Curiously, I can't find any explicit reference that states this threshold for SQL Server 2012.
If you follow the link in the explanation, you'll see (right at the top) the text: "Applies to: SQL Server 2008 R2 and higher versions". I think this is a standard disclaimer that MS puts in to save them the effort of researching whether or not articles apply to older versions.
