Yeah, it uses the following flags:

Tier3InvocationThreshold = 200,
Tier3MinInvocationThreshold = 100,
Tier3CompileThreshold = 2000

The predicate that determines when to compile looks like that:
p(i,b) = (i > Tier3InvocationThreshold) ||
(i > Tier3MinInvocationThreshold && i + b > Tier3CompileThreshold),
where i - is the number of invocations of the method, b - number of 
backedges taken.
