Look at /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device?/cur_state max_state, etc too. Some of the cooling devices are CPU governors that insert a fake idle process at various percentages of 100% "CPU". Ie, they steal cycles from a process that is trying to hog the CPU, but don't heat the processor in the process[1] (some turn on more fans, or maybe make higher sleep states).
