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

The NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation is a workstation-class GPU built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. The die is substantial: 76,300 million transistors across a 609 mm² package, yielding a transistor density of 125.3 million per square millimeter. This is a dual-slot card measuring 267 mm in length and 112 mm in height, requiring a 600 W suggested power supply and a single 16-pin power connector. Display output is handled by four DisplayPort 1.4a connectors.

Memory configuration is generous: 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). This produces a bandwidth of 576.0 GB/s. For context, that bandwidth figure is the single most important number for large dataset manipulation, texture streaming, and high-resolution rendering workloads. The 32 GB capacity means the card can hold entire 8K texture sets, massive neural network weights, or full 3D scenes in VRAM without spilling to system memory.

The compute configuration is equally imposing. The GPU packs 12,800 shading units, 400 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output units. Ray tracing is handled by 100 dedicated RT cores, while 400 tensor cores accelerate AI and deep learning inference. The raw throughput numbers are striking: FP32 performance reaches 65.28 TFLOPS, with FP16 matching at 65.28 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio). Pixel fill rate is 448.8 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 1,020.0 GTexel/s. Clock speeds are 1155 MHz base and 2550 MHz boost.

The benchmark scores place this GPU in rarefied air. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 175,286; in Vulkan, it scores 194,041. The average benchmark score is 184,664, which puts the card in the 98th percentile of all GPUs. That is a top-2% finish globally. The nearest rivals are illuminating: the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB scores 183,725 (0.5% behind), the A100 SXM4 40 GB scores 187,147 (1.3% ahead), the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell scores 182,109 (1.4% behind), and the GeForce RTX 4090 D scores 178,050 (3.7% behind). The RTX 5000 Ada Generation essentially trades blows with data-center-grade accelerators, sitting within a few percentage points of each.

For rendering workloads, these numbers translate directly. The 65.28 TFLOPS FP32 throughput handles massive polygon counts and complex shader work. The 100 RT cores accelerate ray-traced reflections, global illumination, and shadows. The 400 tensor cores power DLSS-style upscaling and AI denoising. With 32 GB of VRAM, even the most texture-heavy architectural visualizations or film-grade VFX scenes fit comfortably. The 576.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures the shading units and RT cores never starve for data.

# Benchmark Performance — exact CPU and GPU scores, percentile positions, and what the combined picture is

The CPU, an Intel Core i5-13500TE, delivers a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1,743 and single-core of 246. Moving to Cinebench R20, the multicore score rises to 7,263 with single-core at 1,025. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score reaches 17,294 and single-core hits 2,441. The average benchmark score across all tests is 5,002, placing the CPU in the 59th percentile of all processors. That is squarely mid-pack — a solid mainstream performer, not a flagship.

The CPU's nearest rivals show how tightly grouped this segment is. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650G matches the i5-13500TE exactly with an average score of 5,002 (0% delta). The Intel Core i3-12300HE comes in at 4,995 (0.1% behind), the Intel Xeon W-2150B at 4,992 (0.2% behind), and the Intel Core i7-1375PRE at 4,985 (0.3% behind). The i5-13500TE sits in a cluster where a 0.3% swing separates it from competitors.

The GPU, as detailed above, is a different story. With an average benchmark score of 184,664 and a 98th percentile ranking, the RTX 5000 Ada Generation is an elite-tier component. The combined percentile for this CPU+GPU pairing is 79, reflecting the imbalance: a top-2% GPU paired with a mid-pack CPU.

The combined picture is one of GPU-dominated performance. In any workload that stresses the graphics card — rendering, ray tracing, AI inference — the system will perform at near-flagship levels. In CPU-bound tasks like compilation, spreadsheet manipulation, or lightweight multitasking, the system will perform competently but unremarkably. The benchmark data shows a 39-percentage-point gap between the GPU's percentile (98) and the CPU's percentile (59). That gap is the defining characteristic of this build.

# CPU Analysis — cores, clocks, architecture, what the benchmark scores mean for real workloads

The Intel Core i5-13500TE is a 14-core, 20-thread processor built on the Raptor Lake architecture (Raptor Lake-S codename). It uses Intel's 10 nm process node with a die size of 215 mm². The base clock is 1,300 MHz, boosting to 4,500 MHz. This is a 35 W TDP part — a low-power variant designed for thermally constrained systems. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, with ECC memory support. It uses the Intel Socket 1700 and provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics are handled by UHD Graphics 770. The processor launched on January 3, 2023, with a launch MSRP of $235. The multiplier is locked, meaning no overclocking. The part number is SRMFZ.

Cache hierarchy is as follows: 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The 14 cores are split between performance and efficiency cores — a hybrid design that balances throughput against power draw. The 20 threads come from the performance cores supporting hyper-threading.

The Cinebench scores tell a clear story. The R23 multicore score of 17,294 indicates strong multi-threaded performance for a 35 W part. That is enough for serious productivity work — video encoding, 3D scene assembly, software compilation — though it will not compete with high-core-count workstation CPUs. The R23 single-core score of 2,441 is respectable, indicating snappy responsiveness for everyday tasks and decent performance in lightly-threaded applications.

