correct!

If not, how is it different to CoreTemp reporting based on an assumed Tjunction value?
the point here is, you simply don't know if the assumed tjunction value which is used in temperature calculation is correct or not.

e.g. if you have a dts (Delta to Tjunction) of 30c you get a core temperature displayed in coretemp of either 55c or 70c depending on tjunction value assumed by coretemp for your processor. is it now 55c or 70c your cores are running at?
on the other hand, if you are looking at plain dts (Delta to Tjunction) you can see you are still 30c away from throttling and this holds true regardless what tjunction value was selected by coretemp as no calculations and assumptions are involved.

btw. this is the same for all other programs using dts to read core temperatures. afik, coretemp is the only program giving you the ability to display dts (Delta to Tjunction) directly and thus is the preferred choice!
