No, this isn't right. The workload is not stressing all cores, you're reporting 235 J for core 0 and only 35 J for core 7. If you are running the avx-turbo test, please run it like this: ./avx-turbo --iters 10000000 --spec avx256_fma_t/8 This will run AVX code on all 8 cores for about 1 second. To run it for longer, increase the --iters argument. Thanks. Alexander
