Thermal Design Power/Point - in layman's terms, "wattage." For example, the 2.53 GHz processor in the current MacBook Pros, the P8700, has a 25W TDP. Clarksfield is supposed to have a TDP of around 45W, making it a good candidate for the iMac (which usually uses 45W processors) but a poor fit for any notebook with the MBP's cooling system. The MBP (in all likelyhood) isn't designed to adequately cool 45W processors.
