And another member just did a test to see where the cpu would actually throttle, and which program is correct. For now this test only applies to the e2xxx and e4xxx series that are the M0 stepping.

There is no program that 'reads' Tjmax, b/c there is no Tjmax to be read. It is all an assumption made by the programmer. That's why different programs have different values for Tjmax.
