Thermal/Mechanical Design Guide
Compliance to Profile A ensures that no measurable performance loss will occur due to
TCC activation. It is expected that TCC would only be activated for very brief periods of
time when running a worst-case real world application in a worst-case thermal
condition. A worst-case real world application is a commercially available, useful
application which dissipates power above TDP for a thermally relevant timeframe. One
example of a worst-case thermal condition is when the processor local ambient
temperature is above the y-axis intercept for Profile A.
