Sorry, The upper data are wrong since wrong governor is used

when guest has mwait, and haltpoll driver is loaded and haltpoll governor is used.

on Intel cpu, unixbench score are nearly same, but sockperf has 20% low latency
on AMD milan cpu, the sockperf latency are similar , but unixbench single core score has 10% loss, because AMD cpu maybe has weak smt capability

Replace default idle with arch cpu idle has little effect


Thanks
