Thermal Specifications
Notes:
1. The Frequency Optimized Server/Workstation Thermal Profile is representative of a volumetrically
unconstrained platform. Please refer to Table 7-2 for discrete points that constitute the thermal profile.
2. Implementation of the Frequency Optimized Server/Workstation Processor Thermal Profile should result in
virtually no TCC activation. Furthermore, utilization of thermal solutions that do not meet the thermal
profile will result in increased probability of TCC activation and may incur measurable performance loss.
3. Refer to the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500/5600 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for system
and environmental implementation details.
