As per your document, Tjunction is also driving THERMTRIP, which brings us back to the original statement:
What I referred to as Tcc (that drives the monitor and control circuity) & Tjunction are the one and the same sensor.
Tjunction is what I called for to be user visible.
What's the problem again? Are you arguing that we should not be interested in the peak die temperature? Sorry, just don't know where you're going with all of this, other than arguing semantics over the naming of various sensors. |
Lol, sorry to laugh Cathar but where are you going with this? First you say the THERMTRIP is wildly inaccurate then you want Intel to make it accessible.
PROCHOT is totally independant of THERMTRIP. From my understanding of your earlier argument you wanted Intel to make the reading at the hotspot available. This would be the PROCHOT sensor reading near the ALU. My argument is that it is independently callibrated per cpu and takes readings in milliseconds near a wildly fluctuating heatsource (ALU) making it unsuitable for our purposes.
