AP-586 Pentium® II Processor Thermal Design Guidelines

The Pentium® II processor is the newest addition to the P6 family of microprocessors. Intel's Pentium® Pro processor generated sufficient heat to require an advanced cooling solution in order to meet the case temperature specification in system designs. The Pentium II microprocessor continues the demands on cooling solutions. The additional temperature specification requirements of the Pentium II processor require modified and/or new thermal management techniques.. Depending on the type of system and the chassis characteristics, new designs may be required to provide adequate cooling for the processor. The goal of this document is to provide an understanding of the thermal characteristics of the Pentium II processor and discuss guidelines for meeting the thermal requirements imposed on single and multiple processor systems.
