Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5400 Series Thermal Specifications Core Frequency Launch to FMB Thermal Design Power (W) 120 Minimum TCASE (°C) 5 Maximum TCASE (°C) Notes See Figure 6-2; Table 6-4; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Table 6-5 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 2.13.1. 2. Thermal Design Power (TDP) should be used for the processor thermal solution design targets. TDP is not the maximum power that the processor can dissipate. TDP is measured at maximum TCASE. 3. These specifications are based on silicon characterization. 4. Power specifications are defined at all VIDs found in Table 2-3. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor X5400 Series may be shipped under multiple VIDs for each frequency. 5.

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 ICC. Please refer to the loadline specifications in
Section 2.13.1
.
2.
Thermal Design Power (TDP) should be used for the processor thermal solution design targets. TDP is not
the maximum power that the processor can dissipate. TDP is measured at maximum T
CASE
.
3.
These specifications are based on silicon characterization.
4.
Power specifications are defined at all VIDs found in
Table 2-3
. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor
X5400 Series may be shipped under multiple VIDs for each frequency.

Thermal Profile A should result in
virtually no TCC activation. Furthermore, utilization of thermal solutions that do not meet Thermal Profile A
will result in increased probability of TCC activation and may incur measurable performance loss. (See
Section 6.2
