What's the TDP threshold?

The temperature threshold is about 80C I think.
TDP does not determine the threshold, the power output of actual consumption and the efficiency of the cooling solution determines load operating temperature and TM1 and TM2 are programmed to throttle if that temperature threshold is exceeded.

Not sure about the core iX series, but 105 deg was Tjmax for some of the prior products.
