Hmmmm .... OK, your command, followed by my usual incantation:

I'd say it's off, room temp is around 76F, or about 26-ish C, & the CPU
is generating heat, so it can't be cooler (Thermodynamics). My CPU is an
AMD Sempron 3850, jaguar-kabini, quad core, fairly new, April 9 2014 to
be precise, exactly the day I bought it :-). I guess it's either
something mbd or too-new CPU, but that is rank speculation. Your numbers
look at least plausible, so I'd say you are good to go, just trying to
get myself there as well. Those CPU's are apparently fairly widely used
in laptops & low-end desktops, so while new-ish, they are certainly not
rare birds. I like the output of your command a bit better than mine, I
think I will adopt it :-) .... Any more info needed, don't hesitate.
