# Intel Core i5-14500HX + AMD Radeon 760M: Benchmark Analysis

This pairing combines Intel's 14th-generation mobile flagship CPU with AMD's entry-level RDNA 3 integrated graphics, creating a laptop configuration that prioritizes processor throughput while relying on integrated graphics for display output. The Core i5-14500HX sits at the 84th percentile among all CPUs, while the Radeon 760M lands at the 35th percentile among all GPUs, placing the combined system at the 60th percentile overall. This is a CPU-centric build where the processor carries the performance burden, and the integrated GPU handles only lighter visual workloads.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The Radeon 760M's 35th GPU percentile and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 400 indicate this is not a high-refresh gaming solution. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 5310 places it just 0.3% above the AMD Radeon RX 6400, a discrete entry-level card, but still firmly in entry-level territory. High-refresh 1080p gaming at competitive settings would strain the integrated graphics, and the system's 60th combined percentile reflects this limitation. Users seeking 144Hz or 240Hz experiences should look elsewhere, as the GPU cannot sustain the frame rates required.

Streaming: The CPU's 14 cores and 20 threads provide ample headroom for encoding workloads, and its PassMark multithread score of 28508 places it 0.3% above the Intel Core i9-12900HX. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 on the CPU handles display output, while the Radeon 760M could theoretically assist with encoding tasks. However, the lack of dedicated tensor or RT hardware on the GPU limits advanced encoding features. Software-based x264 encoding using the CPU's 20 threads would outperform any GPU-assisted encoding given the CPU's strong Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24234.

Video editing: The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24234 ranks it at the 84th CPU percentile, making it well-suited for timeline editing and effects processing. The Geekbench multicore score of 10171 reinforces this capability. The Radeon 760M's 512 shading units and 32 texture mapping units provide hardware acceleration for GPU-accelerated effects, but the 5.323 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 16 ROPs limit complex compositing. For 1080p and light 4K editing, this configuration performs adequately; for heavy 4K or 8K workflows, the GPU becomes the bottleneck.

3D rendering: CPU-based rendering engines like Blender Cycles and V-Ray will leverage the 14-core, 20-thread processor effectively. The PassMark floating point math score of 69442 and integer math score of 95584 demonstrate strong computational throughput. The Radeon 760M's 5.323 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 8 RT cores provide some GPU-accelerated rendering capability, but its 35th GPU percentile means render times will be significantly slower than with discrete graphics. The CPU's performance in rendering workloads is the clear strength here.

Software development: The CPU's PassMark data compression score of 333851 and data encryption score of 19502 indicate fast compile times and efficient handling of cryptographic operations. The 24 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache reduce memory latency during build processes. The Radeon 760M's Vulkan 1.4 API support enables modern graphics debugging, though the GPU's limited compute performance (PassMark GPU compute score of 2840) means graphics programming workloads would be constrained.

Student and office work: This configuration excels in productivity tasks where CPU performance dominates. The Geekbench single-core score of 2129 and PassMark single-thread score of 3629 handle everyday applications with ease. The 10 nm process node and 55 W TDP suggest reasonable power efficiency for a laptop. The Radeon 760M's G2D score of 890 provides adequate 2D acceleration for document editing and web browsing. This is a capable workstation for academic and professional office use.

It trails the Quadro P2000 by 0.5% (6049). Compute performance shows a G2D score of 890 and GPU compute score of 2840.

The combined system percentile of 60 reflects the substantial gap between the CPU's high performance and the GPU's entry-level capabilities. The CPU carries the system's performance reputation, while the GPU limits overall balanced performance.

Balance and Bottleneck

The performance asymmetry between the CPU and GPU is stark. The CPU's 84th percentile ranking versus the GPU's 35th percentile creates a system where the processor is almost never the limiting factor. In CPU-bound workloads like software compilation, data processing, and office productivity, the i5-14500HX delivers performance at the level of the Intel Core i9-12900HX, as indicated by the 0.3% average score delta.

In graphics-bound workloads, the Radeon 760M becomes the bottleneck. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 5310 is roughly one-sixth of what a high-end discrete GPU would deliver, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 400 indicates minimal headroom for demanding 3D applications. The 16 ROPs and 32 TMUs constrain pixel and texture throughput, with pixel rate of 41.58 GPixel/s and texture rate of 83.17 GTexel/s.

The FPS scaling picture, though no measured FPS data exists for this combination, can be estimated from the GPU's DirectX 12 score of 25 and DirectX 11 score of 52 in PassMark. These scores suggest that frame rates in modern titles would be low even at 1080p, and the CPU's performance advantage would go unused in gaming scenarios. The system is balanced for productivity tasks where CPU performance dominates, but unbalanced for gaming and GPU-accelerated workloads.

Who Should Build It

The target user for this configuration is a laptop buyer who prioritizes CPU performance for professional and academic workloads. Software developers will benefit from the CPU's data compression score of 333851, which accelerates build tools and version control operations. The 20 threads and 24 MB of L3 cache handle parallel compilation efficiently.

Content creators working with 1080p video editing will find the CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24234 sufficient for timeline playback and export encoding. The Radeon 760M provides basic GPU acceleration for effects, though complex projects would benefit from a discrete GPU. Students and office workers gain from the Geekbench single-core score of 2129 for responsive everyday use, and the PassMark single-thread score of 3629 ensures smooth application performance.

Small business workstations handling spreadsheets, databases, and document management will run effectively. The CPU's ECC memory support adds reliability for data-critical operations. Gamers should avoid this configuration unless they primarily play e-sports titles at low settings, given the GPU's 35th percentile ranking. The system is not suitable for 3D rendering professionals who need GPU acceleration, as the 5.323 TFLOPS FP32 throughput limits render performance.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core i5-14500HX uses the Intel BGA 1964 socket, which is a mobile platform with the processor soldered to the motherboard. This means CPU upgrades are not practical; the laptop's motherboard dictates the processor. The Raptor Lake-HX architecture supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, with ECC memory support available.

Memory upgrades are the most straightforward path to improve performance, particularly for the integrated graphics. The Radeon 760M uses system shared memory, so its bandwidth is system dependent. Installing faster DDR5 memory would directly improve GPU performance, as the GPU's memory bandwidth is determined by the system RAM.

The GPU's PCIe 4.0 x8 interface suggests it could theoretically be replaced with a discrete GPU in some laptop designs, though this is not standard practice for integrated graphics. The 15 W TDP of the Radeon 760M indicates the power delivery system is designed for low-power graphics. The CPU's 55 W TDP, combined with the GPU's 15 W, leaves headroom for a discrete GPU in laptops with appropriate cooling and power delivery.

The platform's PCIe Gen 5 support on the CPU's 16 lanes enables fast NVMe storage. A sensible next upgrade would be adding a Gen 5 NVMe SSD to take advantage of this bandwidth, though the practical benefits over Gen 4 are limited for most workloads.
