There is a bug in the Linux calibration routine for the TSC mode clock. It doesn't get a consistent answer. I hacked the code to loop and print the answer. It was a splatter. None were far off unless you are a time keeping geek. It's easy to see the different drift results and startup transients are "interesting". clocksource=acpi_pm on the boot command line might help. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
