i don't think it really is random, maybe it differs beause the state of
the processor differs little. can't we use this to statistically measure
something about that processor ?

it would be nice to 'predict' something about the state of some device on
the motherboard (and this is just a very wild guess).

the real question is: what causes these fluctuations ?
