Summary

Updated navigation links, refined explanation about Thermal Design Power (TDP), and rephrased processor selection recommendation

Security assessment

Changes relate to hardware selection for power efficiency and thermal management. No security implications are discussed - modifications focus on energy consumption and cooling requirements rather than security features or vulnerabilities.

-The [Thermal Design Power (TDP)](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000031072/processors/intel-core-processors.html) of a CPU specifies the amount of heat it is expected to dissipate under maximum or typical load conditions. Higher temperatures impact power efficiency negatively due to increased leakage currents and resistance. Look for CPUs with a low TDP, as these typically consume less power and generate less heat, which can help the overall power efficiency of a system. In addition, low TDP CPUs can help reduce the need for active cooling systems and the associated power consumption.
