I just updated from 2.6.24 to 2.6.25 (I usually follow whole development cycle, but I was very busy, so I skipped 2.6.25 cycle) I confirm this. I *know* that temperatures reported now are wrong. The reason is that bios did report same temperatures as coretemp in 2.6.24, moreover some time ago I have run a cpu tool (don't remember its name) on windows which similar to coretemp reads from each core directly, sensor data , and I noticed that temperature that bios reports is exactly the average temperature of both cores (I had to run this on windows - intel haven't released drivers for their QST for temperature monitoring from bios - very sad) And the driver did say in kernel log that TJMAX is 85C Lets at least make a kernel option to override tjmax?
