Memory configuration includes 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s.

The GPU features 6400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. Ray tracing is handled by 50 RT cores, while AI acceleration is provided by 200 tensor cores. The compute capabilities are rated at 32.15 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (at a 1:1 ratio). Pixel fill rate is 201.0 GPixel/s, and texture fill rate is 502.4 GTexel/s. The card has a TDP of 275 W, uses a dual-slot design, and requires a single 16-pin power connector. Display outputs include one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b connections.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark score for this GPU is 2690. This score places the RTX 5070 SUPER in the 18th percentile of all GPUs, which is a low position relative to the broader GPU landscape. The nearest rivals based on average scores are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, which scores 2664 with a delta of 1%, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662 with a delta of 1.1%, the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660 with a delta of 1.1%, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645 with a delta of 1.7%. The data shows the RTX 5070 SUPER is only 1% ahead of the Quadro K1100M and 1.1% ahead of the GT 1030, indicating its benchmark performance is only marginally better than these significantly older or lower-tier cards. For rendering workloads, the 32.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and the 50 RT cores suggest the card is capable of hardware-accelerated ray tracing, but its low percentile ranking means it will likely struggle with high-resolution or high-detail rendering tasks compared to more powerful GPUs.

Benchmark Performance

The Intel Core i7-12700E achieves a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2406 and a single-core score of 339. In Cinebench R20, the multicore score is 10029 and single-core is 1415. The Cinebench R23 results show a multicore score of 23879 and a single-core score of 3371. Geekbench results are 10676 for multicore and 2094 for single-core. The average benchmark score for this CPU is 6776.

The CPU's percentile versus all CPUs is 62, indicating it performs better than 62% of all processors in the database. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX with an average score of 6760 and a delta of 0.2%, the Intel Xeon Gold 6154 with a score of 6803 and a delta of -0.4%, the Intel Xeon D-2775TE with a score of 6711 and a delta of 1%, and the Intel Xeon Gold 5317 with a score of 6710 and a delta of 1%. The delta values show the i7-12700E is essentially on par with these rivals, being only 0.2% faster than the Threadripper 2970WX and 0.4% slower than the Xeon Gold 6154. This places the CPU in a competitive position against high-end workstation and server processors from its generation.

The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2690 puts it in the 18th percentile of all GPUs, which is a stark contrast to the CPU's 62nd percentile. The combined picture is that of a system with a strong processor paired with a relatively weak graphics card. The combined percentile for the pairing is 40, reflecting the GPU's drag on overall system performance. In terms of raw scores, the CPU's average benchmark score of 6776 is more than twice the GPU's average benchmark score of 2690, illustrating the disparity between the two components. This suggests that in mixed workloads, the GPU will be the first component to reach its limits.

Balance and Bottleneck

The performance data clearly identifies the GPU as the bottleneck in this pairing. The CPU sits at the 62nd percentile while the GPU is at the 18th percentile, a difference of 44 percentile points. In GPU-bound tasks such as gaming at high resolutions or 3D rendering, the RTX 5070 SUPER's low percentile ranking will limit frame rates and render times, regardless of the CPU's headroom. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23879 indicates substantial processing capability, but this power cannot be fully utilized if the GPU cannot keep up with the data being sent to it.

Conversely, in CPU-bound workloads such as video encoding, software compilation, or spreadsheet calculations, the i7-12700E will be the limiting factor, but it will still perform well due to its 62nd percentile standing. The lack of measured FPS data for this exact combination means that specific scaling cannot be quantified, but the percentile gap suggests that increasing GPU load will show diminishing returns. The GPU's nearest rivals, such as the GT 1030, are entry-level cards, and the RTX 5070 SUPER's score is only 1.1% higher, which implies that the GPU's performance ceiling is low. For a balanced system, the GPU would need to be upgraded to a model with a higher percentile ranking to match the CPU's capabilities. The data indicates that in any workload that stresses the graphics pipeline, the GPU will reach its maximum output long before the CPU does.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-12700E is a desktop processor from the Core 12th Gen series, built on the Alder Lake architecture at a 10 nm process node. It features 12 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The TDP is 65 W, and it uses the Intel Socket 1700. Cache configuration includes 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, and has PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics are provided by UHD Graphics 770. The launch MSRP is $344.

The CPU's benchmark scores indicate strong multi-threaded performance. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23879 is notably high, and the Geekbench multicore score of 10676 confirms its capability in parallel workloads. The single-core score of 3371 in Cinebench R23 suggests good performance in lightly-threaded tasks. The average benchmark score of 6776 places it in the 62nd percentile, with its nearest rival being the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX at a delta of only 0.2%. This means the i7-12700E is statistically indistinguishable from the Threadripper in average performance, despite being a mainstream desktop chip rather than a high-end workstation part.

