The values are samples (you control the averaging) under the cursor yes. But with Photoshop they are converted to the color space of the document's tagged profile unlike the Color Meter(s). Here's a visual example of how those products get the numbers wrong unless you are using sRGB (and setting the meters as such).

This one is really way off even with sRGB and you have to love the -0 number:
