Abstract: The quark matter phase diagram is believed to contain two distinguished points, lying on the boundary of the Quark-Gluon Plasma phase: a critical point and a triple point. In the holographic ["AdS/QCD"] approach, the region of relatively low chemical potentials around the phase transition near the critical point may be described using generalizations of the Hawking-Page transition. We propose that the emph{other} QGP phase line, beginning at the triple point and rising towards the region of extremely high temperatures and chemical potentials, is described instead by a non-perturbative string effect discovered by Seiberg and Witten. Using an assumed position for the critical point, we are able to use this proposal to obtain a holographic lower bound on the temperature of the triple point. Combined with Shuryak's upper bound on this temperature, this leads to a rough estimate of the location of the triple point, at a temperature of around 70 MeV, and a chemical potential of about 1100 MeV.
