I have been messing with sensors to be able to see what my CPU temps are.
Then I found this. 
Temperature monitoring on current AMD processors differs from that on Intel CPUs in two ways:
there is only one temperature sensor per CPU (not one per core), meaning there are no seperate temperature measurement values available for each CPU core.
the temperature sensor does not read real physical CPU temperature, so that there can be a rather large temperature difference between the measured and real CPU temperature -- especially if the CPU is idle.
I guess it’s the same with Intel.
