Except for this, not really:
	https://jira01.devtools.intel.com/browse/LCK-2271

To make results comparable other platforms, I'm using sustained 
performance numbers by discarding results for first round(s) that were 
run with turbo.

For some of performance tracks, we've also planned to disable power 
management completely (e.g. by using fixed freqs for CPU & GPU) because 
it causes way too much variance to performance results (more between 
runs, than within single run).
