Thermal Management
The thermal solution provides both the component-level and the system-level thermal 
management. To allow for the optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel 
processor-based systems, the system/processor thermal solution should be designed 
so that the processor:
• Remains below the maximum junction temperature (T
j,Max
) specification at the 
maximum thermal design power (TDP).
• Conforms to system constraints, such as system acoustics, system skin-
temperatures, and exhaust-temperature requirements.
Caution:
Thermal specifications given in this chapter are on the component and package level 
and apply specifically to the processor. Operating the processor outside the specified 
limits may result in permanent damage to the processor and potentially other 
components in the system.
5.1
Thermal Considerations
The processor TDP is the maximum sustained power that should be used for design of 
the processor thermal solution. TDP represents an expected maximum sustained power 
from realistic applications. TDP may be exceeded for short periods of time or if running 
a “power virus” workload. 
The processor integrates multiple CPU and graphics cores on a single die. This may 
result in differences in the power distribution across the die and must be considered 
when designing the thermal solution. 
Intel Boost Technology allows processor cores and processor graphics cores to run 
faster than the baseline frequency. It is invoked opportunistically and automatically as 
long as the processor is conforming to its temperature, power delivery, and current 
specification limits. When Intel Turbo Boost Technology is enabled:
• Applications are expected to run closer to TDP more often as the processor will 
attempt to maximize performance by taking advantage of available TDP headroom 
in the processor package.
• The processor may exceed the TDP for short durations to utilize any available 
thermal capacitance within the thermal solution. The duration and time of such 
operation can be limited by platform runtime configurable registers within the 
processor. 
• Thermal solutions and platform cooling that are designed to less than thermal 
design guidance may experience thermal and performance issues since more 
applications will tend to run at or near the maximum power limit for significant 
periods of time.
