ntp has a "sanity check" limit, if the actual clock and the ntp time
differ by more than this (1000s? one thousand somethings IIRC) then it
just gives up.

I also have a dual core AMD box where the clock is going nuts, much
faster than normal, and ntpd is powerless confronted with the temporal
madness.
