It is important to not confuse ACP with TDP (Thermal Design Power), which indicates the processor power thermal dissipation and is used to choose the appropriate kind of cooler. ACP (Average Power Consumption) is a new metric AMD is using to indicate the real power consumption of their processors targeted to the server market.
