The method AMD is using to determine TDP is unknown:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...docs/33954.pdf, page 10TDP. Thermal Design Power. The thermal design power is the maximum power a processor can
draw for a thermally significant period while running commercially useful software. The
constraining conditions for TDP are specified in the notes in the thermal and power tables.
In order to know their method we need to know the following two variables:
1) thermally significant period
2) commercially useful software
