This would be an ITE8728F, ITE's latest Super-I/O chip. Nick, can you
confirm this by visual inspection? The chip should look like this:

Thanks, I checked and my motherboard did indeed have that chip. The only difference, if it matters, is that under the "IT8728F" mine had "1039-CXS" and "ZC46FBGB".

And regarding the sensors-detect script, I understand now. If anyone is interested, my Sandy Bridge processor would be model "0x2A" according to how that script does things.
