Officially, 25lbs (11kgs)
Unofficially, I've probably applied up to 25kgs of force on one.
If it's the organic packaging (green/brown) you're reasonably safe putting a lot of pressure onto an AXP core as long as that pressure is "flat" (ie. not pushing on an edge or corner).
With the older ceramic packaged Athlon T'Bird, I wouldn't put much more than 15kgs of pressure on one as the packaging can snap.
