Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations
80
Datasheet
The case temperature is defined at the geometric top center of the processor. Analysis 
indicates that real applications are unlikely to cause the processor to consume 
maximum power dissipation for sustained time periods. Intel recommends that 
complete thermal solution designs target the Thermal Design Power (TDP) indicated in 
 instead of the maximum processor power consumption. The Thermal Monitor 
feature is designed to protect the processor in the unlikely event that an application 
exceeds the TDP recommendation for a sustained periods of time. For more details on 
In all cases the Thermal Monitor and 
Thermal Monitor 2 feature must be enabled for the processor to remain within 
specification.

NOTES:
1. Thermal Design Power (TDP) should be used for processor thermal solution design targets. The TDP is not the 
maximum power that the processor can dissipate.
2.
This table shows the maximum TDP for a given frequency range. Individual processors may have a lower TDP. 
Therefore, the maximum T
C
 will vary depending on the TDP of the individual processor. Refer to thermal profile 
figure and associated table for the allowed combinations of power and T
C
