Totally understand what you are saying and the relationship you have shown are quite clear - the thing is Tcase max is not something adjustable - it is a fixed value for every single cpu. What I am saying is that whilst the actual value can vary from cpu to cpu the fixed value is pre-programmed into the individual cpu at testing in Singapore. So you cant have an increase in the Tcasemax that you describe in your second paragraph as a consequence of increased power dissipation.
