You are assuming an exact score is needed. Its only an approximation and
anything close is good enough. If a program needs at minimum score in a
particular range, such as processor, they can specify a 4.7 as an example
minimum or similar for that particular function.

I have to agree with what Adam said. It can be very misleading. If you do
performance score let us say 5 times a day for example you can get 2 or 3
different readings.
