Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

Core0 and core1 on my Quad track each other exactly from idle to full load just like any other dual core I've had. Even the cores in my E8400 track exactly until down low when they both get stuck at slightly different temperatures.

Core2 and core3 don't start tracking each other exactly until the high 70C range and their idle behavior is different as well. If you ever graph two cores the graphs are pretty much identical from idle to full load and back again but not these two cores and they don't match up with core0 and core1 at all.

We need more Quad users to step forward with data including the new 45nm Quads. After seeing this issue it's starting to make sense why Intel doesn't want users using DTS data to figure out core temperatures. Too many anomalies and variables to consider. Writing the software is easy. Trying to write documentation to explain what seems to be going on is going to be impossible.

I don't think this 5C issue effects all users but I know that something is wrong with my Quad as well as yours. Testing is going well.
