In this document, when a reference is made to "the datasheet", the reader should refer
to the Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor X6800 and Intel® Core™2 Duo Desktop
Processor E6000 and E4000 Sequences Datasheet and Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core
Processor E2000 Sequence Datasheet. For more information on a specific processor,
reference the specific processor datasheet.
Section 2.0 of this document discusses package thermal mechanical requirements to
design a thermal solution for the processor in the context of personal computer
applications.
Section 2.0 discusses the thermal solution considerations and metrology
recommendations to validate a processor thermal solution.
Section 4.0 addresses the benefits of the processor's integrated thermal management
logic for thermal design.
Section 5.0 gives information on the Intel reference thermal solution for the processor.
Section 6.0 discusses the implementation of Intel Quiet System Technology (Intel®
QST).
The physical dimensions and thermal specifications of the processor that are used in
this document are for illustration only. Refer to the datasheet for the product
dimensions, thermal power dissipation and maximum case temperature. In case of
conflict, the data in the datasheet supersedes any data in this document.
