Datasheet:
This driver permits reading the DTS (Digital Temperature Sensor) embedded
inside Intel CPUs. This driver can read both the per-core and per-package
-temperature using the appropriate sensors. The per-package sensor is new;
-as of now, it is present only in the SandyBridge platform. The driver will
-show the temperature of all cores inside a package under a single device
+temperature using the appropriate sensors. The per-package sensor is
+available on Sandy Bridge and all newer processors. The driver will show
+the temperature of all cores inside a package under a single device
directory inside hwmon.
Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
where Y is the package number.
================= ========================================================
-On CPU models which support it, TjMax is read from a model-specific register.
-On other models, it is set to an arbitrary value based on weak heuristics.
-If these heuristics don't work for you, you can pass the correct TjMax value
-as a module parameter (tjmax).
+On modern CPUs (Nehalem and newer), TjMax is read from the
+MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET register. On older models without this MSR,
+TjMax is determined using lookup tables or heuristics. If these don't work
+for your CPU, you can pass the correct TjMax value as a module parameter
+(tjmax).
