Lockdown Protocol

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H paired with the AMD Radeon 760M is a mobile configuration that, according to measured data for Lockdown Protocol, fails to reach the 60 FPS playability threshold at any resolution or preset. The combo ranks 3702 out of 3714 tested combinations, placing it in the bottom fraction of the database. The CPU itself is a strong performer relative to all CPUs (79th percentile), but the GPU sits at only the 35th percentile, and the benchmark results show that the graphics subsystem is the limiting factor. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, the combo’s standing, and the component roles, while also exploring what similar hardware might offer.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (3840x2160, 2560x1440, 1920x1080) and four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). The table below lists the average FPS for every combination, with minimum and maximum values provided only for Medium settings.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 16 | — | — |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 26 | — | — |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 18 | 15 | 21 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 12 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | High | 25 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 40 | — | — |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 28 | 24 | 32 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 18 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | High | 34 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 54 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 39 | 33 | 44 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 25 | — | — |

At 1920x1080, the best average is 54 FPS on Low, which is still 6 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 39 FPS, High to 34 FPS, and Ultra to 25 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset yields 40 FPS, Medium 28 FPS, High 25 FPS, and Ultra 18 FPS. At 3840x2160, the numbers fall further: Low 26 FPS, Medium 18 FPS, High 16 FPS, and Ultra 12 FPS. The min/max data for Medium shows notable frame variance — at 1080p the range is 33–44 FPS, at 1440p it is 24–32 FPS, and at 4K it is 15–21 FPS. This indicates that even the medium preset experiences dips that could cause noticeable stutter in fast-paced FPS gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank in Lockdown Protocol is 3702 out of 3714 tested combinations. That places it in the bottom 12 of the entire database — only 12 other hardware pairings perform worse. This is a stark contrast to the CPU’s individual standing: the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27507. Its nearest rivals — the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (avgScore 27535, delta -0.1%), Intel Core i5-12600K (avgScore 27578, delta -0.3%), AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (avgScore 27578, delta -0.3%), and AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G (avgScore 27382, delta +0.5%) — are all within 0.5% of its score. This suggests the CPU is not the primary constraint.

The AMD Radeon 760M, on the other hand, has a 35th percentile ranking among all GPUs and an average benchmark score of 6019. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6400 (avgScore 6001, delta +0.3%), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M (avgScore 6000, delta +0.3%), NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server (avgScore 5996, delta +0.4%), and NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (avgScore 6049, delta -0.5%). The GPU’s performance is clearly far below average, and the measured FPS in Lockdown Protocol reflect that. The combination’s low rank is almost entirely attributable to the GPU, which is an integrated graphics solution (IGP) with a TDP of 15 W and system-shared memory.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU is the dominant bottleneck in this configuration. The CPU’s high percentile (79) and strong multi-threaded scores (e.g., Cinebench R23 multi-core 12804.5, PassMark multi-thread 21100) indicate it can handle game logic and physics without issue. However, the measured FPS scale heavily with resolution and preset changes, which are GPU-bound operations. For instance, at Low settings, the average FPS drops from 54 at 1920x1080 to 40 at 2560x1440 and then to 26 at 3840x2160. Similarly, at Ultra settings, it falls from 25 to 18 to 12 across those same resolutions. This pattern — a near-halving of FPS when moving from 1080p to 4K — is typical of a GPU-limited scenario.

The GPU’s specifications reinforce this: it has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and a boost clock of 2599 MHz, but its memory bandwidth is “System Dependent” and its FP32 throughput is only 5.323 TFLOPS. The CPU, by contrast, has 14 cores, 18 threads, and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. While the CPU can feed the GPU with data, the GPU simply lacks the raw throughput to push high frame rates in a modern FPS. Even the integrated graphics inside the CPU (Arc Xe-LPG 96EU) is not part of this pairing — the AMD Radeon 760M is a separate IGP, but its performance is still constrained by shared system memory and a low TDP.

The scaling between presets also points to GPU sensitivity. At 1080p, Low averages 54 FPS, Medium 39 FPS, High 34 FPS, and Ultra 25 FPS — a steady decline as the graphics load increases. The same trend holds at 1440p and 4K. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect less variation across presets at a given resolution. The data instead shows that every increase in graphical demand results in a substantial FPS drop, confirming that the GPU is the performance ceiling.

The Verdict

Based on the measured FPS, this PC cannot run Lockdown Protocol at the 60 FPS playability threshold at any resolution or preset. The highest average FPS achieved is 54 at 1920x1080 with Low settings — 6 FPS short of the target. At 2560x1440, the best is 40 FPS (Low), and at 3840x2160, the best is 26 FPS (Low). All other presets yield even lower averages. The verdict by resolution is clear: no playable settings exist at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, or 1920x1080. Even the most forgiving combination (1080p Low) falls below the threshold, and the min/max data for Medium (33–44 FPS at 1080p) shows that frame pacing would be inconsistent. This configuration is not suitable for smooth FPS gameplay in Lockdown Protocol.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide a sense of what hardware would behave similarly. For the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (delta -0.1%), Intel Core i5-12600K (delta -0.3%), AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (delta -0.3%), and AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G (delta +0.5%) all have average benchmark scores within half a percent of the Core Ultra 5. In practice, swapping the CPU to any of these would yield essentially identical CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol, though the GPU would remain the bottleneck.

For the AMD Radeon 760M, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6400 (delta +0.3%), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M (delta +0.3%), NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server (delta +0.4%), and NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (delta -0.5%). These GPUs have average scores within 0.5% of the 760M, so they would produce very similar frame rates in this game. None of these alternatives would lift the combo above the 60 FPS threshold; they would all land in the same low-FPS territory. The data suggests that any hardware pairing with a GPU in this performance class will struggle to run Lockdown Protocol at playable frame rates, regardless of CPU strength.

Q: What are the CPU and GPU percentile rankings?

A: The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is at the 79th percentile among CPUs, while the AMD Radeon 760M is at the 35th percentile among GPUs.

Q: For Medium settings, what are the minimum and maximum FPS at 1920x1080?

A: At 1920x1080 Medium, the minimum is 33 FPS and the maximum is 44 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more responsible for the low performance?

A: The GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU’s benchmark percentile (79) is far above the GPU’s (35), and FPS drops significantly as resolution and preset increase, which is characteristic of GPU-bound performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

Since no preset at any resolution reaches the 60 FPS threshold, there is no “most demanding preset” that stays at or above 60 FPS. For completeness, the highest average FPS at each resolution is listed below, but none qualify as playable.

• 3840x2160: No qualifying preset. The best average is 26 FPS at Low settings.
• 2560x1440: No qualifying preset. The best average is 40 FPS at Low settings.
• 1920x1080: No qualifying preset. The best average is 54 FPS at Low settings.

All other presets produce lower averages, and even the best-case numbers fall short of the 60 FPS target. Users seeking a playable experience would need to consider a different GPU or reduce the resolution below 1920x1080, though no such option is present in the measured data.
