Don't Real Temp and Core Temp both work in the same way? Just that they use different TJmax values?
Isn't it the same for all core 2 cpu's, what's already been said, that they look at the difference in temp from core temp to tjunction temp, but intel haven't published what these tjunction values are. It is just an assumption from any temp monitoring software what this tjunction value is. On the original post, Realtemp is assuming 95 whereas coretemp is assuming 105, which is why there is exactly a 10c difference between the two. On the version of coretemp I'm using at the moment, it's assuming a tjunction of 100c for my q6600.
What we really need is for intel to publish these figures, or have them coded onto each cpu, so that they can be identified by the temp monitoring software.

I have quiet simply said thats not exactly a rule of thumb for all current Intel CPU's.
More than a few programs have been released over the last few years, each claiming to accurately report these DTS values in real-time. The truth is that none can be fully trusted as the Tjunction values utilized in these transformations may not always be correct. Moreover, Intel representatives have informed us that these as-of-yet unpublished Tjunction values may actually vary from model to model - sometimes even between different steppings - and that the temperature response curves may not be entirely accurate across the whole reporting range. Since all of today's monitoring programs have come to incorrectly assume that Tjunction values are a function of the processor family/stepping only, we have no choice but to call everything we thought we had come to know into question. Until Intel decides to publish these values on a per-model basis, the best these DTS readings can do for us is give a relative indication of each core's remaining thermal margin, whatever that may be.
