Lets do a little test here. I'm gonna run Intel burn test using 1 thread only, on Core #0. Then we'll look at core temps and "CPU" temps.
As you can see in the picture below, only one core is at full load, yet "Core temps" are identical for all four cores.... Not only that, 23*C is below my ambient temp anyways. The "CPU" temp is at 33*C and judging by the heat around the CPU (using my finger) that seems about right.
Okay, now lets try it with 2 cores. Core #0 and Core #1. CPU temp went up 1*C and look at Core temps.... Then went up exactly 1*C on all four cores.
Just for fun lets try 3 cores and see what happens.
And we get the same result. Core temps are reading 26*C (which is about ambient) at 75% load. My cooling is pretty good, but its not that good, lol.
Not only that, you can see when "CPU" temp rose, so did Core temp. The core's themselves don't have an actual sensor to output temps, the "Core temp" temperature is purely a calculated value and is completely worthless IMO.