The 59th percentile ranking means this CPU outperforms a majority of all processors in the database, but it is not a standout. In real-world terms, the i5-13500TE is a capable mid-range workhorse. The low 35 W TDP is the standout feature — it enables quiet, compact, low-heat builds that still deliver competent multi-core performance. The R15, R20, and R23 scores show consistent scaling across test versions, with multicore performance roughly 7 times single-core in R23 (17,294 vs 2,441). That scaling factor indicates the 14 cores are being utilized effectively in multi-threaded workloads.

For real workloads, the data suggests the following: software compilation will be competent but not rapid; video editing will handle 1080p and moderate 4K timelines; 3D modeling will be responsive for moderate polygon counts; and general office productivity will feel instant. The CPU will not bottleneck a modern GPU in most gaming scenarios at 1440p or 4K, but it will limit frame rates in CPU-bound titles at 1080p.

# Gaming Performance — measured FPS by game and resolution from measuredFpsUltraByGame (or, if dataIsMeasured is false, frame expectations qualitatively from the benchmark scores and say the figures are estimates)

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination — the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data. All frame rate discussion below is therefore estimated from the benchmark scores and should be treated as qualitative expectations, not measured results.

The GPU's 98th percentile ranking and 184,664 average benchmark score indicate that the RTX 5000 Ada Generation is capable of driving even the most demanding games at maximum settings. With 32 GB of VRAM and 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth, texture-heavy titles at 4K resolution will have ample headroom. The 65.28 TFLOPS FP32 throughput ensures that modern game engines — which increasingly rely on compute shaders — will be fed adequately.

The CPU's 59th percentile ranking is the limiting factor for gaming. At 1080p, where frame rates are often CPU-bound, the i5-13500TE's single-core performance (2,441 in R23) will constrain maximum FPS in esports titles and fast-paced shooters. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, and the RTX 5000 Ada Generation will deliver consistently high frame rates.

Expectations by resolution: at 1080p, high-refresh gaming (144 Hz+) is achievable in most titles, but frame rates will vary based on CPU load. At 1440p, the system will deliver excellent frame rates in AAA titles at ultra settings, with the GPU doing most of the heavy lifting. At 4K, the RTX 5000 Ada Generation's 32 GB VRAM and high bandwidth will allow maximum texture quality and ray tracing without memory pressure. The 100 RT cores will accelerate ray-traced effects, though the exact FPS impact depends on the game's implementation.

The 400 tensor cores enable DLSS where supported, which can substantially boost frame rates at higher resolutions by rendering at a lower internal resolution and upscaling. Given the GPU's raw performance, DLSS Quality mode at 4K should yield very high frame rates in most titles.

# Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build pairing the Intel Core i5-13500TE with the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation. The CPU is a 14-core, 20-thread Raptor Lake processor with a 35 W TDP, targeting the 59th percentile of all CPUs. The GPU is a workstation-class Ada Lovelace card with 32 GB GDDR6, 12,800 shading units, 100 RT cores, and 400 tensor cores, ranking in the 98th percentile of all GPUs.

The combined percentile of 79 places this system above the majority of builds, but the composition is unusual. The GPU is elite-tier, trading blows with the A100 SXM4 (0.5% ahead) and the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell (1.4% ahead). The CPU is mid-pack, matching the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650G exactly and sitting within 0.3% of its nearest rivals.

This is a GPU-first build. The RTX 5000 Ada Generation is the centerpiece, and the i5-13500TE is a supporting component chosen for its low power draw and adequate multi-core performance. The 35 W CPU TDP means the system can run cool and quiet, which pairs well with the 250 W GPU in a dual-slot form factor.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a clear imbalance: the GPU ranks in the 98th percentile while the CPU ranks in the 59th, a 39-percentage-point gap. This means the CPU will bottleneck the GPU in many workloads, particularly those that are latency-sensitive or lightly threaded.

In gaming at 1080p, the CPU's single-core score of 2,441 in Cinebench R23 will limit frame rates, preventing the GPU from reaching its full potential. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the system performs closer to its combined percentile of 79.

In GPU-accelerated workloads — rendering, AI inference, compute — the bottleneck is reversed. The GPU's 184,664 average score and 65.28 TFLOPS FP32 throughput dominate, while the CPU's 14 cores and 20 threads provide adequate data feeding and scene management. The CPU will not meaningfully impede GPU compute performance.

In CPU-bound workloads — software compilation, spreadsheet analysis, database queries — the system performs at the CPU's 59th percentile level. The GPU sits idle or lightly loaded, and the system's overall performance is dictated by the i5-13500TE.

The FPS scaling evidence, while not measured for this exact pairing, can be inferred from the component percentiles. The GPU's 98th percentile ranking suggests it can deliver frame rates at the top 2% of all GPUs in GPU-bound scenarios. The CPU's 59th percentile means it will deliver mid-pack frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. The system is best balanced for GPU-intensive workloads where the CPU's 14 cores are sufficient to keep the RTX 5000 Ada Generation fed. For pure gaming at high refresh rates, a stronger CPU would be the limiting factor.
