We briefly review some recent results related to thermodynamics of semiclassical black holes applied to their primordial formation. Issues on the existence of an influx of ambient particles onto the PBHs, which may help grow them, are addressed. We revisit the integrated flux from evaporated PBHs contributing to the present backgrounds and show that there probe mass scales which are otherwise poorly constrained. Finally the Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Holographic Principle are combined to show that if some form of the latter holds, strong upper bounds to the mass density of PBHs formed in the early universe may be obtained, especially for inflationary cosmological models. This method is completely independent from those based on the background fluxes and applies to potentially important epochs of PBH formation, resulting in quite strong constraints to omegapbh.
