This driver permits reading temperature sensor(s) embedded inside AMD K8 CPUs. This driver permits reading temperature sensor(s) embedded inside AMD K8
Official documentation says that it works from revision F of K8 core, but family CPUs (Athlon64/FX, Opteron). Official documentation says that it works
