One core of my cpu heats up way more only during avx2 stress test

[cyan96]

Usually that core is within 10 degrees of the coolest core but only during the xtu avx2 stress test that core thermal throttles while all the rest are in the 60's. any idea why that could be? is that stress test a single core stress test?
