Fiery Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Core GT = the integrated GPU part of your processor Core IA = the classic CPU part of your processor Regards, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahmood Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Interesting, you mean there is an integrated gpu inside the cpu and another outside the cpu? The laptop has Radeon HD 6550M GPU and Intel Core-i7 2630QM But there is no switch to select any of them and I think always the Radeon is working. One more question What is "CPU package"? I noticed there is another sensor named "CPU". What is the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Your processor indeed has an integrated GPU, but it may be disabled due to an external GPU (Radeon). CPU, CPU Package, CPU IA Cores, CPU GT Cores, CPU #1 / Core #n are all measured by different diodes, either internal ones built into the CPU, or via external diodes managed by the notebook motherboard. We usually recommend to watch only the CPU #1 / Core #n temperatures, since those are the ones managed by the Intel DTS technology that prevents your CPU from overheating.
