The Intel Core i5-14501TE paired with the NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation is a desktop-class combination that pairs a modest 6-core Raptor Lake processor with a high-end workstation GPU. No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination, so all frame-rate expectations below are estimated from the benchmark scores in the FACT PACK rather than from direct game testing. The GPU's Geekbench scores (OpenCL 146593, Vulkan 123842, average 135218) and its 95th percentile among all GPUs indicate strong rasterization and compute capability, while the CPU sits at the 50th percentile, suggesting a clear imbalance in raw processing power.

Gaming Performance

Because the FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this CPU+GPU pairing, all gaming frame rates are estimates derived from the GPU benchmark scores and CPU percentile, not from actual game runs. The GPU's Geekbench OpenCL score of 146593 and Vulkan score of 123842 place it at the 95th percentile of all GPUs, indicating it can handle high-detail rendering at common resolutions. The CPU, however, sits at the 50th percentile with only 6 cores and 12 threads, which will likely constrain frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios, particularly at lower resolutions or in games that rely heavily on single-thread performance.

At 1080p, the GPU's high pixel rate (139.2 GPixel/s) and texture rate (417.6 GTexel/s) suggest it can produce high frame counts in most titles, but the CPU's modest 5.10 GHz boost clock may limit 1% lows. At 1440p and 4K, the load shifts to the GPU, and the 360 GB/s memory bandwidth and 20 GB VRAM provide enough capacity for high-resolution textures. The GPU's 95th percentile rank versus a 50th percentile CPU implies that at 4K the system will deliver solid frame rates, but at 1080p the CPU could be the limiting factor.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a significant performance gap between the two components. The GPU's 95th percentile and its average benchmark score of 135218 are far above the CPU's 50th percentile (which has no listed benchmark score). In GPU-bound workloads — such as 4K gaming, ray tracing, or rendering large scenes — the RTX 4000 Ada will dominate the frame rate, and the CPU will have minimal impact. In contrast, CPU-bound tasks like physics simulation, AI computation on the CPU, or heavily multithreaded gaming at 1080p will expose the 6-core/12-thread processor's limits.

The GPU's TDP of 130W combined with the CPU's 45W TDP totals 175W, while the suggested PSU is 300W, leaving a headroom of 125W for other components. This headroom means the system is unlikely to be power-limited. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are modest for modern high-refresh gaming, where 8 cores or more are often recommended, but the GPU's capabilities can compensate in many titles. The bottleneck will shift: at low resolutions, the CPU will limit fps; at high resolutions, the GPU will dominate, making the CPU a secondary factor.

Benchmark Performance

The GPU's Geekbench OpenCL score is 146593 and Vulkan score is 123842, averaging to 123218 with a 95th percentile rank among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the benchmark data include the NVIDIA A10M (average score 135230, delta 0%), the AMD Radeon PRO W6800 (135396, delta -0.1%), the AMD Radeon Pro W6800X Duo (135774, delta -0.4%), and the AMD Radeon PRO V620 (136472, delta -0.9%). The RTX 4000 Ada's average score of 135218 is essentially identical to the A10M (0% difference) and slightly behind the W6800 by -0.1%, making it a very close match to its nearest competition.

The CPU has no benchmark scores in the FACT PACK, so its 50th percentile is the only metric. This percentile indicates it is exactly average among all CPUs, neither a performance leader nor a budget option. Combined, the CPU+GPU pairing has a combined percentile of 73, reflecting that the GPU dominates the overall capability. For reference, the GPU's OpenCL score is about 18.5% higher than its Vulkan score, suggesting that the card performs better in OpenCL compute workloads than in Vulkan graphics, which is relevant for professional rendering rather than pure gaming.

Who Should Build It

This build targets users who need strong graphics and compute performance without requiring a top-tier CPU. The GPU's 95th percentile and its 20 GB of GDDR6 memory make it suitable for content creators working with large 3D scenes, video editing at high resolutions, or AI inference (192 tensor cores). The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, while not a workstation-class, are sufficient for general productivity, office work, and software development. Students and small business workstations benefit from the GPU's 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs and support for multiple monitors, plus ECC memory support on the CPU side.

Gamers targeting 1440p or 4K with high settings will get good frame rates, though the CPU may bottleneck at 1080p in CPU-heavy titles. The system is not ideal for competitive high-refresh gaming at 1080p because of the CPU's 50th percentile, but for visual quality and resolution, it is well suited. The single-slot GPU design (245 mm length, 112 mm height) fits in a small form factor, and the 300W PSU requirement keeps power costs low.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i5-14501TE is a Raptor Lake processor on the Intel Socket 1700 platform, built on Intel's 10 nm process with a 215 mm² die size. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The cache hierarchy is 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus, with ECC support, and offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback display output.

