It operates on the Intel Socket 1700 platform with a 10 nm process node from Intel, featuring a die size of 215 mm². The CPU has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. Cache configuration includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 24 MB L3 cache.

Benchmark results place this CPU in the 86th percentile among all CPUs, indicating strong overall performance. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,000 and single-core score of 3,247 demonstrate balanced capability across both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads. The R20 scores of 9,660 multi-core and 1,363 single-core reinforce this pattern, showing that the processor scales well when all cores are engaged. In single-threaded tasks, the 5.00 GHz boost clock drives a PassMark single-thread score of 3,873, which is competitive for daily responsiveness and lightly threaded applications.

The nearest rival comparison shows the i5-14490F sits within 0.3% of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T (deltaPct -0.1), the Intel Core i5-13600KF (deltaPct 0.1), the AMD Ryzen 7 250 (deltaPct -0.2), and the Intel Core i5-13600HX (deltaPct -0.3). This clustering indicates that the i5-14490F is positioned in a highly competitive mid-range segment where performance differences between alternatives are negligible in aggregate benchmark scores. The average benchmark score of 38,149 places it squarely between these rivals, with the i5-13600KF being the closest competitor at 38,103 (0.1% ahead of the i5-14490F).

PassMark sub-tests reveal workload-specific strengths. The floating-point math score of 66,558 and integer math score of 87,844 suggest robust computational throughput for scientific calculations and general arithmetic operations. The data compression score of 340,026 is notably high, indicating strong performance in file archiving and compression tasks. Data encryption at 18,225 and extended instructions at 21,731 show capable cryptography and SIMD workload handling. The multi-thread score of 28,662, combined with a physics score of 2,093, indicates the processor handles physics simulations and complex calculations efficiently, which is relevant for engineering workloads and certain game engines.

The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, though ECC memory is not supported. It provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, enabling high-bandwidth connectivity for modern GPUs and NVMe storage. The lack of integrated graphics means a discrete GPU is mandatory, which aligns with the pairing in this build. The multiplier is locked, so overclocking is not available; users rely on the factory boost behavior and platform-level tuning.

# Gaming Performance

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination of the Intel Core i5-14490F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER — the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data. All FPS figures discussed here are estimates derived from the CPU and GPU benchmark scores, not direct measurements. The dataIsMeasured flag is false, so treat the following as projected expectations based on component capabilities.

For gaming, the CPU's single-thread performance is the primary driver for frame pacing and minimum FPS. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,247 and PassMark single-thread score of 3,873 indicate strong per-core performance, which translates to responsive gameplay in titles that rely on a few heavily utilized threads. The 5.00 GHz boost clock provides the headroom needed for high-refresh-rate scenarios where CPU-bound situations can limit frame rates.

The GPU, with its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth, is the dominant component for gaming workloads. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,269.5 places the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER in the 36th percentile among all GPUs, which is moderate. However, the nearest rival comparison shows it matches the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 exactly (deltaPct 0), suggesting the two GPUs deliver identical performance in this benchmark. The GPU also sits near the AMD FirePro W600 (deltaPct 0.8) and NVIDIA Quadro K620 (deltaPct -0.2), though these are professional/workstation cards with different driver optimizations, so gaming comparisons should focus on the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 equivalence.

At 1080p and 1440p resolutions, the CPU's strong single-thread scores should allow the GPU to stretch its legs, with the i5-14490F not presenting a significant bottleneck in most titles. The 10 cores and 16 threads provide enough multi-threading for modern game engines that utilize more than eight threads. At 4K resolution, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB VRAM is sufficient for high-resolution textures without exceeding memory capacity in most current titles.

The GPU's pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s indicate solid rasterization throughput, which supports high FPS at lower resolutions and moderate FPS at higher resolutions. The 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for ray tracing and DLSS-style upscaling, which can significantly boost frame rates in supported titles. The FP32 throughput of 43.94 TFLOPS is substantial for compute-heavy game effects.

# Benchmark Performance

The CPU's Cinebench R15 scores are 2,318 multi-core and 327 single-core. The R20 scores are 9,660 multi-core and 1,363 single-core. The R23 scores of 23,000 multi-core and 3,247 single-core show the processor's ability to handle both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads with equal competence. The PassMark multi-thread score of 28,662 and single-thread score of 3,873 (listed twice in the data) confirm this balanced profile.

The GPU's sole benchmark is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 with a score of 6,269.5, which matches the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 exactly (deltaPct 0). The GPU's average benchmark score is 6,270, placing it in the 36th percentile among all GPUs. This percentile ranking is lower than the CPU's 86th percentile, indicating the GPU is the weaker component relative to their respective markets.

The combined percentile for this build is 61, reflecting that the pairing of a high-percentile CPU with a mid-range GPU produces a system that sits above the median in overall performance. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T (deltaPct -0.1), Intel Core i5-13600KF (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Ryzen 7 250 (deltaPct -0.2), and Intel Core i5-13600HX (deltaPct -0.3). The GPU's nearest rivals include the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (deltaPct 0), NVIDIA Quadro K620 (deltaPct -0.2), AMD FirePro W600 (deltaPct 0.8), and AMD Radeon R7 M350 (deltaPct -0.9).

