Thermal Specifications
82
Notes:
1.
These values are specified at V
CC_MAX
 for all processor frequencies. Systems must be designed to ensure 
the processor is not to be subjected to any static VCC and ICC combination wherein VCC exceeds V
CC_MAX
 
at specified ICC. Please refer to the loadline specifications in 
2.
Thermal Design Power (TDP) should be used for processor thermal solution design targets. TDP is not the 
maximum power that the processor can dissipate. TDP is measured at maximum T
CASE
.
3.
These specifications are based pre-silicon estimates and simulations. These specifications will be updated 
with characterized data from silicon measurements in a future release of this document.
4.
Power specifications are defined at all VIDs found in 
. The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 
L5238 may be shipped under multiple VIDs for each frequency.
5.
FMB, or Flexible Motherboard, guidelines provide a design target for meeting all planned processor 
frequency requirements.
Notes:
1.
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5238 Thermal Profile is representative of a volumetrically constrained 
platform. Please refer to 
 for discrete points that constitute the thermal profile.
2.
Implementation of the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor L5238 Thermal Profile should result in virtually 
no TCC activation. Furthermore, utilization of thermal solutions that do not meet the processor Thermal 
Profile will result in increased probability of TCC activation and may incur measurable performance loss. 
(See 
 for details on TCC activation).
3.
The Nominal Thermal Profile must be used for all normal operating conditions, or for products that do not 
require NEBS Level 3 compliance.
4.
The Short-Term Thermal Profile may only be used for short-term excursions to higher ambient operating 
temperatures, not to exceed 96 hours per instance, 360 hours per year, and a maximum of 15 instances 
per year, as compliant with NEBS Level 3.
5.
Utilization of a thermal solution that exceeds the Short-Term Thermal Profile, or which operates at the 
Short-Term Thermal Profile for a duration longer than the limits specified in Note 4 above, do not meet the 
processor thermal specifications and may result in permanent damage to the processor.
6.
Refer to the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5200 Series in Embedded Thermal/Mechanical Design 
Guidelines (TMDG) for system and environmental implementation details.
