Indeed it is not.

It measures the speed of one particular delay loop.? Because such a busy
loop is pretty much the silliest thing you could do to a CPU, it does
not make sense to use it to measure overall CPU speed, or to compare
different microarchitectures.

If you want to know how fast your code will execute, you have to measure
that code.? If you are too lazy to do this, search for a benchmark that
represents that code well; for general-purpose code, the gcc part of the
SPEC CPU benchmark probably comes closest.
