This is a laptop-class pairing built around AMD’s 8-core Zen 4 mobile flagship and NVIDIA’s top-end Blackwell mobile GPU. The data shows a combined percentile of 86, placing this configuration above the vast majority of systems in the benchmark database. The CPU holds an 87th percentile rank among all processors, while the GPU sits at an 84th percentile rank among all graphics cards. This is a high-end mobile platform where both major components are near the top of their respective performance hierarchies, though the CPU and GPU comparison sets differ significantly in their competitive context.

CPU Analysis

The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Phoenix. It is manufactured on TSMC’s 4 nm process node, with a die size of 178 mm² containing 25,000 million transistors. The base clock is 4.00 GHz with a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, and the chip carries a 35 W TDP, which is notably low for a high-performance mobile processor. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache.

Benchmark results show a strong single-threaded capability. In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 3,487 points in single-core and 24,703 in multi-core. The R20 results are 1,464 single-core and 10,375 multi-core, while R15 shows 351 single-core and 2,490 multi-core. These scores indicate that the processor scales well across rendering workloads, with multi-core performance roughly seven times the single-core figure in R23, which is consistent with an 8-core/16-thread design executing at high sustained clocks.

The PassMark suite reinforces this picture. The single-thread score is 3,952, while multithreaded performance reaches 29,063. Integer math scores 101,977, floating-point math scores 62,057, and extended instructions score 26,804. Data compression scores 352,077, while data encryption scores 21,096. The processor finds prime numbers at a score of 81, random string sorting at 42,093, and physics at 1,300. These results show a balanced architecture that handles both integer-heavy and floating-point-heavy workloads without a significant weakness.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the CPU’s overall standing. The Intel Xeon 6507P posts an average score of 40,426, which is 0% different from the Ryzen 9 7940H’s average benchmark score of 40,431. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H scores 40,518, a 0.2% difference. The Intel Xeon 6369P scores 40,327, a 0.3% difference, and the Intel Core i9-13905H scores 40,313, also a 0.3% difference. This clustering indicates that the Ryzen 9 7940H sits in a tightly contested performance band where the top mobile and server-class processors are separated by fractions of a percent.

The 4 nm process and 35 W TDP are notable data points. The low power envelope relative to the performance scores suggests a highly efficient architecture, which matters for sustained workloads in a laptop chassis. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth on a dual-channel DDR5 interface is a defining constraint for this processor, as it will influence how quickly data can feed both the CPU cores and the integrated Radeon 780M graphics.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU’s average benchmark score is 40,431, placing it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs. This is a strong position, but the nearest rivals show that it is not a dominant one. The Intel Xeon 6507P matches it exactly at 40,426 with a 0% delta, meaning the Ryzen 9 7940H is effectively tied with a Xeon server part in aggregate performance. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H is 0.2% ahead, and the Intel Xeon 6369P and Core i9-13905H are 0.3% ahead. The conclusion from the data is that the 7940H is a top-tier mobile CPU, but it does not hold a decisive lead over its closest competitors.

The GPU presents a different competitive landscape. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile has an average benchmark score of 45,152, placing it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT at 45,384, which is 0.5% ahead, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti at 44,795, which is 0.8% behind. The Intel Arc A730M scores 45,592, 1% ahead, and the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation scores 45,972, 1.8% ahead. This places the RTX 5090 Mobile in a competitive band with desktop-class GPUs from the previous generation, which is remarkable for a mobile part.

Specific GPU benchmark scores include a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,871, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 201,834, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 198,405. PassMark results show a G3D score of 30,034 and a GPU compute score of 13,401. The DirectX 10, 11, 12, and 9 scores are 183, 269, 138, and 324 respectively, while the G2D score is 1,057. The compute scores are particularly strong, indicating that the GPU is well-suited for tasks beyond traditional rasterization.

The combined picture shows a system where the GPU is the stronger component relative to its peer group. The CPU is competitive but clustered tightly with rivals, while the GPU is also tightly clustered but with more variance in the scores of its rivals. The combined percentile of 86 reflects a high overall standing, but the data does not support a claim of dominance in either component category. The system is a high-end laptop configuration that will perform well in most workloads, but it is not the absolute fastest in every metric.

Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this CPU+GPU combination. There are no rows in the measuredFpsUltraByGame field, and the dataIsMeasured flag is false. Therefore, all frame rate figures in this section are estimates based on the benchmark scores, not measured results.

The GPU’s 84th percentile rank and its benchmark scores suggest strong gaming capability. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,871 indicates that the DirectX 12 rendering pipeline is well-optimized, and the Geekbench Vulkan score of 198,405 suggests strong Vulkan performance. The PassMark DirectX 12 score of 138 is lower than the DirectX 11 score of 269, which is an unusual pattern that may indicate driver-specific behavior in that particular benchmark, but it is not necessarily indicative of real-world gaming performance.

