Benchmark results place the Intel Core i7-12700 and NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation as a desktop pairing at the 91st combined percentile, with the CPU at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs and the GPU at the 98th percentile among all GPUs. The CPU is a 12-core, 20-thread Alder Lake-S part with a 2.10 GHz base clock and 4.90 GHz boost clock, while the GPU is a workstation-class Ada Lovelace card with 32 GB of memory. This is a lopsided combination in one sense: the GPU is near the top of the database, while the CPU is strong but a tier below the very fastest processors. All gaming-performance comments in this analysis are estimates from benchmark scores, because the database does not contain measured FPS data for this exact pairing.

Gaming Performance — measured FPS by game and resolution from measuredFpsUltraByGame (or, if dataIsMeasured is false, frame expectations qualitatively from the benchmark scores and say the figures are estimates)

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination. The dataIsMeasured flag is false, and the measuredFpsUltraByGame object is empty, so it is impossible to quote FPS for any specific game or resolution. What the database does provide is strong proxy evidence from CPU and GPU benchmark scores. The GPU's Geekbench Vulkan score of 194041 and OpenCL score of 175286 place it in the 98th percentile of all GPUs, meaning the graphics side has an exceptionally high frame-rate ceiling. The CPU's 3DMark scores also support a high ceiling: 1012 single-thread, 1987 two-thread, 3824 four-thread, 6775 eight-thread, 8764 sixteen-thread, and 9446 max-thread. These numbers show that the CPU scales well as more threads are used, which matters for games that are not purely single-threaded.

Because there is no measured FPS data, resolution-specific figures cannot be supplied. The expected picture from the scores is one of very high frame rates in GPU-bound conditions, with the 98th-percentile GPU as the dominant factor. In CPU-bound scenes, the 83rd-percentile CPU is the weaker half, but its single-thread score of 1012 in 3DMark and 3864 in PassMark indicate that it is not a weak partner. The GPU's support for DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 means modern graphics workloads are well covered in the API sense. Again, these are estimates, not measured frame rates.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The GPU's 98th percentile and Vulkan score of 194041 indicate an extremely high frame-rate ceiling, while the CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 1012 and eight-thread score of 6775 show it can handle both light and moderately threaded game logic. Because there is no measured FPS data, these are estimates, but the scores point toward high-refresh gaming as a realistic use case.

Streaming: The CPU's 12 cores and 20 threads provide substantial parallel headroom, with a PassMark multithread score of 30273 and a 3DMark max-thread score of 9446. That thread count allows background workloads to run alongside the main game workload. The GPU's 12800 shading units and 400 tensor cores add significant compute strength, so the overall pairing is well suited to a workstation that also handles graphics-heavy tasks.

Video editing: The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21751 and PassMark multithread score of 30273 indicate strong multi-threaded processing for timeline and effect work. The GPU's 32 GB of GDDR6 memory and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth provide a large, fast working set for video frames and compositing operations. The GPU's Geekbench OpenCL score of 175286 reinforces the compute capability.

3D rendering: The CPU contributes 12 cores and 20 threads with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21751, while the GPU contributes 65.28 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput and 100 RT cores. The 32 GB GDDR6 frame buffer is well suited to large rendering scenes. With an OpenCL score of 175286, this is a credible configuration for both rasterization and ray-traced rendering workloads.

Software development: The CPU's PassMark integer math score of 106554, extended instructions score of 24184, and data compression score of 375950 indicate strong performance for compilation and data-heavy development tasks. The 12-core, 20-thread layout allows parallel builds, and the PassMark single-thread score of 3864 keeps interactive editing responsive.

Student and office work: The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3864 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1894 indicate responsive everyday performance. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 can handle display output, and the CPU's 65 W TDP keeps the processor side modest. This is more computing capability than typical office work requires, but the scores support smooth general-purpose use.

Balance and Bottleneck

The combined percentile of 91 is built from a CPU at the 83rd percentile and a GPU at the 98th percentile. That gap is the clearest balance signal in the database: the GPU is the dominant component, and in graphics-heavy workloads it sets the ceiling. In CPU-heavy workloads, the CPU is still strong but comparatively less exceptional. The database has no FPS scaling data for this pairing — pairRankByFps is null — so bottleneck behavior cannot be quantified from frame rates.

