i7 6700hq getting half the score of others in xtu

[sathvic.p]

I have a lenovo y700-15isk
i7-6700hq
gtx960m
8gb ram
128gb ssd
I get half the score in xtu benchmark. Others get generally above 900 while I get 557. My friend also has i7 6700hq and he gets 930...
gaming performance isn't affected much (i quess)..

XTU is heavily RAM-dependent. So if your friend has 16GB, or faster speeds etc, that'll impact the score significantly.

Yes he has 16 gb ram, but for a cpu benchmark to have a 100% deviation because of ram only?...

There's always the problem of heat. I have an i7-6700HQ laptop and it struggled to make it to 700 on xtu. It overheats in the process too. What are your temps. It might also be faulty.
