amdtemp(4):
For Family 10h and later processors, “(the reported temperature) is a
non-physical temperature measured on an arbitrary scale and it does not
represent an actual physical temperature like die or case temperature.
Instead, it specifies the processor temperature relative to the point at
which the system must supply the maximum cooling for the processor's
specified maximum case temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation”
according to BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for AMD Processors,
