Performance is also decided by the connector between cpu and gpu, that is motherboard. It is better to consider other part of the computer system in performance analysis, such as memory bandwidth.

Nice idea but seems extremely arbitrary.

Wouldn’t the ideal CPU/GPU “ratio” depend entirely on the game/application?

The CPU does a heck of a lot more than just feed data to the GPU…
