Hi buddy, thanks for the info. I will take a look and update if anything is out.
The out of 10 number system allocated to GPU and CPU was put in place to give a quick figure of modern games that a hardware component is better than. It compares the hardware to the top 500 most demanding games recommended requirements, then does the same for the top 500 minimum requirements of games. You can hover over the number to see the figures specifically. In this calculation it doesnt matter by how much the hardware is better than those game requirements, just that it is better and can therefore meet the requirements. This collective number out of 1000 games that the hardware is better than is then simply turned into a number out of 10.

I checked with a load of people before adding the system via a poll to see if this was suitably informative and, if i recall correctly, around 75% loved the extra info provided. So we changed the data gathering throughout the whole site and updated our querying to be able to deliver that info. It was pretty tricky to do and still get a fast number to be generated as it crunched so much data.
And so at a glance, we can now see how many games a piece of hardware is better than today and can then see the breakdown of how many games it can perform better than. We added minimum requirements in as well to help balance that figure out, rather than just doing recommended.

A system weak point - Now what can happen though is that the industry/development studios release a game and base their requirements around a most commonly owned piece of hardware and just choose that for recommended or min GPU/CPU. The GTX 1060 keeps coming up as a recommended requirement. This can then mean that someone who has a very similarly powered GPU to the 1060, that is perhaps slightly weaker than the GTX 1060 will continually have a much lower score out of 10 as it is constantly seen as just under the games recommended requirements and therefore its score goes down.

Of course to still provide people a way to compare hardware. I then sorted it so you can click to compare your hardware or even on hover you can see how your hardware compares as a percentage.
A bit wordy but I hope that helps explain my thought process a little. No system is perfect but I wanted something that directly reflected gaming vs hardware today that all hardware could be compared on that used all current games, and this showed the best amount of relatable data.
My CPU is 9.5 but the percentage shows only 17% stronger than your CPU, which scored a 6.8. So hopefully we get more information to make our judgements from.
Right, I will go and review the hardware you mentioned and fix any anomalies.
As always thanks for the feedback it really does help as there is a lot to keep my eyes on and having you guys keep me informed is always amazing. Also you can drop msgs on my wall.
Big hugs F

Yeah it looks weird I will sort it out. Thanks for the headsup!!!
