Can someone run the same test on an Ice Lake? That will also answer whether we 
should enable the same thing for ICL / ICX.

RKL is a Cypress Cove, so I'd expect it to have the same performance numbers 
as ICL's Sunny Cove. The data I have says that, in theory, we should not see a 
frequency drop for 512-bit memcpy / memset on ICL or TGL, but I haven't got 
experimental data confirming that. And I can't really run the benchmark test 
on a laptop with very poor thermal dissipation (freq drops to 1500 MHz all on 
its own).

If a good ICL has the drop, then I'd assume RKL will too.
