However, for the target audience of 1080p gamers and productivity users, this is a balanced and capable system.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between the CPU and GPU is skewed towards the CPU. The CPU’s 83rd percentile is significantly higher than the GPU’s 63rd percentile, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor in most workloads. This is a classic CPU-heavy pairing, where the processor has headroom that the GPU cannot fully utilize.

In gaming, the bottleneck is almost always the GPU. The FPS scaling from 1080p to 1440p to 4K shows this clearly. For example, in Call of Duty: Warzone, the FPS drops from 143 at 1080p to 127 at 1440p to 108 at 4K. While the drop to 4K is significant, the 1080p to 1440p drop is only 16 FPS, suggesting that the CPU is still keeping up at 1440p in this title. However, in more demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077, the FPS drops from 42 at 1080p to 31 at 1440p, a 26% decrease, which indicates the GPU is struggling more.

The CPU bottleneck appears in specific scenarios, such as very high frame rate gaming at 1080p with lower graphical settings. The CPU’s single-thread score of 3,072 in Cinebench R23 is high, but it can still become a limit in games that are heavily CPU-bound. For instance, in Valorant at 1080p, the FPS is 326, which is very high, but the CPU is likely the limiting factor. If a more powerful GPU were installed, the FPS might not increase significantly because the CPU would be the bottleneck.

In productivity workloads, the CPU is the main driver, and the GPU plays a lesser role. The CPU’s multi-thread score of 21,765 will be the primary factor in rendering times, while the GPU’s compute score of 6,554 will only accelerate specific tasks. The data suggests that this is a well-balanced system for its intended purpose, with the GPU being the natural upgrade path to unlock more gaming performance.
