Minecraft

Benchmark results for Minecraft pair the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile. The measured data shows a high-performing combination: average frame rates range from 627 FPS at 1920x1080 Low down to 81 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra. The combo ranks 969th out of 3710 tested combinations, with the data marked as measured.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is a Meteor Lake mobile processor from the Core Ultra Series 1. It has 14 cores and 18 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 and a boost clock of 4.50. The chip has a TDP of 28, uses the Intel BGA 2049 socket, and is built on Intel's 7 nm process. Cache is configured as 112 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3. Memory support is DDR5, dual-channel, with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and the platform uses PCIe Gen 5. The integrated graphics are Arc Xe-LPG 96EU. The chip sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27507. Its launch MSRP was $375.

In CPU benchmarks, the chip posts 12804.5 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1647.5 in Cinebench R23 single-core. Passmark results include 21100 multithread, 3399 single-thread, 69986 integer math, 51670 floating point math, and 14251 data encryption. These scores are relevant because Minecraft's measured frame rates at low resolution are extremely high. The 1920x1080 Low average of 627 FPS is a result that depends on strong single-thread handling, and the measured single-core scores are high enough to support that outcome. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average drops to 81 FPS, which is a much heavier GPU workload; the CPU part of the measured picture is similar while the GPU load rises with resolution and settings.

The chip's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark score, put this in context. The Core Ultra 5 125H's 27507 average is 0.1 percent below the AMD Ryzen 7 5800's 27535, 0.3 percent below the Intel Core i5-12600K's 27578, and 0.3 percent below the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X's 27578. It is 0.5 percent ahead of the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G's 27382. That places the CPU in essentially the same performance class as those desktop parts in aggregate CPU benchmarks, which helps explain why this mobile combo can produce such high Minecraft frame rates.

The NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A scores 38691, and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X scores 38706; the 5080 Mobile trails each by 0.9 percent.

Q: Which measured rows include minimum and maximum FPS?

A: Only the Medium settings rows include min and max values. At 1920x1080 Medium, the range is 422 to 571. At 2560x1440 Medium, the range is 266 to 360. At 3840x2160 Medium, the range is 139 to 188. All other rows list average FPS only.

Q: Does the combo's component percentile align with its game rank?

A: The CPU is at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 81st percentile among all GPUs. A rank of 969 out of 3710 combos is consistent with a system whose two main components are both at upper-middle to high percentile positions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS declines consistently as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 to 3840x2160. On Low settings, the average is 627 at 1920x1080, 396 at 2560x1440, and 207 at 3840x2160. On Medium settings, the average is 496 at 1920x1080, 313 at 2560x1440, and 164 at 3840x2160. On High settings, the average is 394 at 1920x1080, 249 at 2560x1440, and 130 at 3840x2160. On Ultra settings, the average is 246 at 1920x1080, 155 at 2560x1440, and 81 at 3840x2160.

This pattern points to the GPU as the main scaling component. When the pixel count increases, the frame rates fall substantially at every preset. If the CPU were the limiting component, changing resolution would not create this consistent downward shift, because the CPU work for a frame does not grow as much with pixel count. The measured data instead shows a classic GPU-heavy scaling curve: 1920x1080 produces the highest averages, 2560x1440 sits in between, and 3840x2160 produces the lowest averages.

The Medium min/max data reinforces the same conclusion. At 1920x1080 Medium, the minimum is 422 and the maximum is 571. At 2560x1440 Medium, the minimum is 266 and the maximum is 360. At 3840x2160 Medium, the minimum is 139 and the maximum is 188. The entire measured distribution moves down as resolution rises, which is exactly the behavior expected when the GPU is doing progressively more work. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average of 81 FPS is the lowest measured result and indicates that maximum quality at maximum resolution is the most GPU-intensive configuration in the set.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In Minecraft, the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile ranks 969th out of 3710 tested combos. That placement puts the system in the upper portion of the tested field, though not at the very top. The component-level data supports that position: the CPU's 79th percentile and GPU's 81st percentile are close to each other, and the measured FPS numbers are high across all settings.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 27507 puts it in the same neighborhood as its nearest rivals. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is 0.1 percent higher with 27535. The Intel Core i5-12600K and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X are 0.3 percent higher with 27578. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G is 0.5 percent lower with 27382. For Minecraft, the practical difference between these chips is small in aggregate CPU performance, which means the CPU is not an outlier weakening the combo's rank.

The GPU side is similar. The RTX 5080 Mobile's average benchmark score is 38349, which is 0.1 percent above the GeForce MX570's 38299 and 0.6 percent above the RTX 4080 Mobile's 38135. It sits 0.9 percent below the MX570 A's 38691 and 0.9 percent below the Radeon Pro 580X's 38706. In both component comparisons, the deltas are small enough that the part's standing is one of near parity with its closest measured rivals. The combo's 969th-place game rank is therefore a result of how these two components work together in Minecraft, not of a severe CPU or GPU mismatch.

At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 246 at Ultra to 627 at Low. Medium sits at 496, and High sits at 394. At 2560x1440, the average FPS ranges from 155 at Ultra to 396 at Low. Medium sits at 313, and High sits at 249. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 81 at Ultra to 207 at Low. Medium sits at 164, and High sits at 130.

Only the Medium rows include min and max values. The full measured range for Medium is 422 to 571 at 1920x1080, 266 to 360 at 2560x1440, and 139 to 188 at 3840x2160. These are the only min/max values in the data set; all other settings report average FPS only.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Ultra delivers the highest visual quality with averages of 246 FPS at 1920x1080, 155 FPS at 2560x1440, and 81 FPS at 3840x2160. Even the lowest measured Ultra average, 81 FPS at 3840x2160, is well above the High average at that same resolution? No, High at 3840x2160 is 130 FPS, so Ultra is lower than High. The correct comparison is that Ultra remains the highest quality preset in the test set, and its measured averages are still strong.

High is the intermediate preset. At 1920x1080 it averages 394 FPS, at 2560x1440 it averages 249 FPS, and at 3840x2160 it averages 130 FPS. These are consistently higher averages than Ultra at every resolution, while still being lower than Medium and Low.

Low produces the highest frame rates in the measured data: 627 FPS at 1920x1080, 396 FPS at 2560x1440, and 207 FPS at 3840x2160. This is the best choice when maximum frame output is the goal, since every other preset is slower at each resolution.

Medium is the most interesting setting for consistency. It averages 496 FPS at 1920x1080, 313 FPS at 2560x1440, and 164 FPS at 3840x2160. Its minimums are 422, 266, and 139 respectively. Those minimums are important because at every resolution, the Medium minimum is higher than the High preset's average at the same resolution: 422 is above 394, 266 is above 249, and 139 is above 130. That means Medium has a tighter measured floor than High, according to the data.

If the priority is maximum frame rate, Low is the recommended measured preset. If the priority is visual quality with still high frame rates, Ultra remains viable from the measured numbers. If the priority is a high average combined with a strong minimum, Medium is the stand-out preset: it keeps every measured minimum above 139 FPS while delivering 164 FPS or better at every resolution.
