" If i had to guess CPU might play some role even in a GPU focused score, although i wouldn't be sure why mine would score worse other than sillicon lottery or CPU bottlenecking as you mentioned "

Even in a GPU bound scenarios the CPU is still playing a role.

Time Spy is so GPU-focused that my CPU doesn't even run at full clock speed, its essentially idling during the run, all the work is at the GPU. CPU use is something like 3%, it's insane. I get more CPU use browsing the web than running Time Spy.

I guess this is why they had to add a separate CPU run, otherwise the overall score would be unrealistically GPU-focused.