The combined picture is a CPU that outperforms its direct competitors by a razor-thin margin (0.1% ahead of the i5-13600KF) and a GPU that is essentially identical to the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102. The system's overall tier, based on the 61st combined percentile, places it in the upper-mid range of desktop builds, with the CPU carrying most of the performance weight relative to its market segment.

# Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core i5-14490F uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. This flexibility allows builders to choose between the lower cost of DDR4 or the higher bandwidth of DDR5, depending on motherboard selection. The memory bus is dual-channel, and while specific bandwidth figures are not provided, the dual-channel design is standard for mainstream desktop platforms.

The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, which is reserved for the primary GPU slot. This high-bandwidth interface is forward-compatible with the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, which uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. Future GPUs that leverage PCIe 5.0 bandwidth will not be constrained by the CPU's PCIe implementation. The platform does not support ECC memory, which limits its appeal for certain workstation applications that require error-correcting memory.

The CPU's TDP is 65 W, which is modest for a 10-core processor. This allows for a wide range of air coolers and compact liquid coolers to handle thermals, though the specific cooler requirements are not stated in the data. The GPU, however, has a TDP of 350 W, which is substantial. The suggested PSU for the GPU is not listed, but the 350 W TDP combined with the CPU's 65 W TDP implies a power supply with ample headroom is needed. The GPU requires a single 16-pin power connector and occupies a dual-slot form factor with dimensions of 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width, so case compatibility must account for these physical constraints.

A sensible next upgrade for this platform would be a CPU within the same socket generation that offers more cores or higher clocks, provided the motherboard's power delivery and BIOS support it. However, the i5-14490F's 86th percentile ranking suggests it already provides strong performance, so the more impactful upgrade path would be the GPU. Given the GPU's 36th percentile, moving to a higher-tier GPU would yield noticeable gains in GPU-bound workloads. The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot ensures the next GPU upgrade will not be bandwidth-limited.

# GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture using the GB203 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process by TSMC.

Memory clocks run at 1,750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed.

The GPU's base clock is 2,295 MHz with a boost clock of 2,452 MHz. It features 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for ray tracing and AI-accelerated workloads. The FP32 and FP16 throughput are both 43.94 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), which is notable for compute tasks that leverage either precision format. The pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,269.5 places the GPU in the 36th percentile among all GPUs. This is a moderate ranking, and the exact match with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (deltaPct 0) confirms that the two GPUs are performance equivalents in this benchmark. The GPU's average benchmark score of 6,270 reinforces this equivalence. The nearest rival list also includes professional cards like the NVIDIA Quadro K620 and AMD FirePro W600, but their deltaPct values (0.8 and -0.2 respectively) suggest they are not direct performance competitors.

For rendering workloads, the 16 GB VRAM is ample for large scenes and high-resolution textures, and the 896.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures fast data transfer within the GPU. The 70 RT cores accelerate ray-traced rendering, while the 280 tensor cores can accelerate AI-based denoising and upscaling in supported software. The FP32 throughput of 43.94 TFLOPS provides solid raw compute for GPU rendering engines that rely on single-precision floating-point calculations. The dual-slot design and 350 W TDP require adequate cooling and power delivery in the system.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The performance data reveals a clear imbalance between the CPU and GPU. The CPU sits at the 86th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 36th percentile among all GPUs. This 50-percentage-point gap indicates that the CPU is significantly stronger relative to its market than the GPU is relative to its market. In CPU-bound workloads — such as data compression (PassMark score 340,026), integer math (87,844), and multi-threaded rendering — the CPU will not be the limiting factor. Instead, the GPU will constrain performance in tasks that rely on GPU compute.

In gaming scenarios, the bottleneck shifts depending on resolution. At lower resolutions, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (PassMark 3,873) and 5.00 GHz boost clock can keep up with the GPU, but the GPU's 36th percentile ranking means frame rates will be limited by the GPU's rasterization and shading throughput. The GPU's FP32 throughput of 43.94 TFLOPS and pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s set the upper bound for fill-rate-limited scenarios. At higher resolutions, the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck, with the CPU's 10 cores providing ample headroom.

The GPU's nearest rival comparison shows it matches the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (deltaPct 0), which provides a reference for expected GPU-bound performance. The CPU's nearest rival deltaPct values (ranging from -0.3 to 0.1) confirm that the CPU is at parity with its direct competitors, so the bottleneck is not due to the CPU underperforming its class. Rather, the pairing of an above-average CPU with an average GPU creates a system where GPU upgrades will yield the most significant performance gains. In CPU-heavy workloads like video encoding or compilation, the CPU will lead, but in GPU-heavy workloads like gaming or GPU rendering, the GPU will cap performance.
