Usage: Cited for what this datasheet specifies instead of a thermal rating: supply current in milliamps. Any watt figure for this part is a reader's multiplication of current by voltage, not something Intel printed. The page is a scan whose column alignment did not survive optical recognition — the maximum Icc values sit in a column the text layer drops — so only the typical currents in note 3 can be transcribed from the text, and the maxima would have to be read off the image.
