A HWRNG is not necessarily a TRNG. As you say, a TRNG has one bit of entropy per bit of output. There's no way to prove this property is even possible in this physical universe, since it requires perfect unpredictability. Urandom is a CSPRNG seeded by a HWRNG. |

Urandom also takes entropy from things like mouse movements, inter-onset intervals of key presses, and (on servers) hard drive seek times, so it actually does take in some of its own entropy in addition to that provided by the CPU.
