TDP indicate the heat generated by a CPU running with a worst case SSE commercial application for a period of time. CPU is designed for a specific TDP to ensure heat generated are dissipated. CPU would throttle or shutdown if it operate above TDP. TDP is defined with a base frequency (p1 frequency)
Actual workload having different profile may operate the CPU below TDP. This gives room for increasing the base frequency when this workload runs and this is the basis for turbo.
