Benchmark Performance

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 28065 places it in the 80th percentile of all CPUs, a strong result for a 35-watt part. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE, scores 28054 with a deltaPct of 0, indicating identical performance. The Intel Core i9-12900H, a mobile chip, scores 28003 with a deltaPct of 0.2, meaning the i5-14500T is 0.2% faster. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 scores 28128 with a deltaPct of -0.2, making it 0.2% faster than the i5-14500T. These margins are negligible, placing the i5-14500T in a tight cluster of mid-range performers.

In multi-threaded workloads, the i5-14500T achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11790 and a Geekbench multicore score of 11894. Its PassMark multithread score is 22910, with integer math at 80922 and floating-point math at 58869. These numbers show a balanced throughput profile suitable for parallel tasks. Single-thread performance is comparatively modest, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1838 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2229, placing it below many higher-clocked desktop parts.

The GPU presents a different picture. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16504 places it in the 59th percentile, with an average benchmark score of 16504. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA T400, scores 16508 with a deltaPct of 0, indicating virtual parity. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 scores 16415 (0.5% slower), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16408 (0.6% slower), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT scores 16361 (0.9% slower). The GPU is thus clustered with professional and older gaming cards, not at the top of the performance hierarchy.

The combined picture is a CPU that punches above its power class and a GPU that sits in the mid-range. The CPU’s 80th percentile rank contrasts sharply with the GPU’s 59th percentile, creating a system where the processor has more relative headroom than the graphics card. The combined percentile of 70 reflects a compromise between these two components.

Usage Scenarios

For high-refresh gaming, the RTX 5090 D V2’s 3DMark score of 16504 suggests it can drive modern titles, but its 59th percentile rank indicates it is not a top-tier performer. Estimated frame rates would likely fall short of the highest refresh rates at demanding settings, though the CPU’s strong single-thread score of 1838 in Cinebench R23 helps maintain consistent frame pacing.

Streaming benefits from the CPU’s 14 cores and 20 threads, which handle encoding and background tasks. The PassMark multithread score of 22910 provides ample parallel headroom for simultaneous gameplay and broadcast software, while the GPU’s dedicated hardware assists with encoding workloads.

Video editing relies heavily on both components. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11790 accelerates timeline rendering and export, while the GPU’s 24 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth support large textures and effects. The 59th percentile GPU rank, however, means GPU-accelerated effects may not be as fast as higher-tier cards.

3D rendering tasks show a clear split. CPU-based rendering engines will perform respectably given the 20 threads, but GPU-based renderers will be limited by the 5090 D V2’s mid-range standing. The 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is substantial, yet the 59th percentile rank suggests slower times than top-tier GPUs.

Software development workloads, particularly compilation, benefit from the CPU’s 14 cores. The PassMark integer math score of 80922 handles code compilation efficiently, while the GPU’s role is secondary unless the project involves graphics or compute.

For student and office work, the system is overprovisioned. The CPU’s 80th percentile rank ensures smooth multitasking across office suites and browsers, while the GPU’s capabilities exceed the requirements of typical productivity applications. The low 35-watt CPU TDP keeps power consumption modest for a desktop.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data reveals an asymmetric pairing. The CPU’s 80th percentile rank versus the GPU’s 59th percentile suggests the GPU is the limiting factor in graphics-bound workloads. In gaming at high settings, the GPU would be the primary constraint, with the CPU having spare capacity to handle physics and background tasks.

For compute-heavy workloads like 3D rendering with GPU acceleration, the bottleneck shifts to the GPU. Its 16504 Steel Nomad score and 59th percentile rank cap throughput, while the CPU’s 11790 Cinebench R23 multicore score may go underutilized.

CPU-bound scenarios, such as data compression (PassMark score of 262417) or encryption (15410), would see the processor as the limiting component. The GPU would remain mostly idle, as these tasks do not leverage graphics hardware.

The FPS scaling picture is estimated, not measured. Given the GPU’s mid-range rank, frame rates would scale with resolution and settings, but the CPU’s strong single-thread score of 1838 helps avoid stutter at lower resolutions. At 4K, the GPU becomes the sole bottleneck, while at 1080p, the CPU’s 80th percentile rank ensures it keeps pace with the GPU’s output.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i5-14500T is a 14-core, 20-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel’s 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 1.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a TDP of just 35 watts. This low power envelope is the defining characteristic, allowing sustained performance in thermally constrained systems.

The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. This configuration supports the 24 MB shared pool for inter-core communication. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, with ECC memory support enabled.

Benchmark results show a processor that excels in multi-threaded tasks. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11790 and Geekbench multicore score of 11894 indicate strong parallel throughput. The PassMark multithread score of 22910, with integer math at 80922 and floating-point math at 58869, confirms balanced performance across different instruction types.

Single-thread performance is less impressive, with a Cinebench R23 score of 1838 and Geekbench score of 2229. This places it behind higher-clocked desktop parts, though the 4.80 GHz boost clock mitigates the deficit. The PassMark single-thread score of 3736 reflects this moderate performance.

