The build under analysis pairs an Intel Core i5-13500TE with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, a desktop combination that couples a 14-core low-power processor with a high-end Ada Lovelace graphics card. The CPU sits at the 59th percentile among all processors, while the GPU reaches the 86th percentile, and the combined system percentile is 73. The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this exact combination, so all FPS discussion in this analysis is estimated from the benchmark scores rather than direct measurements.

GPU Analysis — VRAM, bandwidth, clocks, RT/tensor hardware, what the benchmark scores mean for rendering

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5nm process by TSMC. The AD103 chip contains 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 121.1 million per square millimeter. The GPU has 9,728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, along with 76 ray tracing cores and 304 tensor cores. The boost clock reaches 2505 MHz, with a base clock of 2205 MHz. Memory runs at 1400 MHz, which translates to 22.4 Gbps effective, across a 256-bit bus, providing 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. The card holds 16 GB of GDDR6X VRAM.

For rendering workloads, the raw compute numbers are substantial. The FP32 throughput is 48.74 TFLOPS, and FP16 is the same at 48.74 TFLOPS (1:1). Pixel fill rate is 280.6 GPixel/s and texture fill rate is 761.5 GTexel/s. The 76 RT cores support hardware-accelerated ray tracing, while the 304 tensor cores handle AI-accelerated workloads. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 6,567 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 214,739 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 263,779 in Geekbench Vulkan. PassMark G3D yields 34,457, and GPU compute scores 20,671.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 54,247, placing it at the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER with an average score of 54,209 (0.1% difference), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54,828 (−1.1%), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55,698 (−2.6%), and the AMD Radeon 8060S at 55,757 (−2.7%). The RTX 4080 sits essentially even with the 4080 SUPER, slightly behind the Radeon cards by a few percent, but all are within a narrow band. This means the GPU is a top-tier rendering part, especially for ray-traced scenes and AI-enhanced rendering pipelines that leverage the tensor cores. The 16 GB VRAM is generous for high-resolution textures and large scenes. The launch MSRP of this GPU is 1,199 USD.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's Cinebench R15 multicore score is 1,743 and single-core is 246. In R20, the multicore score is 7,263 and single-core is 1,025. The R23 results are 17,294 for multicore and 2,441 for single-core. The CPU's average benchmark score is 5,002, which places it at the 59th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650G (average score 5,002, 0% delta), the Intel Core i3-12300HE (4,995, 0.1% delta), the Intel Xeon W-2150B (4,992, 0.2% delta), and the Intel Core i7-1375PRE (4,985, 0.3% delta). The CPU is effectively tied with these four parts, all within a 0.3% window.

The GPU, as noted, sits at the 86th percentile with an average score of 54,247. The combined picture is a system that has a very strong GPU but a CPU that is only around the middle of the CPU distribution. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 6,567 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 263,779 indicate a high level of graphical compute capability. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore of 17,294 is respectable, but its single-core of 2,441 is far from the top. The CPU is a low-power part with a 35W TDP, so the benchmark scores reflect that design point.

Balance and Bottleneck

The CPU's 59th percentile and the GPU's 86th percentile reveal a clear imbalance. The GPU is a high-end part, while the CPU is mid-range. In CPU-bound workloads, the CPU will limit the GPU's full potential. For instance, in light 1080p gaming where the GPU is not fully stressed, the CPU's single-core performance (Cinebench R23 single-core 2,441) may become the limiting factor. The CPU's low base clock of 1.3 GHz and 35W TDP indicate a power-constrained design that may not sustain high clocks under heavy multi-threaded loads.

In contrast, in GPU-bound workloads like 4K gaming or rendering, the GPU will be the primary performance driver. The GPU's 86th percentile and its high compute throughput (48.74 TFLOPS FP32) will dominate. The CPU's multicore score of 17,294 is sufficient to feed the GPU in many scenarios, but the 35W TDP may cause the CPU to throttle under sustained all-core loads, which could affect frame pacing in CPU-heavy titles. The FPS scaling in games will depend heavily on resolution and settings; at higher resolutions, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, while at lower resolutions, the CPU is more likely to be the constraint.

The CPU's memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5, with dual-channel operation. This memory bandwidth can be a factor in CPU-bound scenarios. The GPU uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, which is a generation older than the CPU's PCIe Gen 5 lanes, but the GPU's bandwidth is unlikely to be a limiting factor in most games. The GPU's suggested power supply is 700W, while the CPU's TDP is 35W, so the power supply headroom is primarily dictated by the GPU's 320W TDP.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU is based on the Intel Socket 1700 platform and uses the Raptor Lake architecture. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel operation and ECC memory. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770. The CPU is not multiplier-unlocked, so overclocking is not officially supported. The GPU uses PCIe 4.0 x16, which is fully compatible with the CPU's PCIe Gen 5 slot, though the GPU itself only supports Gen 4.

