   Thank you.   
   Two 64-bit A53 results about the same as EV5 clock for clock and one   
   result is significantly better.   
   So, either wide in-order is indeed not bright idea or 21164 suffers   
   because of inferioriority of Alpha ISA relatively to ARM64.   
      
   BTW, Odroid C2 score appears suspiciously good. Could it be a turbo   
   clock frequency was much higher than reported?
