5.2.3 Processor Thermal Control % Sensors
Processor Thermal Control % sensors report the percentage of the time that the processor is throttling its performance due to thermal issues. If
this is not addressed the processor could overheat and shut down the system to protect itself from damage

0b = Assertion Event
1b = Deassertion Event
[6:0] Event Type = 01h (Threshold)
14 Event Data 1
[7:6] – 01b = Trigger reading in Event Data 2
[5:4] – 01b = Trigger threshold in Event Data 3
[3:0] – Event Triggers as described in Table 40
15 Event Data 2 Reading that triggered event.
16 Event Data 3 Threshold value that triggered event.
