Dear Mani: Your reading of the specs is correct as TDPmax is used in the table listing Mobile Pentium III 1 GHz as 34W. As to the not tested part, there is no way for Intel to find and test all publicly available software and find the maximum sustained (worst case) thermal power that is possible in a given section of code. So they take all the code and that they can find and test and try to generate the most thermal output. Then they add some margin to allow a little guard band for manufacturing variations and specify that. Both the mobile P3 and A4 use 2 significant digits (34W and 25W) while P3M uses three significant digits (20.5W) for the TDPmax specs. That may be that P3M does not have a guard band in its TDPmax spec, which is OK to me. Your quotation is for previous documents, not the datasheet you are currently reading Wanna_bmw. TDPmax is not TDPtyp as they redefined both terms in that document. The P3M datasheet was revised at about the same time as the Mobile P3 datasheet. Pete
