6.2.1.3 Pressure Drop
Figure 6-4 illustrates the relationship of pressure drop to volumetric air flow for the
reference thermal solution. Table 6-7 provides the expected value for the pressure drop
at the recommended airflow through a reference heatsink. This ensu
res cooling
requirements for the system components downstream from the processor are met
while ensuring the processor thermal targets are met.

6.2.2 Thermal Solution Performance Characterization
The following equations can be used to calculate the thermal resistances. Refer to
Tabl e 6-3 for definitions.
