Sure, but you're adding even more roughness by omitting some of the identifying information for the different CPUs involved!

Something else: There's a second KEM, ntrulpr4591761, in the NTRU Prime submission. 58756/94508/128316 Haswell cycles keypair/enc/dec.

Thanks! (Had to wait to get home before I could update it.)

Yet another thing: there's a big difference in speeds between, e.g., E3-1220 v2 (3.1GHz Ivy Bridge) and E3-1220 v5 (3GHz Skylake).

Yes, of course. These aren't benchmarks on a common machine, just an extraction of the claims from the PDFs. As noted, there's a lot of variance in machines and in implementation effort & ability, thus speeds are rough.
