Application Power Guidelines The Application Power Guidelines (APG) numbers listed in this document are intended to reflect the nominal use conditions. Several factors such as temperature, platform configuration and other variables can influence the numbers. Specific information about the platform, benchmarks, temperatures, etc. are provided in this document to enable a repeatable power measurement.
Application Power Guidelines for the Intel® CoreTM i3 Processor -3120ME Figure 1 indicates the Application Power Guidelines for various embedded applications for the Intel® CoreTM i3 Processor -3120ME with a 35W TDP specification. Figure 1.
Application Power Guidelines for the Intel® CoreTM i3 Processor -3217UE Figure 2 indicates the Application Power Guidelines for various embedded applications for the Intel® CoreTM i3 Processor -3217UE with a 17W Nominal TDP specification. Figure 2.
Application Power Guidelines for the Intel® CoreTM i3 Processor -3217UE Figure 3 indicates the Application Power Guidelines for various embedded applications for the Intel® CoreTM i3 Processor -3217UE with a 14W cTDP-Down specification. Figure 3.
APG Configuration: The results presented in this document are collected on a single sample. The data has not been post processed to account for part to part variation. Platform: Intel® Core™ i3 Processor -3120ME/3217UE with Intel® Series 7 QM77 Express Chipset BIOS Rev: ACRVMBY1.86C.0082.P01 was used for Intel® Core™ i3 Processor 3217UE at Nominal BIOS Rev: ACRVMBY1.86C.0089.
Disclaimer Values presented represent a typical or average processor SKU and do not guarantee a customer will achieve these exact values for each silicon sample. These values are not intended to replace TDP, nor to be used for reliability assessments. Individual test results may vary.
