Count: 8

Code:

  str x0, [x6, w7, sxtw]
  str x0, [x6, w7, sxtw]
  str x0, [x6, w7, sxtw]
  str x0, [x6, w7, sxtw]
  str x0, [x6, w7, sxtw]
  str x0, [x6, w7, sxtw]
  str x0, [x6, w7, sxtw]
  str x0, [x6, w7, sxtw]
  mov x7, 8

(fused SUBS/B.cc loop)

100 unrolls and 100 iterations

Result (median cycles for code divided by count): 1.0005
