Lockdown Protocol

# Lockdown Protocol Performance Analysis: Intel Core Ultra 7 155H + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile forms a mobile gaming configuration aimed at high-refresh 1080p and 1440p play. The CPU, a 16-core/22-thread Meteor Lake part with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, ranks in the 83rd percentile among all tested CPUs, while the GPU, an Ada Lovelace-based RTX 4070 Mobile with 4608 shading units and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, sits in the 73rd percentile among all tested GPUs. This combination ranks first out of 3714 tested combos in the database for Lockdown Protocol, indicating top-tier placement among all configurations evaluated for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Important note: The fact pack for this entry contains no measured FPS data (`measuredFps` is empty) and no resolution-specific verdicts (`verdictByResolution` is empty). The performance analysis below is therefore derived from the hardware's synthetic benchmark scores and its percentile rankings relative to other tested hardware, not from direct in-game frame rate measurements.

Without direct FPS measurements, the data provides proxy indicators through the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 19,587 and the CPU's multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score of 15,028. The GPU's PassMark DirectX 12 score of 85 and DirectX 11 score of 179 suggest the card handles modern API workloads consistently, though these are compute-oriented metrics rather than game-specific frame rates. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3,468 indicates strong per-core performance, which typically translates to solid frame pacing in FPS titles.

The GPU's memory configuration — 8 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth — sets an upper bound on texture-heavy scenarios. For Lockdown Protocol, an FPS with likely moderate VRAM demands, this capacity should accommodate high-quality textures at 1080p and 1440p without exceeding the frame buffer. At 4K, the 8 GB capacity could become a limiting factor, though the absence of measured data prevents definitive conclusions.

The CPU's L3 cache of 24 MB shared across 16 cores, combined with DDR5 memory support and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, provides sufficient throughput for feeding the GPU in typical FPS workloads. The integrated Arc Xe-LPG 128EU graphics do not factor into gaming performance since the discrete RTX 4070 Mobile handles rendering.

Best Settings per Resolution

No measured FPS data exists for this game at any resolution, so the "best settings" cannot be determined with certainty. However, the hardware's benchmark profile offers reasonable guidance. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 19,587 places it in the 73rd percentile, a tier that typically handles competitive FPS titles at high settings on 1080p and high-to-ultra on 1440p. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,028 and single-core score of 1,743 suggest it will not bottleneck the GPU in most scenarios, as FPS games rarely stress all 22 threads.

At 1080p, the data supports an expectation of high or ultra presets maintaining 60 FPS, given the GPU's pixel rate of 81.36 GPixel/s and texture rate of 244.1 GTexel/s — these throughput figures indicate ample fill-rate headroom for a competitive FPS. At 1440p, the same presets may require a reduction to high if the game's rendering load scales heavily with resolution, but the GPU's 15.62 TFLOPS FP32 compute suggests it can handle moderate resolution scaling. At 4K, the 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become constraints; medium settings would likely be necessary, but without measured data this remains speculative.

The CPU's PassMark physics score of 1,727 and data compression score of 277,353 indicate strong general-purpose compute, which supports stable frame times in physics-heavy scenes. The lack of measured FPS means the exact preset that "stays at or above 60 FPS" cannot be identified; the analysis can only indicate that the hardware's benchmark profile is consistent with 60 FPS capability at 1080p and 1440p on high settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The balance between CPU and GPU for Lockdown Protocol shifts with resolution, a pattern common to FPS titles. At lower resolutions, the CPU's single-thread performance — reflected in its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,743 and PassMark single-thread score of 3,468 — becomes more critical, as the GPU has spare capacity and game logic and draw call processing dominate. The Core Ultra 7 155H's 16 cores and 22 threads provide robust headroom even if the game is not fully multi-threaded; the boost clock of 4.80 GHz ensures responsive per-core performance.

At higher resolutions, the GPU's role expands. The RTX 4070 Mobile's 4608 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 48 ROPs determine raw pixel throughput, and its 8 GB VRAM capacity becomes a factor at 4K. The memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s is moderate for a 40-series mobile part, suggesting that resolution scaling beyond 1440p will see diminishing returns. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and dual-channel DDR5 support are sufficient to feed the GPU without imposing a bottleneck in most FPS workloads.

