     coretemp — device driver for Intel Core on-die digital thermal sensor

SYNOPSIS

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.
