sensors output is not showing coretemp

I had previously run

sudo sensors-detect --auto

Now running the sensors command shows the following output:

ucsi_source_psy_USBC000:001-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
in0:           0.00 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +0.00 V)
curr1:         0.00 A  (max =  +0.00 A)

pch_cannonlake-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +53.0°C  

acpitz-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
temp1:        +64.0°C  (crit = +128.0°C)

ucsi_source_psy_USBC000:002-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
in0:           0.00 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +0.00 V)
curr1:         0.00 A  (max =  +0.00 A)

iwlwifi_1-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +62.0°C  

thinkpad-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1:           0 RPM
fan2:           0 RPM
temp1:        +64.0°C  
temp2:        +59.0°C  
temp3:         +0.0°C  
temp4:         +0.0°C  
temp5:         +0.0°C  
temp6:         +0.0°C  
temp7:         +0.0°C  
temp8:         +0.0°C  

BAT0-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
in0:          12.45 V  

nvme-pci-7100
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite:    +26.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +80.8°C)
                       (crit = +81.8°C)
Sensor 1:     +26.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
Sensor 2:     +38.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

I think it is missing the actual temperature for the CPU. I am tempted to treat the output

pch_cannonlake-virtual-0

as the CPU temperature seeing as it contains

cannonlake

which matches my CPU family.

Is this the right thing to do or is there another solution?

Re: sensors output is not showing coretemp

That looks reasonable. In the past, lmsensors provided a cross-reference for the sensor devices in the sensors.conf file. I don't know how much updating it gets anymore. The fact it recognizes your device shows it is supported. Your 53 deg. looks valid compared to the surrounding 64 deg. temps that don't have a dedicated heatsink/fan. temp2: also looks like it may be located near the cpu. It would be interesting to test under load and see how closely it tracks your pch_cannonlake-virtual-0 temp1: output. All looks good.