The CPU's 3DMark thread scaling curve from 1012 single-thread to 9446 max-thread shows that the CPU does not collapse under parallel load. The sixteen-thread score of 8764 is close to the max-thread score of 9446, indicating that the CPU's remaining threads add comparatively less performance beyond that point. Meanwhile, the GPU's 65.28 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth are far higher in absolute terms than the CPU-side numbers, reinforcing that the GPU is the more likely limiting factor in compute-heavy rendering. For gaming, the likely balance is GPU-bound at high graphical demand and CPU-bound in lightly threaded game logic, but without measured FPS, this remains an inference from the percentile split.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's average benchmark score is 32942, and it sits at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. Against its nearest rivals, the i7-12700 is effectively tied with all of them. It is 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core 5 213PTE, which scores 32924; it is 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, which scores 32812; it is 0.4% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which scores 33079; and it is 0.4% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, which scores 33089. This is a tightly grouped set of results, meaning the i7-12700 is not dramatically faster or slower than its closest alternatives in this database.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 184664, and it sits at the 98th percentile among all GPUs. Against its nearest rivals, it is 0.5% ahead of the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB, which scores 183725; it is 1.3% behind the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB, which scores 187147; it is 1.4% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, which scores 182109; and it is 3.7% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D, which scores 178050. The combined picture is clear: this pairing's overall rank is driven by a top-tier GPU attached to a solid but not elite CPU, producing a 91st-percentile combined score.

Who Should Build It

This is a build for users who need workstation-class graphics performance without sacrificing strong CPU throughput. Gamers targeting high-refresh displays should find the GPU's 98th percentile and Vulkan score of 194041 compelling, though the lack of measured FPS means the exact headroom is not confirmed by this database. Content creators working in video editing or 3D rendering can use the CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21751 and the GPU's 32 GB GDDR6 memory, 100 RT cores, and 65.28 TFLOPS FP32 throughput. Software developers benefit from the CPU's integer math score of 106554 and extended instructions score of 24184, with 20 threads for parallel builds.

Students and office users would be overserved by this hardware, but the CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3864 and integrated UHD Graphics 770 mean the system remains responsive for everyday tasks. Small business workstations that need multi-display output can use the GPU's 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs and its workstation-class Ada Lovelace generation. Because both components have an Active production status, this is a current configuration rather than a discontinued one.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-12700 is built on Intel's 10 nm process and uses the Alder Lake architecture, specifically Alder Lake-S. It has 12 cores and 20 threads, a 2.10 GHz base clock, and a 4.90 GHz boost clock. The cache layout is 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 25 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, does not support ECC memory, and has 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the CPU. The integrated GPU is UHD Graphics 770, and the CPU's TDP is 65 W. The multiplier is not unlocked, and the CPU's launch MSRP was $349.

Benchmark results indicate a strong all-around processor. Cinebench R23 scores are 21751 multicore and 1894 single-core, while Cinebench R20 scores are 10639 multicore and 1501 single-core. PassMark results reinforce this: 30273 multithread, 3864 single-thread, 106554 integer math, and 81191 floating point math. The 3DMark max-thread score of 9446 shows that the CPU continues to gain performance as more threads are used. For real workloads, this means responsive single-threaded tasks, strong multi-threaded productivity, and enough thread capacity to feed a very powerful GPU.

Build Overview

This is a desktop build, according to the buildClass field. It pairs the Intel Core i7-12700, a desktop-market Alder Lake-S CPU, with the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation, a workstation-class GPU from the Ada Lovelace generation. The combined percentile of 91 places the overall configuration in the top decile of the database, even though the CPU's 83rd percentile is lower than the GPU's 98th percentile. The GPU is clearly the centerpiece: 32 GB of GDDR6 memory, 576.0 GB/s bandwidth, 12800 shading units, 400 tensor cores, 100 RT cores, and 65.28 TFLOPS FP32 throughput.

The GPU is a dual-slot card, 267 mm long and 112 mm high, with a 1x 16-pin power connector and a suggested PSU of 600 W. Its TDP is 250 W, compared with the CPU's 65 W TDP. The GPU's display outputs are 4x DisplayPort 1.4a, reinforcing the workstation multi-monitor angle. Overall, this is a high-end desktop pairing in which the GPU defines the system's tier and the CPU supplies enough thread and single-core performance to keep up in most workloads.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses Intel Socket 1700. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel operation, which means the memory subsystem can be built around either generation, depending on the motherboard. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the GPU itself uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. That means the CPU's PCIe generation headroom is not fully used by this GPU, but the x16 electrical interface is present.

Power considerations are straightforward from the data: the GPU's suggested PSU is 600 W, the GPU's TDP is 250 W, and the CPU's TDP is 65 W. The 600 W suggestion provides a large cushion above the two processor TDP figures. The GPU's predecessor is listed as Workstation Ampere, and its successor is Blackwell PRO W, making that successor line the evident next step on the graphics side. A sensible future upgrade would be moving to the listed GPU successor while retaining the current CPU and platform memory support, since the CPU socket, memory capabilities, and PCIe layout are already defined by the existing platform.
