The Intel Core i5-14500 and NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation form a desktop build with a combined benchmark percentile of 91. The CPU is a 14-core, 20-thread Raptor Lake-R part with a 5.00 GHz boost clock and a 65W TDP, while the GPU is an Ada Lovelace workstation card with 20 GB of GDDR6 and a 95th-percentile ranking. The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this exact combination: `measuredFpsUltraByGame` is empty and `dataIsMeasured` is false, so any discussion of frame rates below is estimated from synthetic benchmark scores.

Gaming Performance

There are no game-specific FPS figures to report because the FACT PACK has no measured FPS rows for this CPU+GPU pairing. The following expectations are estimates. On the CPU side, the i5-14500 delivers a Passmark single-thread score of 3952, a Geekbench single-core score of 2099, and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1917. These are robust single-thread results for frame pacing and game logic. On the GPU side, the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation sits at the 95th GPU percentile with a Geekbench OpenCL score of 124812 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 109364. The GPU also has 64 ROPs and a 99.84 GPixel/s pixel rate, which are the pixel-filling resources that turn draw calls into screen output. The 20 GB frame buffer is far larger than typical game-card allocations, giving high-detail game assets room to stay resident. Taken together, the data suggests this pairing can target smooth high-refresh gaming at common gaming resolutions, though the exact margin cannot be quantified without measured FPS data.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The CPU’s 3952 Passmark single-thread score and 1917 Cinebench R23 single-core score should keep frame pacing stable, while the GPU’s 95th percentile and 299.5 GTexel/s texture rate help feed high pixel counts. The result is likely enough for high-refresh monitors, but the missing measured FPS data leaves the headroom unquantified.

Streaming: The CPU’s 14 cores and 20 threads, combined with a Passmark multithread score of 30777 and a data compression score of 371294, provide parallel capacity for running a game while other tasks run alongside it. The data encryption score of 21457 also indicates measurable CPU headroom for secure data handling during a streaming workload.

Video editing: Cinebench R20 and R23 multi-core scores of 10985 and 15012, respectively, plus a floating-point math score of 79576, indicate the CPU accelerates timeline and effects processing. The GPU’s 20 GB VRAM and 19.17 TFLOPS FP32 compute give editing applications a large memory resource for image-heavy work.

3D rendering: The GPU has 48 RT cores, 192 tensor cores, and a 19.17 TFLOPS FP16 rate at 1:1, which is a strong combination for ray-traced and tensor-based rendering workloads. The CPU’s Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 2435 and R20 multi-core score of 10985 support scene preparation and final-frame processing.

Software development: The CPU’s integer math score of 108124 and extended instructions score of 22473 are directly relevant to compilation and code analysis. Its 14 cores and 20 threads allow parallel builds, while the 3952 single-thread score keeps interactive tooling responsive.

Student and office work: The 65W CPU TDP, 70W GPU TDP, and 250W suggested PSU describe a modest-power desktop that is easy to place in a dorm room or office. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides display output when the discrete GPU is not needed, and the GPU’s four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs support multi-monitor setups.

CPU Analysis

The i5-14500 is built on Intel’s 10 nm process with a 215 mm² die. It uses the Raptor Lake-R architecture, with 14 cores and 20 threads, a 2.60 GHz base clock, and a 5.00 GHz boost clock. Cache is organized as 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The memory controller supports DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, and ECC memory support is present. The CPU exposes PCIe Gen5 with 16 lanes from the CPU and includes UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics. It is not multiplier-unlocked, so manual overclocking through the multiplier is unavailable.

Benchmark results show a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15012 and single-core score of 1917, a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 10985 and single-core score of 1550, a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 2435 and single-core score of 273, a Geekbench multi-core score of 13390 and single-core score of 2099, and a Passmark multithread score of 30777. The average benchmark score is 38531, placing the chip at the 86th CPU percentile. Compared with nearest rivals, it trails the Core Ultra 5 235T by 0.1% in average score, while leading the Xeon w3-2525 by 0.4%, the Core 9 270H by 0.5%, and the Core Ultra 9 285H by 0.6%. In real-world terms, the 24 MB shared L3 helps repeated workloads, the dual memory paths allow a platform-level choice between memory generations, and the locked multiplier means the 5.00 GHz boost is the top clock.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is Intel Socket 1700, with DDR4 and DDR5 dual-channel memory support and ECC available. That means a builder can choose between memory generations at the motherboard level. The CPU provides PCIe Gen5 16 lanes from the CPU, while the GPU uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, so the GPU bus is fully supported by the platform. The GPU is dual-slot, 168 mm long, 69 mm tall, has no power connectors, and carries a 70W TDP; the suggested PSU is 250W. The CPU’s 65W TDP adds a modest load. For future upgrades, memory configuration matters more than the CPU multiplier, since the multiplier is locked. The dual-slot dimensions and 168 mm length give a clear mechanical constraint for case selection. A sensible next upgrade would be a higher-capacity memory kit on the chosen DDR4 or DDR5 path, or a future GPU that uses the same PCIe 4.0 x16 slot.

