PID: 43375 Rev 3.46 - September 2010 AMD Family 10h Desktop Processor
Power and Thermal Data Sheet
9Overview
1.1.3 Thermal and Power Table Section Overview
The thermal and power specification tables contain the thermal and power requirements for each
OPN. This includes the information necessary for thermal management (for example, heat sink
requirements, ambient temperature assumptions) and power delivery (for example, voltage and
current, and power dissipation for each P-state).
The thermal and power specification tables are organized into subsections that correspond to
Subsection Ordering Part Numbers (SOPNs). SOPNs for the thermal and power tables have the
brand, power limit, and part definition characters defined. They are of the form AB mmmmrrpnc GH.
Each chapter provides a guide table that maps the SOPNs in the thermal and power tables within that
chapter to the appropriate subsection number and page number. Within each subsection the OPNs are
sorted by model number, socket compatibility, voltage, temperature, and cache size, respectively.
1.1.4 Power Supply Specification Chapter Overview
The power supply specification chapter contains the operating conditions and requirements for all
voltage planes required by the processor. Power supply requirements are organized into subsections
that correspond to socket infrastructure. The socket infrastructure of a particular OPN can be found in
Table 5 on page 14.
1.2 Conventions
Following are conventions used with numbers.
• Binary numbers. Binary numbers are indicated by appending a “b” at the end, for example: 0110b.
• Decimal numbers. Unless specified otherwise, all numbers are decimal.
• Hexadecimal numbers. Hexadecimal numbers are indicated by appending an “h” to the end, for
example: 45F8h.
• Underscores in numbers. Underscores are used to break up numbers to make them more readable,
for example: 0110_1100b. They do not imply any operation.