The scaling between resolutions and presets cannot be quantified without measured FPS data. What the benchmark scores indicate is that the CPU's multi-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 multi-core 15,028) is roughly 8.6 times its single-core score, showing strong parallel capability. The GPU's compute performance (PassMark GPU compute 8,399) is lower relative to its graphics score, which is typical for gaming-oriented GPUs. For an FPS like Lockdown Protocol, the CPU's single-thread performance and the GPU's fill-rate metrics are the primary determinants of frame rate, with the CPU playing a larger role at 1080p and the GPU taking over at 1440p and above.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are tightly clustered. The Intel Core i5-14600T has an average benchmark score of 32,707, essentially identical to the Core Ultra 7 155H's 32,697 (0% delta). The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 32,662 (0.1% faster), the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F scores 32,750 (0.2% slower), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32,812 (0.4% slower). These delta percentages are negligible — within noise — meaning any of these CPUs would deliver effectively identical CPU-bound performance in Lockdown Protocol. The choice among them would come down to platform features, power characteristics, or availability, not gaming performance.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals show slightly wider but still small deltas. The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT has an average score of 27,425 versus the RTX 4070 Mobile's 27,435 (0% delta). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 scores 27,565 (0.5% faster), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell scores 27,135 (1.1% slower), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 scores 27,839 (1.5% slower). These figures indicate that the RTX 4070 Mobile performs essentially on par with a desktop RX 6700 XT and within 1.5% of an RTX 3090 in aggregate benchmarks. In practice, the RTX 3090's larger VRAM (24 GB) and wider memory bus would give it an edge in 4K scenarios, but for 1080p and 1440p FPS gaming, the differences would be imperceptible.

The practical takeaway: if a laptop with the Core Ultra 7 155H and RTX 4070 Mobile is unavailable, a configuration with a Ryzen 5 7400F or Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H CPU and an RX 6700 XT or RTX 3090 GPU would produce nearly identical frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, based on the close benchmark scores.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile ranks 1st out of 3714 tested combos in the database for Lockdown Protocol. This top ranking is driven by the combination of a high-percentile CPU (83rd percentile) and a high-percentile GPU (73rd percentile), but it is important to contextualize what this rank means. The database's combo ranking aggregates the performance of both components, and a rank of 1 suggests that no other tested pairing of CPU and GPU scores higher on average across all benchmark workloads.

This rank does not guarantee the highest in-game FPS for Lockdown Protocol specifically, since the combo ranking is based on synthetic benchmark averages rather than game-specific measurements. However, the fact that this combo outranks 3,713 other configurations — many of which may include desktop CPUs and GPUs — indicates that the Core Ultra 7 155H and RTX 4070 Mobile together provide a balanced, high-performance platform that excels across the benchmark suite. For a game like Lockdown Protocol, which likely benefits from both strong single-threaded CPU performance and solid GPU fill rates, this combo's first-place rank is a positive signal, even without direct FPS verification.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 32,697 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, meaning only 17% of tested CPUs score higher. The GPU's average score of 27,435 places it in the 73rd percentile. When combined, the pairing's aggregate performance is exceptional, but the GPU is comparatively weaker than the CPU relative to their peer groups — this suggests the system is CPU-heavy, and in GPU-bound scenarios (e.g., 4K), the RTX 4070 Mobile may hold the combo back from maintaining top-tier frame rates.

The Verdict

Based on the available data, this PC can run Lockdown Protocol at playable frame rates, but the lack of measured FPS data prevents a definitive resolution-by-resolution verdict. The `verdictByResolution` field is empty, so the database has not confirmed which presets and resolutions clear the 60 FPS threshold. What can be stated with confidence from the benchmark scores:

The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 19,587 and the CPU's PassMark multi-thread score of 24,873 are both well above the median for their respective component classes. The GPU's DirectX 12 score of 85 and DirectX 11 score of 179 indicate modern API support without driver-level bottlenecks. The CPU's 16 cores and 22 threads provide ample parallelism for any game engine, and the 4.80 GHz boost clock ensures snappy single-threaded response.

Given that this combo ranks first among 3,714 tested configurations, and both components sit in the upper quartile of their respective benchmarks, the reasonable expectation is that Lockdown Protocol will run at or above 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p on high settings. At 4K, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM capacity and 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth could become limiting, potentially requiring medium settings to maintain 60 FPS. However, since no measured FPS data exists, these conclusions are inferences from synthetic benchmarks, not verified results.

The data strongly suggests this is a capable gaming system for Lockdown Protocol. The first-place combo ranking is the single most compelling piece of evidence, indicating that no other tested hardware pairing outperforms this one on aggregate benchmarks. For a competitive FPS, this configuration should deliver the frame rates needed for smooth, responsive gameplay at mainstream resolutions. Users seeking absolute confirmation should look for game-specific benchmarks, as the current database entry lacks measured FPS values.
