TDP (Thermal Design Power)

The higher the TDP the more cooling (and power) will be required.

"Thermal Design Power is a measurement of the maximum amount of heat a CPU or GPU generates under an intense workload "(1). 

"TDP is the maximum power that a subsystem is allowed to draw for a 'real world' application, and also the maximum amount of heat generated by the component that the cooling system can dissipate under real-world conditions." (2). 

"Intel bases its TDP ratings on when the processor runs at the base frequency rather than boost. So, an Intel processor frequently runs hotter than what Intel says you can expect on the box." (1)
