Thermal Specifications
Notes:
1. The Thermal Profile is representative of a volumetrically constrained platform. Please refer to Table 7-10 for
discrete points that constitute the thermal profile.
2. Implementation of the Thermal Profile should result in virtually no TCC activation. 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.
