Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) A specification representing the maximum amount of heat a CPU is expected to generate under typical workloads, used to guide cooling system design
A
Correct Answer
A specification representing the maximum amount of heat a CPU is expected to generate under typical workloads, used to guide cooling system design
Explanation
TDP gives system designers a target for how much heat the cooling solution (heat sink, fans) must dissipate to keep the CPU within safe operating temperatures under normal conditions.