The GPU is a triple-slot card measuring 310 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width, requiring 1x 16-pin power connector. The suggested PSU is 700W, and the GPU's TDP is 320W. The CPU's 35W TDP is low, leaving substantial power headroom for the GPU and other components. The GPU's production status is end-of-life, with the successor being GeForce 50 series. The CPU's production status is active, and its release date is January 3, 2023.

The platform supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, so users can choose either. The CPU's ECC support makes it suitable for workstation workloads that require error correction. For a sensible next upgrade, the GPU is already at a high tier, so the CPU would be the first candidate to replace if seeking better CPU-bound performance. The socket and memory support allow for a drop-in CPU upgrade within the 13th-generation or possibly other LGA1700 parts, but the FACT PACK does not list specific compatibility beyond the socket.

Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this exact CPU+GPU combination, so the following FPS discussion is estimated from the benchmark scores. The GPU's 86th percentile and high compute scores indicate that at 1440p and 4K, the GPU will be the dominant factor in most games. The CPU's 59th percentile and single-core score of 2,441 in Cinebench R23 suggest that at 1080p, the CPU may limit frame rates in titles that rely heavily on single-thread performance. The GPU's 16 GB of VRAM is more than enough for high-resolution textures, and the 716.8 GB/s bandwidth supports high fill rates. The 76 RT cores enable ray tracing, and the 304 tensor cores enable DLSS, which can boost frame rates by rendering at a lower resolution and upscaling.

In GPU-bound scenarios, the RTX 4080 is likely to deliver very high frame rates at 1440p and 4K with ultra settings. The CPU's multicore score of 17,294 in R23 indicates that it can handle the background tasks and physics in most games, but the low TDP of 35W may cause the CPU to throttle under sustained loads, which could affect frame stability. The system is better suited for high-resolution gaming where the GPU is the primary driver, rather than competitive 1080p gaming where the CPU's single-core performance would be more critical.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i5-13500U is a 13th-generation Raptor Lake desktop processor with 14 cores and 20 threads. The architecture is Raptor Lake-S, manufactured on a 10nm process by Intel. The die size is 215 mm². The base clock is 1.3 GHz, and the boost clock is 4.5 GHz. The TDP is 35W, which is a low-power design. The CPU has a cache hierarchy of 80 KB per core L1, 1.25 MB per core L2, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel, and ECC is supported. The CPU integrates UHD Graphics 770. The PCIe interface is Gen 5, 16 lanes from the CPU only. The multiplier is locked, and the part number is SRMFZ.

The CPU's benchmark scores are consistent with a mid-range desktop chip. The R23 multicore score of 17,294 is respectable for a 35W part, and the single-core score of 2,441 is average. The 59th percentile indicates that the CPU is roughly in the middle of the pack among all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650G, has an identical average score of 5,002, meaning these two chips offer similar overall performance. The CPU's low TDP suggests that it is designed for power-sensitive builds, possibly in compact or office-oriented systems, but it is still paired here with a high-end GPU. The launch MSRP of this CPU is $235.

Build Overview

This build is a desktop system that pairs a low-power Intel Core i5-13500U with a high-end NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080. The combined percentile is 73, which reflects the stronger GPU pulling the overall system above the CPU's individual 59th percentile. The CPU is a mid-tier processor with 14 cores and 20 threads, while the GPU is a top-tier graphics card with 16 GB of VRAM and 76 RT cores. The GPU is end-of-life, while the CPU is still active. The pairing is unusual in that the CPU's TDP of 35W is far below the GPU's 320W, making the GPU the dominant component in terms of power and performance. The system is overall a high-performance desktop with a powerful GPU and a modest CPU, which will shine in GPU-heavy tasks like 4K gaming and rendering but may be held back in CPU-bound scenarios.

Who Should Build It

This combination is suited for users who prioritize GPU performance over CPU performance. Gamers who play at 1440p or 4K with high/ultra settings will benefit from the RTX 4080's high frame rates, while the CPU will not be a major limiting factor at these resolutions. Content creators who work with 4K video editing, 3D rendering, or GPU-accelerated effects will use the GPU's 16 GB VRAM and 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 compute. The CPU's 14 cores and 20 threads can handle video encoding and multitasking. Developers who compile large codebases will find the CPU's multicore score of 17,294 useful, though a higher-tier CPU would be faster. Students and small business users who run office applications and light coding will not need the GPU's power, but the CPU's low 35W TDP is efficient for a compact build. The ECC memory support is a plus for workstation users who require data integrity.
