That was answered in the post you quoted:
It's really a waste of time to keep obsessing about this. Your MBP is behaving normally. There is no need for you to be concerned about this. The fans will not immediately spin up as soon as temps rise.
Got a tip for us?

macbook pro 13' 2012 high cpu temp and fan problem

he wrote "ramp up quite gradually".. so my question was when does it starts doing it.. that is also my original issue.
btw thanks for your interest
ps. i wanted to compare my measurements just in case. i've settled that probably there isn't any problem with my MBP.
It's NOT easy to compare because Intel Core CPU have a Turbo that boost the frequency as high as possible until a) CPU reach about 104°C b) CPU reach TDP. Room temp and laptop temp, even the software itself and the task done can change the way the CPU gets warmer.
To compare, it's important to do the same things or at least close the same. An easy way to do this is to run 4 times yes > /dev/null & in terminal. Than check hot fan and temps go each 10 to 15 seconds.

i runned "yes" on the terminal for about 1 minute and with 26-30% cpu load the cpu temp was between 73C to 80C but the fan remained at 1999-2004rpm all the time.
Run it 4 times to have 4 tasks and 100% CPU load.
i did what you said... there is no big difference..
There's nothing wrong with the fan behavior, but the temperatures are very strange. Out of curiosity, what sort of environment are you using your computer in? Is it very hot, is the computer in the sunlight or next to a heat source, and/or is the computer sitting on an insulating material (something like a blanket)?he wrote "ramp up quite gradually".. so my question was when does it starts doing it.. that is also my original issue.

It's not good, The Cpu will degrade much faster at that heat, apple shoud program their fancontrollers better, but i guess they want their custumers to buy a new mac after a few years.
You should download smc fan control and monitor your temps and fan speeds yourself. Your mac will still operate silently, but will run cooler.
In this case, apple dosn't know best.
Yeah, that's why my mid 2012 is cooler and quieter than the previous one, even when running at 100% for hours and hours.
