Processor Descriptions

I know I've seen an article/documentation on this somewhere, but I am struggling to find it.

When running a show system environmentals, and more specifically the "Thermal" area for the processors, does anyone know what functions are being handled by which processor? We are running PA-5060 devices in our network.

This would be helpful in our training of new personnel, but also a focus on what will be impacted if a particular processor ends up running too hot and over a threshold.

Jaguar is the signature id chip (ctd)

Tiger is the network chip (hardware acceleration)

dune is the switch fabric

Thanks for the reply above. For the "10G Phys [U171]", would that be fully dedicated to the SFP+ module or is it handling other things as well?