At 1080p and 1440p resolutions, the CPU’s single-thread score of 3,487 in Cinebench R23 and PassMark single-thread score of 3,952 should be sufficient to feed the GPU in most titles. The 8-core/16-thread configuration provides ample headroom for modern games that utilize multiple threads. The 24 GB of GDDR7 memory on the GPU is a large allocation that reduces the likelihood of running into memory capacity limits at high resolutions or with high-resolution texture packs.

At 4K resolution, the GPU’s memory bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s becomes the critical factor. The 256-bit bus and 28 Gbps effective memory speed provide substantial bandwidth, but the demands of 4K gaming with ultra settings will still test the GPU’s limits. The RTX 5090 Mobile’s FP32 performance of 31.80 TFLOPS and its 82 RT cores suggest that both rasterized and ray-traced workloads will see strong performance, but the exact frame rates will depend on the specific game and optimization level.

Given the absence of measured data, the estimates are as follows: at 1080p ultra settings, the system should deliver very high frame rates in most titles, likely exceeding 100 FPS in competitive shooters and dropping to 60–80 FPS in demanding single-player titles. At 1440p ultra, the frame rates will be lower but still playable, with most games staying above 60 FPS. At 4K ultra, the system will struggle in the most demanding titles and may require DLSS or reduced settings to maintain 60 FPS. These are estimates, and the actual performance will vary based on the specific game, driver version, and laptop cooling solution.

Who Should Build It

The data defines a clear target user for this configuration. The CPU’s 87th percentile rank and the GPU’s 84th percentile rank mean that this laptop is built for users who need high performance in both CPU-bound and GPU-bound workloads. The 8-core/16-thread Zen 4 processor with a 5.20 GHz boost clock is suitable for content creation, software development, and multitasking. The 24 GB GPU memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth are suited for rendering, video editing, and large dataset processing.

Gamers at 1440p and 4K resolutions are a primary audience. The GPU’s strong benchmark scores, particularly the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,871, indicate that the system can handle modern games at high settings. The 82 RT cores provide hardware acceleration for ray-traced effects, which is increasingly common in AAA titles. However, the lack of measured FPS data means that gamers should temper expectations and not assume the system will run every game at maximum settings without compromise.

Content creators who work with video editing, 3D rendering, or machine learning will benefit from the combination of the CPU’s multi-threaded performance and the GPU’s compute capabilities. The PassMark GPU compute score of 13,401 and the Geekbench OpenCL score of 201,834 indicate strong compute throughput. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 24,703 provides sufficient rendering power for most tasks, though it will not rival workstation-class desktop processors.

Students and small business users who need a portable system for development, data analysis, or general productivity will find the 35 W CPU TDP and the integrated Radeon 780M graphics useful for battery-saving tasks. The integrated graphics can handle light workloads without engaging the discrete GPU, which extends battery life. However, this configuration is clearly aimed at users who will use the discrete GPU regularly, as the 95 W TDP of the RTX 5090 Mobile is a significant power draw.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a generally balanced configuration, but the bottleneck characteristics differ by workload. In CPU-bound tasks, the Ryzen 9 7940H’s 87th percentile rank indicates strong performance, but the nearest rivals show that it is not far ahead of the competition. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H is 0.2% ahead, and the Intel Core i9-13905H is 0.3% ahead. This means that in workloads that are heavily single-threaded, the CPU may not have a decisive advantage, and the GPU will not be the limiting factor.

In GPU-bound tasks, the RTX 5090 Mobile’s 84th percentile rank is slightly lower than the CPU’s 87th percentile. This suggests that in gaming at high resolutions, the GPU is more likely to be the limiting component. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,871 and the PassMark G3D score of 30,034 are strong, but the nearest rivals include the desktop-class RTX 4070 Ti, which is only 0.8% behind. This indicates that the RTX 5090 Mobile is not a massive leap over previous-generation desktop parts, and games that are heavily GPU-bound will see the GPU as the bottleneck.

The FPS scaling evidence is absent due to the lack of measured data, but the benchmark scores provide a proxy. The CPU’s single-thread score of 3,952 in PassMark and 3,487 in Cinebench R23 indicate that it can handle high frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. The GPU’s memory bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s and FP32 performance of 31.80 TFLOPS indicate that it can process large amounts of graphical data. The balance is such that in most gaming scenarios, the GPU will be the limiting factor at high resolutions, while the CPU will be the limiting factor in scenarios with very high frame rates at low resolutions.

