Yes, it would be more clear to state that SKX matches BDX as well as
HSX. I was following the order of product releases. Should I submit a

New commit message:

"Skylake server (SKX) uses similar RAPL interface as Haswell server
which is used on Broadwell server as well."


Thanks for pointing it out.
