Both are likely to be variable in modern systems.
From the processor point of view, how caches interact may have an impact

The memory technology varies widely as well.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
