In a system environment, the processor temperature is a function of both system and component thermal characteristics. Temperatures exceeding the maximum operating limit of a component may result in irreversible changes in the operating characteristics of this component. Operation outside the functional temperature range can degrade system performance, cause logic errors, or cause component and/or system damage. Within this temperature range, a component is expected to meet its specified performance. The objective of thermal management is to ensure that the temperatures of all components in a system are maintained within their functional temperature range.
