Thermal Power: 65W ???

Hi All, I apologies for all the questions i have been posting about memory and cpu's, but i am just starting to messs with overclocking, so i have a few questions about stuff like that.


Anyways, for this question, i am wondering what "Thermal Power" stands for on a CPU?

Like when a CPU says "Thermal Power: 65W" under the specifications...


I was always under the impression that it is how much power the cpu takes out of the power supply, but after seeing the word "Thermal" makes me wonder...

So, if anyone could help me out and give me an idea of what that means, that would be great!


Thanks again!!!
