The Intel Xeon 6369P and Intel Core i9-13905H both score 40,327 and 40,313 respectively, with deltaPct values of 0.3, placing them marginally behind. This tight grouping shows the Ryzen 9 7940H is competitive with current high-end laptop and workstation processors, with less than a 1% difference between all four rivals.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 43,667, placing it in the 84th percentile. Its nearest rivals show a similar clustering, with the RTX A6000 ahead by 0.9% and the Quadro M6000 variants behind by 0.8% to 0.9%. The combined percentile for this CPU+GPU pairing is 86, reflecting the strength of both components. The CPU's 87th percentile is slightly higher than the GPU's 84th, suggesting the processor holds a marginal edge in relative standing compared to the graphics card.

When viewed together, the data shows a system where both components are near the top of their respective categories. The CPU's multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 24,703 is particularly strong for a 35 W TDP part, while the GPU's Passmark G3D score of 27,212 confirms its flagship mobile status. The average benchmark scores of 40,431 for the CPU and 43,667 for the GPU indicate balanced performance levels, with neither component dramatically outclassing the other in aggregate compute capability.

Balance and Bottleneck — which component limits which workload, using percentiles and FPS scaling as evidence

The CPU sits in the 87th percentile while the GPU is in the 84th, a difference of three points that suggests the processor has a slight edge in relative performance.
