Intel Quad-Core Xeon - Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor X5300 Series Thermal Profiles; Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor X5300 Series Thermal Specifications

Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet 91
Thermal Specifications
Notes:
1. These values are specified at V
CC_MAX
for all processor frequencies. Systems must be designed to ensure
the processor is not to be subjected to any static V
CC
and I
CC
combination wherein V
CC
exceeds V
CC_MAX
at
specified I
CC
. Please refer to the loadline specifications in Section 2.
2. Maximum Power is the highest power the processor will dissipate, regardless of its VID. Maximum Power is
measured at maximum T
CASE
.
3. Thermal Design Power (TDP) should be used for processor thermal solution design targets. TDP is not the
maximum power that the processor can dissipate. TDP is measured at maximum T
CASE
.
4. These specifications are based on silicon characterization.
5. Power specifications are defined at all VIDs found in Table 2-3. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
X5300 Series may be shipped under multiple VIDs for each frequency.
6. FMB, or Flexible Motherboard, guidelines provide a design target for meeting all planned processor
frequency requirements.
Notes:
1. Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series Thermal Profile A is representative of a volumetrically
unconstrained platform. Please refer to Table 6-4 for discrete points that constitute the thermal profile.
2. Implementation of Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series Thermal Profile A should result in
virtually no TCC activation. Furthermore, utilization of thermal solutions that do not meet processor Quad-
Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series Thermal Profile A will result in increased probability of TCC
activation and may incur measurable performance loss. (See Section 6.3 for details on TCC activation).
3. Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series Thermal Profile B is representative of a volumetrically
constrained platform. Please refer to Table 6-5 for discrete points that constitute the thermal profile.
4. Implementation of Thermal Profile B will result in increased probability of TCC activation and measurable
performance loss. Furthermore, utilization of thermal solutions that do not meet Thermal Profile B do not
meet the processor's thermal specifications and may result in permanent damage to the processor.
5. Refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for
system and environmental implementation details.
