I was so glad that -- according to 7-cpu -- all have the same
characteristics. But it seems I indeed overlooked the 4way associativity
of skylake.

I wonder what would be the best way to model this. Are there different
mtune flags for Skylake server and client? Gcc distinguishes betweek
skylake and ‘skylake-avx512’? Are these the two variants you talk about?

Best,
Tobias