For real workloads, the 12-core/20-thread configuration is well-suited for multi-threaded applications like video encoding, 3D rendering, and software compilation. The 25 MB of L3 cache helps with data-heavy tasks, and the support for both DDR4 and DDR5 allows for flexible memory configurations. The lack of an unlocked multiplier means overclocking is not an option, but the boost clock of 4.80 GHz provides solid out-of-the-box performance. The CPU's 62nd percentile ranking shows it is a capable processor, sitting just above the midpoint of all CPUs, and its performance is comparable to that of much more expensive workstation processors like the Intel Xeon Gold 5317.

Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this exact CPU and GPU combination, so all FPS figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2690, which places it in the 18th percentile of all GPUs, indicates that gaming performance will be modest at best. Given that the GPU's nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030, is an entry-level card, the RTX 5070 SUPER is expected to handle 1080p gaming at low to medium settings in modern titles, but it will likely struggle with high settings or higher resolutions.

At 1080p resolution, the GPU's 18 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient, but the low compute throughput of 32.15 TFLOPS will limit frame rates. The 672.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is adequate for 1080p, but not exceptional. At 1440p, the GPU's low percentile ranking becomes more of a factor, and frame rates are expected to drop significantly. At 4K, the RTX 5070 SUPER is likely to be insufficient for smooth gameplay in demanding titles, as its score is only 1% higher than the Quadro K1100M, a mobile workstation GPU from a previous generation. The CPU's strong single-core score of 3371 in Cinebench R23 means it will not be a bottleneck at lower resolutions, but the GPU will cap performance. Gamers should expect playable frame rates at 1080p with reduced settings, but the system is not suited for high-refresh-rate or high-resolution gaming.

Usage Scenarios

For high-refresh gaming, this system is not recommended. The GPU's 18th percentile ranking means frame rates will be too low to take advantage of a high-refresh-rate monitor in most games. The CPU's 62nd percentile is sufficient, but the GPU will limit performance.

Streaming is a mixed scenario. The CPU's 12 cores and 20 threads, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23879, can handle software encoding without impacting gameplay significantly. However, the GPU's low performance means the gameplay itself will be limited, so stream quality will be constrained by the graphics output.

Video editing is a strong use case for the CPU. The high multicore scores in Cinebench R15 (2406), R20 (10029), and R23 (23879) indicate fast rendering and export times. The GPU's 18 GB of VRAM can assist with effects and previews, but its low compute power means GPU-accelerated effects will be slower.

3D rendering benefits from the CPU's 62nd percentile, which is competitive with workstation chips like the Xeon Gold 6154. The 32.15 TFLOPS of GPU compute is available for rendering, but the GPU's low percentile will make it the limiting factor in GPU-accelerated renderers.

Software development is well-served by the CPU. The 12 cores and 20 threads handle compilation tasks efficiently, as shown by the Geekbench multicore score of 10676. The GPU is less relevant for most development tasks, so its low performance is not a major drawback.

Student and office work is easily handled by this system. The CPU's single-core score of 3371 ensures responsive daily use, and the GPU is sufficient for basic graphical tasks. The 18 GB of VRAM is overkill for office applications, but it does not hinder performance.

Build Overview

This is a desktop build combining an Intel Core i7-12700E processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER graphics card. The CPU is a 12-core, 20-thread Alder Lake processor with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz and a 65 W TDP, placed in the 62nd percentile of all CPUs. The GPU is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture card with 18 GB of GDDR7 memory and 6400 shading units, but it sits in only the 18th percentile of all GPUs. The combined percentile of 40 places this system in the mid-range tier of overall performance. This is a pairing where the processor is substantially more capable than the graphics card, making the overall system tier lower than what the CPU alone would suggest. The build is best described as a productivity-focused desktop with limited gaming capability.

Who Should Build It

This build is suitable for users who prioritize CPU-intensive tasks over graphics performance. Software developers will benefit from the 12-core processor with its Geekbench multicore score of 10676, making compilation and testing efficient. Students and small business users performing office work, web browsing, and data analysis will find the CPU's single-core performance of 3371 in Cinebench R23 more than adequate for daily tasks. Content creators working on video editing will appreciate the CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23879 for fast exports, though they should not rely on the GPU for heavy effects work.

For gamers, this build is only appropriate for those playing at 1080p with low to medium settings, given the GPU's 18th percentile ranking. It is not recommended for high-refresh-rate gaming or 1440p/4K gaming. The system is not suited for 3D artists or AI researchers who need strong GPU compute, as the RTX 5070 SUPER's 32.15 TFLOPS is low relative to other GPUs. Small business workstations that run multi-threaded applications like accounting software or database management will run smoothly on the CPU, but any task that offloads to the GPU will be slow. In summary, this build targets users who need a strong processor for multi-threaded work and are willing to accept weak graphics performance.
