TDP stands for “Thermal Design Power” and it is the maximum amount of heat generated by the processor. From that time and up until now, the computer power consumption and thermal dissipation have grown exponentially, as well as their performance.įrom the very first Pentium processors that were declared at 7W TDP, and all the way down to the modern day AMD FX 9590 processor that is rated at 220W, the cooling also had its own evolutionary path. The early x86 computers did not have active cooling because not much heat was generated, right until the introduction of the first 486 models. The option of controlling the fan speed and the satisfaction of silent computing were not always present when it comes to personal computers.
