I think for these benchmarking stuff, to evaluate the cycles and time
correctly you should use the __rdtscp(more info at "AMD64 Architecture
Programmer’s Manual Volume 3: General-Purpose and System Instructions"
Pg 401)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

#include <x86intrin.h>
volatile unsigned sink;
unsigned int junk;
int main (void)
{
clock_t start = clock();
register uint64_t t=__rdtscp(&junk);
for(size_t i=0; i<10000000; ++i)
sink++;
t=__rdtscp(&junk)-t;
clock_t end = clock();
double cpu_time_used = ((double) (end - start)) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
printf("for loop took %f seconds to execute %zu cylces\n", cpu_time_used, t);
}
