Re:Performance variation in ‘identical’ processors by mlyle on Sunday January 05, 2020 @07:47PM (#21965495)
The entire study seems to presuppose that most of what is measured is processor manufacturing variation. There's further recommendations about removing the variation with processor binning, etc.

It's an interesting set of measurements, but the assumed source of the variation is dubious, and it's not clearly what, if any, actions it really supports.

Yeah. Maybe authors know something we don't. Or maybe were simply trying to get the paper accepted into a silicon-related conference.