The CPU’s 80th percentile rank among all CPUs is notable for a 35-watt part. It competes directly with the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE (28054, deltaPct 0) and the Intel Core i9-12900H (28003, deltaPct 0.2), both of which consume more power. The Raptor Lake architecture’s efficiency is the key advantage here.

Who Should Build It

The primary audience is users seeking a low-power desktop CPU paired with a mid-range GPU. The i5-14500T’s 80th percentile rank makes it suitable for office workstations, where its multi-threaded scores (Cinebench R23 multicore 11790) handle spreadsheet, database, and virtualization tasks efficiently. The 35-watt TDP reduces cooling requirements and power draw.

Content creators working with video editing will find the CPU’s 20 threads sufficient for 1080p and 1440p timelines, though the GPU’s 59th percentile rank limits effects-heavy workflows. The 24 GB VRAM is useful for large projects, but the 1.34 TB/s bandwidth is not top-tier.

Software developers benefit from the CPU’s 14 cores for compilation tasks. The PassMark integer math score of 80922 accelerates build processes, while the GPU is largely irrelevant for most coding workloads. The ECC memory support adds reliability for long-running builds.

Gamers at 1080p or 1440p will see the CPU as a capable partner, but the GPU’s mid-range standing means high-refresh gaming at ultra settings is not guaranteed. The estimated FPS figures, based on the 16504 Steel Nomad score, suggest playable frame rates rather than competitive esports numbers.

Students and small business users get a system that exceeds their needs. The CPU’s 80th percentile rank ensures smooth multitasking, while the GPU’s capabilities are wasted on typical productivity apps. The low power draw is a bonus for shared or dorm-room environments.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The system uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which supports the Core 14th Gen series. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, offering flexibility in memory choice. The platform provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the GPU uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface.

The GPU has a TDP of 575 watts and requires a suggested PSU of 950 watts. The CPU’s 35-watt TDP leaves substantial power headroom for upgrades. A future CPU upgrade on the same socket would need to respect the 35-watt power envelope, limiting options to other low-power parts.

Memory upgrades are straightforward, with support for both DDR4 and DDR5. The dual-channel bus means users can populate two or four DIMM slots, though the memory bandwidth is not specified in the data. ECC memory support adds a professional-grade option.

The PCIe Gen 5 interface from the CPU benefits the GPU, which also uses PCIe 5.0 x16. This provides ample bandwidth for the 24 GB GDDR7 memory. A sensible next upgrade would be a higher-tier GPU, as the CPU’s 80th percentile rank has room to support a more powerful graphics card.

The 950-watt suggested PSU provides headroom for such a GPU upgrade. The 575-watt GPU TDP and 35-watt CPU TDP leave over 300 watts for other components, making this a flexible platform for future changes.

Build Overview

This is a desktop build combining the Intel Core i5-14500T and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2. The CPU is a 14-core Raptor Lake Refresh part with a 35-watt TDP, while the GPU is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture card with 24 GB of GDDR7 memory. The combined percentile of 70 places it above the majority of tracked systems.

The CPU’s 80th percentile rank is the standout feature, offering performance comparable to higher-power rivals like the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE (deltaPct 0) and Intel Core i9-12900H (deltaPct 0.2). The GPU’s 59th percentile rank is more modest, with its 16504 Steel Nomad score matching the NVIDIA T400 (16508) and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (16361).

The pairing is unbalanced in favor of the CPU. Users get a processor that competes with premium mobile and mid-range desktop parts, but a graphics card that sits in the middle of the GPU hierarchy. The overall tier is mid-range, defined by the GPU’s performance ceiling.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination. The FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data, so the following figures are estimates derived from the benchmark scores. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16504 and 59th percentile rank inform these projections.

At 1080p, the CPU’s strong single-thread score of 1838 (Cinebench R23) would keep pace with the GPU, allowing the graphics card to be the primary limiter. Estimated frame rates in AAA titles would likely range from playable to smooth, given the GPU’s mid-range standing. Esports titles could see higher numbers, but the 59th percentile rank caps expectations.

At 1440p, the GPU’s workload increases, and its 16504 Steel Nomad score suggests moderate performance. Frame rates would drop compared to 1080p, with demanding titles potentially falling below 60 FPS at ultra settings. The 24 GB VRAM prevents capacity issues, but the raw compute (104.8 TFLOPS FP32) is not top-tier.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the sole bottleneck. The 59th percentile rank indicates this is not a 4K gaming card for ultra settings. Users would need to reduce settings or use upscaling to achieve playable frame rates. The CPU would remain underutilized, as the GPU’s output limits the system.

These estimates assume the benchmark scores translate to gaming performance. The Steel Nomad test is a DX12 workload, which aligns with modern games, but the lack of measured FPS data means these numbers carry uncertainty. The CPU’s 14 cores provide headroom for background tasks during gaming, but the GPU’s mid-range position is the defining factor.
