Just to clear things up, I've heard from a reliable source that TJ Target and Tj Max are the exact same thing and that Intel wasn't trying to add more confusion to this subject.
I wrote back and tried to explain the problem I have with that:
"If I use TjMax=70C for my B2 I end up with idle temperatures during my calibration test that are reported approximately 17C below my room temperature and based on rge's recent testing that has to be a good 23C below the actual core temperature. There is a couple of degrees of slope error in the 65nm CPUs but certainly not that much.
There's the dilemma I have. If I follow Intel's recent guidelines for 65nm, I am going to end up with a lot of unhappy users and my program will likely become the laughing stock. Intel's version of things just doesn't seem to fit with the testing that rge and I have done on B2 and G0 Dual and Quad Core processors."
Based on that, I don't intend to change the TjMax that RealTemp is presently using for the 65nm processors. If an individual user thinks that the Intel recommended TjMax is correct for his CPU then by all means go ahead and use it. All I can say is that there seems to be a lot of 65nm processors out there that don't fit Intel's recent TjMax news release.