GPU Analysis

The RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation is built on the AD104 chip at TSMC’s 5 nm process, packing 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die for a transistor density of 121.8M / mm². It runs a 720 MHz base clock, a 1560 MHz boost clock, and a memory clock of 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective transfer. The memory subsystem consists of 20 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus, delivering 280.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Compute resources include 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 48 RT cores, and 192 tensor cores. The card outputs 99.84 GPixel/s and 299.5 GTexel/s, with FP32 and FP16 both rated at 19.17 TFLOPS in a 1:1 ratio. It is a dual-slot card with no power connectors, a 70W TDP, and a 250W suggested PSU. Display output consists of four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a connectors. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. In the product timeline, its predecessor is Workstation Ampere and its successor is Blackwell PRO W.

In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 124812 in Geekbench OpenCL and 109364 in Geekbench Vulkan, averaging 117088 and ranking at the 95th GPU percentile. This puts it 0.3% behind the NVIDIA GB10 and 1.6% behind the AMD Radeon PRO W7700, while running 2.4% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16GB and 2.8% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile. For rendering workloads, the 20 GB buffer can hold large scenes, the 48 RT cores accelerate ray traversal, the 192 tensor cores are available for tensor-based compute tasks, and the 280.0 GB/s bandwidth feeds the shading units efficiently.

Who Should Build It

Gamers who want high-refresh desktop gaming without a massive power supply fit this build: the CPU’s single-thread score of 3952, the GPU’s 95th percentile, and the 70W GPU TDP align well with a compact desktop. Content creators editing video can use the 14-core CPU, 20 GB VRAM, and 19.17 TFLOPS FP32 compute. 3D artists and renderers get 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores, plus 280.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Software developers benefit from the integer math score of 108124 and 20 threads for parallel builds. Students and office workers get a low-power platform with UHD Graphics 770 fallback, and the four mini-DisplayPort outputs allow multi-monitor productivity. Small-form-factor workstation builders will appreciate the 168 mm dual-slot card with no external power connectors, which fits tighter desktop cases while still delivering workstation-class GPU compute.

Balance and Bottleneck

The clearest bottleneck evidence in the FACT PACK is the percentile split: CPU 86th versus GPU 95th. In gaming, where frame rate depends on both single-thread responsiveness and GPU throughput, the CPU is the more likely limit once the GPU is large enough to push very high frame rates. The CPU’s Passmark single-thread score of 3952 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1917 define that ceiling, while the GPU’s 95th percentile and OpenCL score of 124812 define the graphics ceiling. In rendering workloads, the GPU’s 20 GB VRAM, 48 RT cores, 192 tensor cores, and 19.17 TFLOPS dominate the CPU’s 15012 R23 multi-core score, making the GPU the primary compute engine. In multi-thread productivity, the CPU’s 14 cores and 20 threads, supported by a Passmark multithread score of 30777, carry the load; the GPU has no measured role in those CPU tests. There is no measured FPS scaling row for this exact pair, and `pairRankByFps` is null, so the percentile gap is the only quantitative bottleneck signal available.

Build Overview

The Intel Core i5-14500 and NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation form a desktop-class build, as indicated by `buildClass: "desktop"`. The CPU is a locked 14-core Raptor Lake-R processor with a launch MSRP of $232 and an average benchmark score of 38531; the GPU is an Ada Lovelace workstation card with a 70W TDP, no power connectors, and an average score of 117088. Their combined percentile of 91 places the pairing in an upper tier of systems, with the GPU contributing the higher component percentile at 95 and the CPU following at 86. The SFF form factor, dual-slot 168 mm GPU, and 250W suggested PSU make this a compact workstation-class desktop: strong multi-thread work, strong single-thread response, and strong GPU compute in a power-light package.
