# AMD Ryzen 7 8700F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

This pairing combines AMD's 8-core Zen 4 desktop processor with NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace-based RTX 4070 graphics card, creating a desktop build that sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPU+GPU combinations. The CPU and GPU each hold strong individual positions—the Ryzen 7 8700F ranks in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, while the RTX 4070 ranks in the 81st percentile of all GPUs—suggesting a well-matched duo where neither component dramatically overshadows the other. Notably, the FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this exact combination, so all gaming performance figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores of each component.

CPU Analysis

The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix codename, manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 4.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, backed by a 65 W TDP. The chip carries 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. This is a desktop-class processor on the AMD Socket AM5 platform, with dual-channel DDR5 memory support and 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The CPU has no integrated graphics, which means the RTX 4070 is the sole display output source.

Benchmark results reveal a processor that scales well with thread count. The 3DMark scores progress from 1008 in single-thread to 1989 in 2-thread, 3839 in 4-thread, 6559 in 8-thread, and peak at 7883 in 16-thread tests. The jump from 8-thread to 16-thread is modest (from 6559 to 7883, a 20% gain), indicating that the additional threads beyond 8 provide diminishing returns in this workload—a pattern consistent with a CPU where the physical cores do most of the heavy lifting and simultaneous multithreading adds a secondary boost. The max-thread score of 7861 is nearly identical to the 16-thread score, confirming that the processor is fully utilized at 16 threads.

Cinebench results reinforce this picture. The R23 multicore score of 26646 is substantial for an 8-core part, while the R23 single-core score of 3761 indicates strong per-thread performance. The ratio between multicore and single-core scores (26646 / 3761 ≈ 7.1x) shows that the CPU achieves near-linear scaling across its 8 physical cores, with the remaining gains from threading. Geekbench scores of 13523 multicore and 2290 single-core follow the same trend. PassMark results show the CPU excelling in integer math (100371) and floating-point math (62629), while data compression (378160) and encryption (22117) scores suggest solid performance for file archiving and secure data tasks. The average benchmark score of 30746 places it at the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS (30879, 0.4% higher), Intel Core i5-13600H (30548, 0.6% lower), Intel Core Ultra 5 225T (30468, 0.9% lower), and Intel Core i7-13700TE (31028, 0.9% higher). This clustering within 1% of four different rivals indicates the 8700F sits in a tightly contested performance band where small workload differences can flip the ranking.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between this CPU and GPU can be assessed by comparing their percentile positions and benchmark scores. The CPU's average benchmark score of 30746 and the GPU's average of 37648 suggest the GPU has a higher raw compute ceiling, but the percentile rankings (82nd for CPU, 81st for GPU) indicate they occupy nearly identical positions relative to their respective markets. This alignment suggests neither component is an obvious bottleneck for the other in most workloads.

The 3DMark CPU scores provide insight into thread scaling that matters for gaming. The 16-thread score of 7883 versus the 8-thread score of 6559 shows a 20% improvement from adding threads, meaning games that utilize more than 8 threads will see measurable gains. However, the single-thread score of 1008 is relatively low compared to the multi-thread scores, which could matter for games that are heavily single-thread-bound. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 indicates strong DirectX 12 performance, and when paired with the CPU's 16-thread capability, modern games that leverage DX12's multi-threaded rendering will likely see balanced utilization.

For CPU-bound scenarios like physics simulation, the PassMark physics score of 1553 is the weakest CPU result, suggesting that heavy physics-based games could strain the processor. Conversely, the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 26927 is strong, meaning graphics-bound scenes should be handled comfortably. The data suggests a system where the CPU handles general game logic and physics adequately, while the GPU dominates visual rendering—a typical and healthy balance for a gaming desktop. The combined percentile of 82, matching the CPU's individual percentile, hints that the CPU is the slight limiting factor in this pairing, but the near-equal GPU percentile (81) means the gap is minimal.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using the AD104 chip, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. It operates with a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The card features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU contains 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores. Its compute capabilities include 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 (1:1) performance, with pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s.

Benchmark scores for the RTX 4070 show strong DirectX performance across the board. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 indicates solid modern API performance. PassMark results show DirectX 11 scoring highest at 244, followed by DirectX 10 at 139, DirectX 9 at 320, and DirectX 12 at 103—an unusual pattern where older APIs score higher, likely reflecting driver optimization or workload characteristics. The Geekbench scores of 154858 (OpenCL) and 174152 (Vulkan) reveal excellent compute performance, with Vulkan outpacing OpenCL by about 12%, suggesting the card is well-suited to Vulkan-based applications. The PassMark G3D score of 26927 ranks the GPU at the 81st percentile, while the GPU compute score of 14720 indicates substantial parallel processing capability.

The nearest rivals to the RTX 4070 are the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628, 0.1% higher), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507, 0.4% higher), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135, 1.3% higher), and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (37157, 1.3% lower). The RTX 4070's average benchmark score of 37648 positions it within 1.3% of these competitors, meaning the card is in a tight performance cluster where specific workloads can shift the order. The 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for ray tracing and AI-assisted rendering, which is reflected in the strong compute scores but not directly measured in the standard benchmarks.
