Some time ago, AMD changed the temperature scale to a synthetic "Tcontrol" scale where the reading 70degC is the maximum operating temperature for the chip. This simplifies things because you don't have to know the particulars of each chip, you can just manage the "temperature" to keep it below 70 "degC".
