"The counter is incremented on every processor clock cycle,
even when the processor is halted by the HLT instruction or the external STPCLK# pin"
But not if clocks are completely stopped, not through STPCLK, but just stopped.

"The RDTSC instruction reads the time-stamp counter and is
_guaranteed_ to return a monotonically increasing unique value
_whenever_ executed, except for 64-bit wraparound".
This only says that two consecutive RDTSC do not return same value.
