Thermal Specifications and
Design Considerations
The processor requires a thermal solution to maintain temperatures within operating
limits. A complete thermal solution includes both component and system level thermal
management features.
The system/processor thermal solution should be designed such that the processor
remains within the minimum and maximum junction temperature (TJ) specifications at
the corresponding thermal design power (TDP) value listed in Table 14 through Table
16. Thermal solutions not designed to provide this level of thermal capability may
affect the long-term reliability of the processor and system.
Attempts to operate the processor outside these operating limits may result in
permanent damage to the processor and potentially other components in the system.

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.
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.
As measured by the activation of the on-die Intel Thermal Monitor. The Intel Thermal
Monitor’s automatic mode is used to indicate that the maximum TJ has been reached.
Refer to Section Error! Reference source not found. for more details.
The Intel Thermal Monitor automatic mode must be enabled for the processor to
operate within specifications.
