I really thought the CTX_TIMESTAMP was running 8 times slower :


For the 2015 - 2016 Intel CoreTM Processors, CeleronTM Processors,
and PentiumTM Processors based on the "Skylake" Platform

Volume 2c: Command Reference: Registers
Part 1 – Registers A through L

May 2016, Revision 1.0

CTX_TIMESTAMP - Context Timestamp Count:

The granularity of this toggle is at the rate of the bit 3 in the 
"Reported Timestamp Count"
register(0x2358).. The toggle will be 8 times slower that "Reported 
Timestamp Count". The
granularity of the time stamp base unit for "Reported Timestamp Count" 
is defined in the
“Timestamp Bases” subsection in Power Management chapter.
