![]() ![]() Typically, a combination of these methods is used. conduction coupled with forced convection) such as a heat sink with a fan, or any of the two passive cooling methods: thermal radiation or conduction. A cooling system can do this using an active cooling method (e.g. Most modern processors will cause a therm-trip only upon a catastrophic cooling failure, such as a no longer operational fan or an incorrectly mounted heat sink.įor example, a laptop's CPU cooling system may be designed for a 20 W TDP, which means that it can dissipate up to 20 watts of heat without exceeding the maximum junction temperature for the laptop's CPU. In this case, CPUs either cause a system failure (a "therm-trip") or throttle their speed down. The TDP of a CPU has been underestimated in some cases, leading to certain real applications (typically strenuous, such as video encoding or games) causing the CPU to exceed its specified TDP and resulting in overloading the computer's cooling system. Barcelona and later server processors have the two power figures. ![]() AMD said that the ACP and TDP values of the processors will both be stated and do not replace one another. Intel's thermal design power (TDP), used for Pentium and Core 2 processors, measures the energy consumption under high workload it is numerically somewhat higher than the "average" ACP rating of the same processor.Īccording to AMD the ACP rating includes the power consumption when running several benchmarks, including TPC-C, SPECcpu2006, SPECjbb2005 and STREAM Benchmark (memory bandwidth), which AMD said is an appropriate method of power consumption measurement for data centers and server-intensive workload environments. The average CPU power (ACP) is the power consumption of central processing units, especially server processors, under "average" daily usage as defined by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for use in its line of processors based on the K10 microarchitecture ( Opteron 83 series processors).
