Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations
NOTES:
1.
The TDP specification should be used to design the processor thermal solution. The TDP is 
not the maximum theoretical power the processor can generate. 
2.
Not 100% tested. These power specifications are determined by characterization of the 
processor currents at higher temperatures and extrapolating the values for the 
temperature indicated.
3.
The Intel Thermal Monitor automatic mode must be enabled for the processor to operate 
within specifications.
4.
V
CC
 is determined by processor VID[6:0].
5.
Silicon projection.
The processor incorporates 3 methods of monitoring die temperature: Digital Thermal 
Sensor, Intel Thermal Monitor, and the Thermal Diode. The Intel Thermal Monitor 
(detailed in Section 
) must be used to determine when the maximum 
specified processor junction temperature has been reached.
7.1.1
Thermal Diode
The processor incorporates an on-die PNP transistor whose base emitter junction is 
used as a thermal “diode”, with its collector shorted to ground. The thermal diode can 
be read by an off-die analog/digital converter (a thermal sensor) located on the 
motherboard or a stand-alone measurement kit. The thermal diode may be used to 
monitor the die temperature of the processor for thermal management or 
instrumentation purposes but is not a reliable indication that the maximum operating 
temperature of the processor has been reached. When using the thermal diode, a 
temperature offset value must be read from a processor MSR and applied. See 
 for more details. See Section 
 for thermal diode usage 
recommendation when the PROCHOT# signal is not asserted.
The reading of the external thermal sensor (on the motherboard) connected to the 
processor thermal diode signals will not necessarily reflect the temperature of the 
hottest location on the die. This is due to inaccuracies in the external thermal sensor, 
on-die temperature gradients between the location of the thermal diode and the hottest