The 45W TDP makes it a power-efficient CPU, but the 50th percentile suggests it is a mid-range performer. The boost clock of 5.10 GHz is high, but only 6 cores limit multithreaded tasks. In real workloads, the CPU will handle common office tasks, web development, and moderate compilation without issue, but heavy video encoding or 3D rendering that scales across many threads will be limited. The 24 MB L3 cache is decent, and the dual-channel memory support allows for reasonable bandwidth. The CPU's 2.20 GHz base clock is low, but the boost clock compensates for short bursts. The 10nm process is older than the GPU's 5nm process, but still adequate for a mid-range desktop chip.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: At 1080p with high refresh, the CPU's 6 cores may limit frame rates in esports titles. The GPU's 95th percentile and 139.2 GPixel/s pixel rate can push many frames, but the CPU's 50th percentile will cause some dips. At 1440p, the GPU's 20 GB VRAM and 360 GB/s bandwidth will maintain high fps, but the CPU's lower core count may still be a limiting factor in heavy games.

Streaming: The GPU's 192 tensor cores and 48 RT cores can handle encoding and decoding, but the CPU's 6 cores/12 threads are adequate for streaming at 1080p60 with a moderate bitrate. The 45W CPU TDP keeps thermal load low, but the 130W GPU will do most of the encoding work.

Video editing: The GPU's OpenCL score of 146593 and 20 GB of VRAM allow for large 4K timelines and GPU-accelerated effects. The CPU's 6 cores will handle the main timeline, but the GPU will accelerate exports and render effects. The 26.73 TFLOPS FP32 performance is strong for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

3D rendering: The GPU's 6144 shading units and 26.73 TFLOPS FP32, plus 26.73 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1) and 192 tensor cores, make it a capable renderer. The CPU's 12 threads will handle scene setup and physics, but the GPU will dominate the render time. The 20 GB VRAM prevents out-of-memory for large scenes.

Software development: The 6-core/12-thread CPU with a 5.10 GHz boost handles compilation of small-to-medium projects well. The 45W TDP is efficient for long builds. The GPU is not relevant to most development, but the CPU's 50th percentile is sufficient for general coding.

Student and office work: The CPU's low power and integrated graphics (UHD 770) are enough for office tasks, and the GPU's 4x DisplayPort outputs allow multiple monitors. The system is overkill for basic tasks, but the GPU's compute power can be used for research or data analysis.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation is a workstation GPU based on the AD104 chip, built on the 5nm process at TSMC, with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. It has 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, plus 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores. The base clock is 1500 MHz, boost 2175 MHz, and the memory runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) with a 160-bit bus, giving 360.0 GB/s bandwidth and 20 GB of GDDR6.

The GPU's pixel rate is 139.2 GPixel/s, texture rate 417.6 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance of 26.73 TFLOPS, with FP16 also 26.73 TFLOPS (1:1). This makes it a strong compute card for professional workloads, as evidenced by the Geekbench OpenCL score of 146593. The Vulkan score of 123842 is lower, suggesting that compute-oriented tasks benefit more. The TDP is 130W, with a single-slot design (245 mm length) and a 16-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 300W. It supports PCIe 4.0 x16, 4x DisplayPort 1.4a, and DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The GPU's 95th percentile rank places it above 95% of all GPUs, and its average benchmark score of 135218 is within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon PRO W6800 and 0% of the NVIDIA A10M. The 20 GB VRAM is ample for 4K textures and large compute tasks, and the 48 RT cores provide hardware ray tracing. The GPU's 26.73 TFLOPS FP32 is high for a workstation card, and the 1:1 FP16 ratio doubles compute for AI workloads. The 192 tensor cores also accelerate DLSS and AI-based rendering.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses Intel Socket 1700, which supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel controller, and has PCIe Gen 5 (16 lanes). The GPU uses PCIe 4.0 x16, which is backward-compatible with the CPU's PCIe 5.0 slot, though the GPU will run at Gen 4 speeds. The suggested PSU is 300W, and the CPU's TDP is 45W and the GPU's TDP is 130W, totaling 175W, leaving a 125W headroom for other components.

A sensible next upgrade would be to a higher-core CPU in the same socket, such as an 8-core or 10-core Raptor Lake chip, to better match the GPU's performance. The GPU's 20 GB VRAM is not upgradeable, but the GPU itself could be swapped to a higher-tier card later. Memory can be upgraded to DDR5 for better bandwidth, but the CPU's 24 MB L3 cache is fixed. The PCIe Gen 5 support means future GPUs that use Gen 5 will be compatible, but the current GPU uses Gen 4. The 300W PSU limits the maximum GPU power to around 200W after the CPU and other components, so a high-end GPU with a TDP above 200W would require a PSU upgrade.
