Hi friend, Gaaf
The temperature differences you're observing in your N305 processor during a stress test could be attributed to several factors. Even though the datasheet suggests that all cores are equal E-cores, in practice, there can be variations in temperature across different cores due to:
1.Silicon Quality: Not all cores are created equal; some may be able to handle higher frequencies or voltages more efficiently than others.
2.Workload Distribution: The stress test might not be distributing the workload evenly across all cores, leading to temperature disparities.
3.Thermal Solution: The effectiveness of the cooling solution can vary across the processor, with some areas being better cooled than others.
4.Sensor Accuracy: Temperature sensors themselves can have slight variances in accuracy or calibration.
It's also possible that the first four cores are positioned in a part of the chip that has better thermal conductivity to the heatsink, or they might be less affected by other heat-generating components on the motherboard.
If this temperature difference is consistent and not causing thermal throttling or stability issues, it might be within the expected operational parameters.
