- - And are these cores on the same socket or on different ones?

- - Are the timestamp counters between these cores synchronized?
  => To be safe you might want to measure the roundtrip time from
     client to server and back as then you use the same hardware
     TSC.

- - Did you disable the usual suspects for System Management Mode
  interruptions (for instance Legacy USB Support, which is often
  provided as a feature by your BIOS)?