The 35 W CPU TDP and 95 W GPU TDP are data points that suggest thermal and power constraints. In a laptop chassis, the cooling solution will determine whether both components can sustain their boost clocks simultaneously. The data does not include thermal throttling information, but the power envelope suggests that sustained all-core CPU workloads may cause the GPU to reduce its boost clock, or vice versa, depending on the thermal design.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile is based on the GB203 chip with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, manufactured on TSMC’s 5 nm process. The die size is 378 mm² with 45,600 million transistors, giving a transistor density of 120.6 million per mm². The base clock is 990 MHz with a boost clock of 1,515 MHz, and the memory clock is 1,750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed.

The memory subsystem is a defining feature. The GPU has 24 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is a substantial allocation for a mobile GPU, and the bandwidth is higher than many desktop parts. The memory size is particularly relevant for content creation and AI workloads, where large datasets can exceed the VRAM capacity of smaller GPUs.

The GPU has 10,496 shading units, 328 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. It also has 82 RT cores and 328 tensor cores. The pixel rate is 169.7 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 496.9 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 31.80 TFLOPS, with FP16 performance also at 31.80 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. These specifications indicate a GPU that is designed for both traditional rasterization and compute-heavy workloads.

The benchmark scores confirm this dual purpose. The PassMark GPU compute score of 13,401 and the Geekbench OpenCL score of 201,834 are strong indicators of compute performance. The Vulkan score of 198,405 suggests that the GPU handles modern graphics APIs well. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,871 is a solid result for a mobile GPU, though the nearest rival data shows that it is not dramatically faster than the RTX 4070 Ti, which scores 44,795 on average.

The 95 W TDP is a critical constraint. This is a relatively low power envelope for a GPU with this level of performance, which means that the clock speeds are likely to be power-limited in sustained workloads. The boost clock of 1,515 MHz is modest compared to desktop GPUs, and the base clock of 990 MHz is low. This suggests that the GPU’s performance is achieved through high core counts and memory bandwidth rather than high clocks, and that sustained performance may be lower than peak performance in thermally constrained laptop chassis.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H uses the AMD Socket FP8, which is a mobile-specific socket. The processor supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and it supports ECC memory. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the GPU uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface. This mismatch between CPU and GPU PCIe generations is notable; the CPU’s PCIe Gen 4 lanes will limit the GPU’s PCIe 5.0 connection to Gen 4 speeds, though this is unlikely to be a significant bottleneck in most workloads.

The platform supports DDR5 memory, and the dual-channel configuration with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth is a fixed constraint. Upgrading memory capacity is possible, but the bandwidth is determined by the memory bus and cannot be increased without changing the processor. The 35 W CPU TDP and 95 W GPU TDP indicate that the system’s power delivery is designed for this specific range, and the GPU has no power connectors listed, meaning it draws power through the motherboard.

The upgrade path for this laptop is limited by the socket and the integrated nature of the components. The CPU is not upgradeable because it is soldered to the motherboard in most laptop designs, and the GPU is also typically soldered. The memory is the most likely upgradeable component, and the storage can be upgraded via PCIe Gen 4 lanes. The data does not include information about storage slots or the number of M.2 slots, so the upgrade path is not fully defined.

A sensible next upgrade for this system would be increasing the memory capacity if the current configuration has less than the maximum supported. The GPU’s 24 GB of VRAM is already substantial, and the CPU’s 16 threads are sufficient for most workloads. The platform’s PCIe Gen 4 CPU lanes and PCIe 5.0 GPU interface suggest that the system is not bandwidth-constrained in a way that would benefit from a component swap, which is expected for a laptop where components are not user-replaceable.

Build Overview

This is a laptop-class build, as indicated by the buildClass field, combining the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile. The CPU is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 processor with a 5.20 GHz boost clock and a 35 W TDP, ranking in the 87th percentile of all CPUs. The GPU is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture part with 24 GB of GDDR7 memory, 896.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 31.80 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, ranking in the 84th percentile of all GPUs.

The combined percentile of 86 places this system in the upper tier of the benchmark database. The data shows that the CPU is competitive with the Intel Xeon 6507P, Intel Core Ultra X7 368H, Intel Xeon 6369P, and Intel Core i9-13905H, all of which are within 0.3% of the Ryzen 9 7940H’s average score. The GPU is competitive with the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, Intel Arc A730M, and NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation, with deltas ranging from -1.8% to 0.8%.

The overall tier of this system is high-end mobile. The CPU’s 35 W TDP and the GPU’s 95 W TDP indicate a power-efficient design that balances performance with thermal constraints. The absence of measured FPS data means that gaming performance is estimated from benchmark scores, but the combination of a high-percentile CPU and GPU suggests that this system is capable of handling demanding workloads across gaming, content creation, and compute-intensive tasks. The data does not support a claim that this is the fastest laptop configuration available, but it does indicate that it is among the top 14% of systems in the database, making it a strong choice for users who need high performance in a portable form factor.
