting off the memory cells, I believe the maximum 150C topside board temperature relates to the nominal glass transition temperature of FR4. References may include IPC TM-650 or NEMA. This temperature was established prior to the implementation of lead-free soldering and the use of laminates accommodating higher temperatures.
