Selenium is a browser benchmark. I had difficulty running all browsers, getting messages about compatibility between the driver and the browser, so ran just the first workload (ARES6) with firefox. The benchmark runs just a few processes with a run queue typically around three but overall lower on cpu.
Topdown overview suggests a higher retirement rate with some backend stalls.
AMD metrics show mostly integer code with a high number of branches but not much branch misses and low overall on cpu
