Agreed, scaling is terrible on Firestrike, and poor on Timespy. Timespy Extreme should be better though. :)

"Time Spy was designed for systems with up to 8 cores / 16 threads. It has a bottleneck (as intended) that means it does not scale much beyond that. This is not really a bug - it benchmarks the type of PCs it was designed for just fine. Most games do not scale much beyond this either, so it realistically reflects the gaming performance of these systems - you see exact same lack of scaling in games as well. Currently we have no plans to modify the test. Instead we will be adding Time Spy Extreme test soon that will have a redesigned CPU test (and otherwise graphics tests bumped to 4K) that will support the "core wars" that have started. Current plan is that it should scale to at least 28 cores / 56 threads, possibly to 32 / 64. On Fire Strike the CPU test also does not scale to this type of core counts. Same thing applies as to Time Spy. "

Individual CPU score on Firestrike Ultra and Time Spy adds very little to the overall score even if the CPU performs well.

The score to keep an eye on is the combined score in Firestrike as this can make a big difference and does not need a CPU with loads of cores.
