A low power core2 server:

CPU vendor : GenuineIntel
CPU model : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz
CPU stepping : 6
TSC flags : tsc constant_tsc
Using lfence_rdtsc because you have an Intel CPU
Will test the "lfence;rdtsc" clock.
Now test passed : margin 84 with 39213496 samples
Load3 test passed: margin 20947164 with 15 samples
Load test passed : margin 52 with 12466437 samples
Store test failed as expected: worst error 1397 with 11151528 samples

That margin number seemed a bit high, rerunning gives:

CPU vendor : GenuineIntel
CPU model : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz
CPU stepping : 6
TSC flags : tsc constant_tsc
Using lfence_rdtsc because you have an Intel CPU
Will test the "lfence;rdtsc" clock.
Now test passed : margin 84 with 39201440 samples
Load3 test passed: margin 7991 with 15 samples
Load test passed : margin 52 with 12482714 samples
Store test failed as expected: worst error 2457 with 11129294 samples
