Balance and Bottleneck

The CPU’s 92nd percentile is 6 points higher than the GPU’s 86th percentile. This means the CPU is relatively stronger. In gaming, the GPU is typically the limiting factor at high resolutions such as 4K, while the CPU is more critical at lower resolutions like 1080p. Without measured FPS, we can infer from the scores that the GPU will be the bottleneck at 4K, while the CPU will be the limiting factor in high-refresh 1080p gaming. The CPU’s high single-thread score of 2604 in Geekbench and the GPU’s 3DMark score of 6600 suggest a balanced system, but the percentile gap indicates the CPU is more capable relative to its peers.
