Hey Unclewebb, I take it that the sensors on these 32nm chips aren't very accurate? I noticed that my idle temperatures were showing 33°C/22°C respectively with an ambient temperature of 75°F (23.9°C).
Those new chips' cores fall asleep when doing nothing and cause of that they have such low temps. Try disabling C1E and other C states and you'll see.
IMO, they seem of same accuracy as 45nm counterparts.
