CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a 16-core, 22-thread mobile processor from the Core Ultra Series 1, built on Intel's Meteor Lake architecture using a 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a thermal design power of 28 W. The CPU features a cache hierarchy of 112 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3 cache. Memory support includes DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s.

In general benchmark tests, the CPU scores 15028 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1743 in single-core, alongside a Passmark multi-thread score of 24873 and single-thread score of 3468. These figures place the processor at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32697. The nearest rivals — the Intel Core i5-14600T, AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360, AMD Ryzen 5 7400F, and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H — all score within 0.4% of the 155H, indicating that this processor delivers performance squarely in line with its immediate competitive set.

For Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform that often stresses single-thread performance due to its scripting and entity simulation, the CPU's single-core capabilities are directly relevant to the measured frame rates. The 155H's single-thread Passmark score of 3468 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1743 suggest adequate processing power for the game's logic-heavy workloads. However, the frame rate data reveals that at 1080p Low, the CPU is capable of driving 156 FPS, while at 1080p Ultra it drops to 76 FPS. This 80 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at the same resolution indicates that the graphics settings impose additional load on the system, but the CPU's role becomes more pronounced at lower settings where it can feed frames faster.

The 22 threads provide headroom for background tasks and multiplayer server communication, which is relevant in Fivem's multi-user environments. The 24 MB shared L3 cache helps maintain data locality for frequently accessed game assets. Benchmark results show the CPU's data compression score at 277353 and integer math at 86870, suggesting robust computational throughput that supports the game's simulation and physics calculations. In the context of this combo's 2210 rank out of 3005 tested configurations, the CPU is not the limiting component at higher resolutions, but at 1080p it enables the high frame rates seen in the Low preset.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon 8050S is an integrated graphics processor based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, along with 32 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 2800 MHz, with a TDP of 55 W. Memory is system-shared, meaning the GPU relies on the CPU's DDR5 memory with bandwidth dependent on the system configuration.

The GPU's compute capabilities include an FP32 throughput of 11.47 TFLOPS, a pixel rate of 179.2 GPixel/s, and a texture rate of 358.4 GTexel/s. In benchmark tests, the 8050S scores 65818 in Geekbench OpenCL and 58398 in Geekbench Vulkan, averaging 62108 overall and ranking at the 89th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals — the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 61896 (0.3% behind), AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63693 (2.5% ahead), AMD Radeon RX 7600M at 63775 (2.6% ahead), and AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP at 63830 (2.7% ahead) — show that the 8050S sits at the lower end of its performance cluster.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is most evident in the scaling of frame rates across resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 156 FPS, but at 4K Low it drops to 57 FPS — a 63.5% reduction that highlights the GPU's bandwidth and shading limitations at higher pixel counts. The system-shared memory arrangement means the GPU competes with the CPU for memory bandwidth, which becomes more critical at 4K where the framebuffer demands increase substantially. The 32 ray tracing cores are present in the hardware, though Fivem's rendering workload is primarily rasterization-based.

The performance delta between Low and Ultra at each resolution provides insight into the GPU's scaling behavior. At 1080p, the gap from Low (156 FPS) to Ultra (76 FPS) is 80 FPS, while at 1440p it narrows to 53 FPS (103 to 50), and at 4K it narrows further to 29 FPS (57 to 28). This pattern indicates that as resolution increases, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, and the settings preset has a proportionally smaller impact on absolute frame rates. The GPU's 89th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests it is a capable integrated solution, but its shared memory architecture limits its ability to maintain high frame rates at demanding settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear picture of how each settings preset performs across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 156 FPS average, which is the highest frame rate recorded for this combo. The Medium preset achieves 123 FPS with a minimum of 105 FPS and maximum of 142 FPS, offering a substantial improvement in visual quality while maintaining a frame rate well above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset drops to 99 FPS, and Ultra falls to 76 FPS, both of which remain playable but with diminishing returns relative to the visual uplift.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset produces 103 FPS, Medium delivers 81 FPS (min 69, max 93), High achieves 65 FPS, and Ultra drops to 50 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p is the recommended choice for users prioritizing smooth gameplay with moderate visual fidelity, as the 69 FPS minimum ensures consistent performance without noticeable stuttering. The High preset at 65 FPS is also viable for users who prefer better image quality over the slight frame rate advantage of Medium.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset produces 57 FPS, Medium delivers 45 FPS (min 38, max 52), High achieves 36 FPS, and Ultra drops to 28 FPS. None of the presets at 4K reach a consistent 60 FPS, but the Low preset at 57 FPS is the only option that approaches playability. The Medium preset at 45 FPS with a 38 FPS minimum may be acceptable for less demanding users, but frame drops below 40 FPS can be noticeable in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios typical of Fivem.

