ARM *is* most cpus. I think we long ago passed the point where more than 50% of all >32bit cpus were ARM.

Typically the temperature of each core is monitored by stuff added around the ARM cores in an SoC, not the ARM itself. For example on a Pi, `vcgencmd measure_temp` works, though strictly speaking that measures the general temp of the SoC - which like many devices that are ARM powered is a large thing to do stuff and just happens to have a few Gips of processor hidden in a small corner.
