Can anyone in the HN crowd shed light on the Intel 'S' suffixed chips? They're designed to a smaller thermal envelope, but I cannot find any description of how this works. Do they draw as much power as a non-suffixed chip until they start to heat up, and then limit themselves - or are they 'clocked down' for their entire range?

I've been trying to work out what spec I can power off a PicoPSU and this becomes important when the TDP is all I have to go on for power consumption figures.