The data indicates that the Medium preset provides the best balance of frame rate and visual quality across all resolutions. At 1080p, it delivers 123 FPS with a tight 105-142 FPS range; at 1440p, it delivers 81 FPS with a 69-93 FPS range; and at 4K, it delivers 45 FPS with a 38-52 FPS range. The consistent pattern of Medium offering roughly 20-25% higher frame rates than High, while providing better visuals than Low, makes it the recommended preset for this combo. Users with high-refresh-rate 1080p displays may prefer the Low preset for its 156 FPS ceiling, but the Medium preset is the best overall experience per the measured rows.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and AMD Radeon 8050S combination ranks 2210 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 26th percentile of all configurations in the database. This rank reflects the system's overall performance across all measured settings and resolutions. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking and the GPU's 89th percentile ranking individually suggest capable components, but the combo's lower overall rank indicates that their combined performance in Fivem is constrained by specific workload characteristics.

The rank of 2210 means that 795 tested combos perform worse, while 2209 perform better. This places the system in the lower-mid tier, which is consistent with the frame rate data showing playable performance at 1080p and 1440p but significant struggles at 4K. The CPU's strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1743) and the GPU's 89th percentile ranking suggest the components are individually competitive, but the integrated GPU's system-shared memory limits its effectiveness in a game like Fivem that relies heavily on consistent rendering throughput.

Comparing to the nearest rival GPUs, the Radeon 8050S sits 2.5-2.7% behind the Radeon Pro Vega 56, RX 7600M, and RX 9060 XT LP in average benchmark scores. This small performance gap in synthetic benchmarks translates to the measured frame rates in Fivem, where the combo's 1080p High score of 99 FPS and 1440p High score of 65 FPS represent the system's realistic ceiling for quality settings. The 2210 rank out of 3005 combos indicates that users should temper expectations for high-refresh-rate gaming or 4K resolution, but the system remains viable for standard 1080p and 1440p gaming at medium settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates provide a comprehensive view of the combo's performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 156 FPS average, Medium achieves 123 FPS (min 105, max 142), High achieves 99 FPS, and Ultra achieves 76 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 80 FPS, indicating that settings have a substantial impact on performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 103 FPS, Medium delivers 81 FPS (min 69, max 93), High delivers 65 FPS, and Ultra delivers 50 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 53 FPS, showing that the settings impact lessens as resolution increases. The Medium preset's minimum of 69 FPS ensures that the system stays above the 60 FPS threshold during demanding scenes.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset produces 57 FPS, Medium produces 45 FPS (min 38, max 52), High produces 36 FPS, and Ultra produces 28 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 29 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck at this resolution. The Medium preset's minimum of 38 FPS indicates that frame drops below 40 FPS are possible, which can impact gameplay smoothness in multiplayer environments.

The data shows a consistent pattern where each settings tier higher reduces frame rates by approximately 20-30% at 1080p and 1440p, but the absolute reduction narrows at 4K. The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data across all resolutions, providing the most detailed view of frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the 37 FPS range (105-142) suggests some variability, while at 1440p Medium the 24 FPS range (69-93) indicates better consistency, and at 4K Medium the 14 FPS range (38-52) shows the tightest frame times despite the lower average.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals critical information about the system's bottleneck characteristics. At the Low preset, frame rates drop from 156 FPS at 1080p to 103 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 57 FPS at 4K (a 45% reduction from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p to 4K at Low is 63.5%, which is substantial but not as severe as the drops seen at higher settings.

At the Medium preset, frame rates drop from 123 FPS at 1080p to 81 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 45 FPS at 4K (a 44% reduction from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p to 4K at Medium is 63.4%, nearly identical to the Low preset's scaling. This consistency across presets suggests that resolution scaling is primarily driven by the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth limitations, rather than settings-specific effects.

At the High preset, frame rates drop from 99 FPS at 1080p to 65 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 36 FPS at 4K (a 45% reduction from 1440p), for a total drop of 63.6%. At the Ultra preset, frame rates drop from 76 FPS at 1080p to 50 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 28 FPS at 4K (a 44% reduction from 1440p), for a total drop of 63.2%. The remarkable consistency of the percentage drops across all four presets — ranging from 63.2% to 63.6% — indicates that the limiting component scales linearly with pixel count.

This uniform scaling behavior strongly suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, since the GPU takes longer to render each frame, giving the CPU ample time to prepare the next frame. The system-shared memory of the Radeon 8050S exacerbates this bottleneck at 4K, where the framebuffer demands compete with CPU memory access. The data shows that while the combo can deliver high frame rates at 1080p (up to 156 FPS at Low), it cannot maintain playable performance at 4K even at Low settings (57 FPS), confirming that users should target 1080p or 1440p for the best experience with this configuration.
