Thermal Specifications running the most power-intensive applications. Refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for details on system thermal solution design, thermal profiles and environmental considerations. For the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series, Intel has developed two thermal profiles, either of which can be implemented. Both ensure adherence to Intel reliability requirements. Thermal Profile A (see Figure 6-2; Table 6-4) is representative of a volumetrically unconstrained thermal solution (that is, industry enabled 2U heatsink). In this scenario, it is expected that the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) would only be activated for very brief periods of time when running the most power intensive applications. Thermal Profile B (see Figure 6-2; Table 6-5) is indicative of a constrained thermal environment (that is, 1U form factor). Because of the reduced cooling capability represented by this thermal solution, the probability of TCC activation and performance loss is increased. Additionally, utilization of a thermal solution that does not meet Thermal Profile B will violate the thermal specifications and may result in permanent damage to the processor. Refer to the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Thermal/Mechanical Design Guidelines for details on system thermal solution design, thermal profiles and environmental considerations. The upper point of the thermal profile consists of the Thermal Design Power (TDP) and the associated TCASE value. It should be noted that the upper point associated with the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series Thermal Profile B (x = TDP and y = TCASE_MAX_B @ TDP) represents a thermal solution design point. In actuality the processor case temperature will not reach this value due to TCC activation (see Figure 6-2 for Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5300 Series). The lower point of the thermal profile consists of x = P_PROFILE_MIN and y = TCASE_MAX @ P_PROFILE_MIN. P_PROFILE_MIN is defined as the processor power at which TCASE, calculated from the thermal profile, is equal to 50°C. Analysis indicates that real applications are unlikely to cause the processor to consume maximum power dissipation for sustained time periods. Intel recommends that complete thermal solution designs target the Thermal Design Power (TDP), instead of the maximum processor power consumption. The Thermal Monitor feature is intended to help protect the processor in the event that an application exceeds the TDP recommendation for a sustained time period. For more details on this feature, refer to Section 6.2. To ensure maximum flexibility for future requirements, systems should be designed to the Flexible Motherboard (FMB) guidelines, even if a processor with lower power dissipation is currently planned. Thermal Monitor 1 and Thermal Monitor 2 feature must be enabled for the processor to remain within its specifications. Table 6-1. Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5300 Series Thermal Specifications Core Frequency Launch to FMB Thermal Design Power (W) 80 Minimum TCASE (°C) 5 Maximum TCASE (°C) See Figure 6-1; Table 6-2 Notes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Notes: 1. These values are specified at VCC_MAX for all processor frequencies. Systems must be designed to ensure the processor is not to be subjected to any static VCC and ICC combination wherein VCC exceeds VCC_MAX at specified ICC. 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 TCASE. 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 TCASE. 4. These specifications are based on initial silicon characterization. These specifications may be further updated as more characterization data becomes available. 5. Power specifications are defined at all VIDs found in Table 2-3. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5300 Series may be shipped under multiple VIDs for each frequency. 80 Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet
