CPU loading has high change rate when run CPU test

[mafiajerry]

Hi,

I run Burn-in Test V8.1 in my systems, as follows
CPU:
Intel 6th Gen Skylake CPU
C7: i7-6822EQ, Quad-core, up to 2.8GHz (HD-530)
C5: i5-6442EQ, Quad-core, up to 2.7GHz (HD-530)
C1: Celeron G3902E, Dual-core, up to 1.6GHz (HD-510)
PCH:
Intel® QM170

I use default CPU test item with 80% duty cycle, the CPU loading runs from 40% to 90%.
But when I only select "General purpose instructions", CPU loading keep to run on 90%





Why the CPU loading has big difference between two tests?
Does anyone have the same experience?
Thanks.

We never really made any attempt to exactly match the CPU load from each sub-test in the CPU suite. It would change slightly for each CPU model in any case.
