DESCRIPTION

       The  coretemp  driver  provides  support  for the on-die digital thermal sensor present in Intel Core and
       newer CPUs.

       The coretemp driver reports each core's temperature through  a  sysctl  node  in  the  corresponding  CPU
       device's sysctl tree, named dev.cpu.%d.temperature.
