Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[Ol'Baditude]

Here's a nice write up from Gavin Steacy at Tom's Hardware about the IDF presentation and how these digital thermal sensors operate on the new 45nm processors. He even quoted the developer of RealTemp a couple of times.

I don't think I had my coffee yet that morning and was still a little upset by the lack of information actually released compared to the AnandTech pre-IDF story about full disclosure.

Yup! I just read that.

From THW:
According to the developer of RealTemp, “[Intel] did not release enough information for any software developer to write an accurate program so we’re right back to guessing and making assumptions. It’s easy to take a pen and circle some numbers but they didn’t test, prove or show anything.”

So angry webb. lol.

just to clarify then...

the TjMax for the Q6600 G0 is 100ºC instead of 95ºC then?

I'm back to using 100deg. My temps are not what they used to be, but tbh, idling at mid thirties instead of mid twenties when the room temperature is 22degC. is quite a bit more credible. That, and my distance to TJMax numbers are now 5 deg higher, so who's complaining? Not me.
