The power simulation software is a utility designed to dissipate the thermal design power on an 
E8500 chipset NB component or XMB component when used in conjunction with the 64-bit Intel

® 

Xeon™ processor MP. The combination of the above mentioned processor and the higher 
bandwidth capability of the E8500 chipsets enable higher levels of system performance. To assess 
the thermal performance of the chipset thermal solution under “worst-case realistic application” 
conditions, Intel is developing a software utility that operates the chipset at near worst-case thermal 
power dissipation.

The power simulation software being developed should only be used to test thermal solutions at or 
near the thermal design power. 

 shows a decision flowchart for determining thermal 

solution needs. Real world applications may exceed the thermal design power limit for transient 
time periods. For power supply current requirements under these transient conditions, please refer 
to each component's datasheet for the ICC (Max Power Supply Current) specification. Contact 
your Intel field sales representative to order the power utility software and user's guide.
