Minecraft

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile appear here as a measured Minecraft pairing. Across the measured FPS rows, the highest average is 584 fps at 1920x1080 Low and the lowest is 76 fps at 3840x2160 Ultra. In the combo ranking, this specific pairing sits at 1191 out of 3710 tested combos.

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

The CPU is a 24-core, 24-thread Arrow Lake-HX processor. It uses TSMC's 3 nm process, has a 2.70 GHz base clock, a 5.40 GHz boost clock, and a 55 W TDP. The shared L3 cache is 36 MB, while L2 is 3 MB per core and L1 is 192 KB per core. The memory path is DDR5 on a dual-channel bus with 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth. These are the specifications that define how much processing headroom the platform can bring to Minecraft.

Single-thread benchmark results are strong: 2204 in Cinebench R23, 2809 in Cinebench R20, 2458 in Geekbench single-core, and 4713 in PassMark single-thread. Multi-thread results are also high: 35589 in Cinebench R23, 19899 in Cinebench R20, 5619.5 in Cinebench R15, 20795 in Geekbench multi-core, and 55759 in PassMark multithread. The aggregate benchmark average is 67469, placing the chip at the 94th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals by average score are the Xeon w5-3525 at 67673 (-0.3%), EPYC 4484PX at 67822 (-0.5%), Threadripper PRO 5955WX at 67868 (-0.6%), and Xeon 6515P at 67006 (+0.7%). Those rivals are all within a narrow band, which means this mobile CPU is competing with server and workstation parts in synthetic workload average.

How does this relate to Minecraft? At 1920x1080 Low, the measured average FPS is 584, the highest value in the entire measured FPS table. That ceiling is consistent with a CPU that has both high single-thread throughput and a high boost clock, because low graphical settings reduce the GPU workload enough for the game's CPU-side work to become the visible boundary. The measured FPS table cannot directly separate core count from core speed, but the single-thread scores and the 5.40 GHz boost clock are present in the data, and they line up with the 584 fps row more closely than with the heavier 4K rows.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The GPU is an AD104 part built on TSMC's 5 nm process with Ada Lovelace architecture. It has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, with 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 1290 MHz, the boost clock is 1665 MHz, and the memory clock is 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The shading complex contains 7424 shading units, 232 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 58 RT cores, and 232 tensor cores. Pixel rate is 133.2 GPixel/s, texture rate is 386.3 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute is 24.72 TFLOPS. The TDP is 110 W, and the API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The GPU's aggregate benchmark average is 38135, which is the 81st percentile of all GPUs. Its listed nearest rivals are the MX570 at 38299 (-0.4%), RTX 5080 Mobile at 38349 (-0.6%), RTX 4070 at 37648 (+1.3%), and Tesla P4 at 37628 (+1.3%). Again, the aggregate scores are very close, so the GPU is not separated from these rivals by a wide margin in synthetic averages.

In Minecraft, the GPU's role becomes clearest when settings move toward the high end. The measured 4K Ultra average is 76 fps, while 4K Medium is 153 fps and 4K Low is 193 fps. At 3840x2160, the spread between Low and Ultra is a direct sign that resolution and shader workload are pressing on the graphics hardware. The 12 GB VRAM configuration is part of the measured platform, though the dataset contains no VRAM usage figures; what the data does show is that the GPU holds an average above 76 fps at every measured 4K preset.

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

The measured FPS table includes 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. For High settings, the average FPS goes from 367 at 1080p, to 232 at 1440p, to 121 at 4K. For Low settings, it goes from 584 to 369 to 193. For Medium, it goes from 463 (min 393, max 532) to 292 (min 248, max 336) to 153 (min 130, max 176). For Ultra, it goes from 230 to 145 to 76.

Every preset follows the same direction: 1080p is the highest measured average, 1440p is next, and 4K is the lowest. The raw progression is enough to identify the limiting component. At 1080p Low, the average is 584; at 4K Ultra, it is 76. Those two measured extremes show a very large spread caused by both resolution and preset changes. As resolution increases, the FPS falls in every measured row, so pixel output is clearly a dominant factor. At low settings and low resolution, the CPU's measured single-thread results and 5.40 GHz boost clock become the more likely ceiling. At 4K Ultra, the 76 fps result shows that the rendering load has shifted firmly onto the GPU.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The in-game ranking lists this combination at 1191 out of 3710. That is the direct answer to where this pairing sits among all tested combos in Minecraft. The context around that rank is more interesting. The CPU alone is at the 94th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU alone is at the 81st percentile of all GPUs. If the two component percentiles were the only drivers, one would expect a very high in-game rank; the observed 1191 suggests Minecraft's measured results are not simply a blend of the two synthetic percentiles.

The nearest-rival data reinforces that point. The CPU's aggregate benchmark score is 67469, with nearest rivals spanning from 67006 to 67868, and deltas from -0.6% to +0.7%. The GPU's aggregate score is 38135, with nearest rivals spanning from 37628 to 38349, and deltas from -0.6% to +1.3%. Those are tight clusters in synthetic average score, while the in-game rank of 1191 out of 3710 is a less flattering placement. The data leaves an unresolved tension: the component averages place the hardware in synthetic territory near server-class peers, but Minecraft places the combo in the middle of the tested field. The measured rows do not provide the distribution of every other combo, so the exact cause of the rank cannot be pinpointed from this pack alone.

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

The only preset in the dataset with min and max FPS values is Medium. At 1920x1080 Medium, the measured average is 463, with min 393 and max 532. At 2560x1440 Medium, the average is 292, with min 248 and max 336. At 3840x2160 Medium, the average is 153, with min 130 and max 176. No other setting row includes min/max data, so Medium is the only preset whose frame consistency can be directly assessed.

At 4K, Medium is also the strongest measured choice by average: 153 fps, versus 193 for Low, 121 for High, and 76 for Ultra. High has no min/max row, so its 121 average cannot be compared on stability. Medium's 130 min provides a floor. At 1440p, Medium's 292 average and 248 min make it the strongest row with a known floor; Low has a higher average of 369 but no min/max, and High is 232. At 1080p, Low has the highest average at 584, but Medium's 463 average comes with min 393 and max 532, making it the best measured option for a consistent high-FPS experience.
