What does TDP means

    TDP represents the thermal design power, in watts, and refers to the power consumption under the maximum theoretical load. Under low load, the power consumption is less than TDP. TDP is the maximum power that should be achieved when designing the system. This ensures that the published specifications are followed under the maximum theoretical workload.

Is TDP equal to the power consumption of the processor?

    It is the power consumption under the maximum theoretical load.

What is the purpose of TDP?

   The purpose of defining TDP is to provide power targets for system designers / integrators to help correctly select cooling solutions.

How to judge the power requirements of the processor?

    By published TDP value. This is the steady-state design goal. Designing power output or cooling solution functions is a decision that system designers must make.

What is the maximum power consumption of the processor?

    Under a stable workload with release frequency, it is TDP. However, in core or some workload types (such as Intel) ® Advanced vector extensions (Intel ® During AVX), it can exceed the maximum TDP, but only for a limited time, or until the processor reaches the heat throttle temperature, or until the processor reaches the power supply limit.

Is the power consumption of the processor and the integrated graphics controller measured separately?

The calculation assumption of TDP is that the core and graphics are combined, but the core and graphics will also be reported separately.
