The benchmark data reveals a system with exceptional graphics capability and solid, though not class-leading, processing power. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 77712, placing it at the 92nd percentile. In contrast, the CPU’s average score is 35305, at the 85th percentile. This 7-point percentile gap is the primary indicator of the system’s balance characteristics.

Looking at specific GPU tests, the RTX 5090 D delivers a Geekbench Vulkan score of 376915 and an OpenCL score of 310674, demonstrating massive compute throughput. Its Passmark G3D score is 44065, while the Passmark GPU Compute score is 28396. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields a score of 14326. These figures collectively support the 92nd percentile ranking.

For the CPU, the Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 23571, with a single-core score of 3327. Geekbench multi-core and single-core scores are 10851 and 2385, respectively. The Passmark multithread score is 27098, and the single-thread score is 3728. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking is consistent with these results, which show a strong multi-threaded workload capability relative to other processors. The combined picture is one where the GPU is unequivocally the top-tier component, while the CPU, though capable, is a tier below in relative performance.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i5-13600T is a 14-core, 20-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, fabricated on Intel’s 10 nm process. Its base clock is a modest 1800.00 MHz, but it boosts up to 4.80 GHz, allowing for significant single-thread performance when needed. The 35 W TDP is a defining characteristic, indicating a low-power design intended for thermally constrained environments. The L3 cache is 24 MB shared, with 1.25 MB L2 per core and 80 KB L1 per core.

In benchmark terms, the CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23571 is its strongest result, placing it in the 85th percentile. This score is comparable to the Intel Core i7-12700K, which has an average score of 35287 with a 0% delta, meaning the i5-13600T and i7-12700K are effectively equal in average performance. However, the i5-13600T trails the Intel Core i7-13700T (score 35403, -0.3% delta) and the Intel Core 5 213PE (score 35428, -0.3% delta) by a negligible margin.

For real workloads, these numbers indicate that the i5-13600T is well-suited for multi-threaded tasks like video encoding, software compilation, and 3D rendering, where the 14 cores can be fully utilized. The Passmark data encryption score of 19320 and data compression score of 337893 further support this, showing robust throughput in data-intensive operations. The single-core performance, with a Geekbench score of 2385 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3728, is strong enough for responsive everyday use and gaming, but it is not the primary strength of this chip. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking confirms it is a solid mid-to-high-tier processor, but it does not reach the top tier of CPU performance.

Gaming Performance

The fact pack explicitly states that no measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination. Therefore, all figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores, not direct measurements. The GPU’s performance class, evidenced by its 92nd percentile ranking, suggests it is capable of extremely high frame rates at 1440p and 4K resolutions in most titles.

Given the RTX 5090 D’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14326 and its Passmark G3D score of 44065, the GPU is clearly positioned for high-refresh-rate gaming. The CPU’s single-core performance, with a Geekbench score of 2385, is sufficient for most gaming workloads, but the disparity between the CPU’s 85th percentile and the GPU’s 92nd percentile indicates that at lower resolutions like 1080p, the i5-13600T may become the limiting factor.

The absence of measured FPS data means that specific resolution-based frame rates cannot be stated. However, the benchmark scores imply that at 1440p and 4K, where the GPU is the primary bottleneck, the system should deliver exceptional performance, likely exceeding 60 FPS in even the most demanding titles. At 1080p, the CPU’s lower relative performance could cap frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios, but the actual figures remain estimates. The data suggests a system built for high-end gaming, but the exact FPS numbers are not available for this configuration.

Balance and Bottleneck

The performance data clearly indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this build. With a 92nd percentile ranking versus the CPU’s 85th percentile, the GPU is the stronger component relative to its peers. This imbalance has significant implications for workload distribution.

In GPU-bound workloads, such as high-resolution gaming (1440p and above) or GPU-accelerated rendering, the RTX 5090 D will operate at its full potential, and the i5-13600T will have sufficient headroom to feed it data. The GPU’s massive compute resources, including its 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth, are the primary drivers of performance in these scenarios.

Conversely, in CPU-bound workloads, such as 1080p gaming with a high frame rate target, or in tasks involving significant physics calculations, the i5-13600T becomes the limiting factor. The Passmark physics score of 1287 is relatively low, indicating that the CPU may struggle to keep pace with the GPU’s output in light of its 35 W TDP. The CPU’s Passmark find prime numbers score of 82 is also notably low, further suggesting a bottleneck in integer-heavy workloads.

The FPS scaling, though unmeasured, would follow this pattern: at 1080p, the CPU would likely cap frame rates below what the GPU could theoretically deliver, while at higher resolutions, the GPU’s rendering load increases, and the system’s frame rates would scale with the GPU’s capabilities. The combined percentile of 89 reflects a high-performing system, but the bottleneck analysis reveals that the CPU is the constraining factor in CPU-limited tasks.
