1. A method, comprising:
- measuring a current processor temperature of a processor of a device;
measuring a current ambient temperature inside the device;
determining a difference between the current processor temperature and the current ambient temperature;
comparing the determined difference to an initial difference; and
generating a warning if a difference between the determined difference and the initial difference is greater than a threshold value.

Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to ambient and processor temperature difference comparison. Processor and ambient temperatures are measured. A difference between the processor and ambient temperatures is compared to an initial difference. A warning may be signaled if a difference between the determined difference and the initial difference is greater than a threshold value.

10. A system, comprising:
-
a processor temperature module to measure a temperature of a processor of a device at an initial time period and a later time period after the initial time period; an ambient temperature module to measure a temperature of air inside the device during the initial time and at the later time period; a performance module to determine an initial difference between the processor and ambient temperature during the initial time period and to determine a later difference between the processor and ambient temperature during the later time period; and a warning module to generate a warning if a final difference between the initial and final differences is greater than a threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, if executed by a processor of a device, cause the processor to:
-
measure a temperature of the processor; measure a temperature of ambient air at the device; determine a later difference between the temperature of the processor and temperature of the ambient air; determine a final difference between the later difference and an initial difference; and generate a warning if the final difference is greater than a threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (15)
