The thermal design power , sometimes called thermal design point, is the maximum amount of heat generated by a computer chip or component that the cooling system in a computer is designed to dissipate under any workload.

Some sources state that the peak power rating for a microprocessor is usually 1.5 times the TDP rating.

Intel has introduced a new metric called scenario design power for some Ivy Bridge Y-series processors.
