After 10 months of not receiving any changes or updates, Core Temp has now been updated to support Intel's latest processors and AMD's latest APUs. Core Temp is a popular utility for CPU temperature reporting. The latest version available is version 1.17 and is the first update of 2021.
Core Temp Adds Intel Rocket, Lake, Alder Lake, & Meteor Lake Support, But Not Raptor Lake
The update supports AMD Zen 2 (Lucienne) and Zen 3 (Cezanne) APUs. From Intel, the 11th gen Rocket Lake processors are now supported. On top of the Rocket Lake support, Core Temp has added preliminary support for Alder Lake and very preliminary support for Meteor Lake which is expected to launch in 2023. However, Raptor Lake, the 13th generation and successor to Alder Lake has not had any support added which is surprising as it falls between Alder Lake and Meteor Lake.
Below is the changelog for version 1.17. Additions to the tool as well as fixes to the tool are in the list below.
