The two cores can be different temperatures. The physical id 0 value is=20 the package temperature, which will typically just be the highest of the=20 core temperatures. --=20 Matthew Garrett | mjg59@srcf.ucam.org _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
