1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a second die having a first thermal sensor and a second thermal sensor;

    a first die having a third thermal sensor, the second die in close physical proximity with the first die;

    control logic coupled with the first thermal sensor and the second thermal sensor, the control logic to determine a temperature difference between the first thermal sensor and the second thermal sensor;

    management logic coupled with the control logic and the thermal sensor on the first die, the management logic to receive the temperature difference and a temperature measurement from the thermal sensor on the first die, to determine a location for the third thermal sensor, and to manage operational characteristics of the first die based on the temperature difference communicated from the second die and the temperature measurement from the thermal sensor on the first die.
