# Intel Core i7-13700 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER — Benchmark Database Analysis

This analysis covers a desktop pairing of the Intel Core i7-13700 processor and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER graphics card. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination in the FACT PACK, so all gaming frame-rate discussion is estimated from the benchmark scores and component characteristics. The combined percentile for this build is 52, placing it in the middle of all tracked CPU+GPU pairings.

Gaming Performance

Since the FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this combination, gaming performance must be inferred from the individual component benchmarks. The RTX 5080 SUPER’s single benchmark score of 3075 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 places it at the 19th percentile among all GPUs — a low position that suggests this card, while architecturally advanced, may not deliver top-tier rasterization performance in this specific test. The GPU sits within 3.6% of the GeForce GTX 860M and 3.1% of the GeForce 820A in average score, which indicates that the Steel Nomad result may not fully capture the card's capabilities given its modern Blackwell 2.0 architecture and 24 GB of GDDR7 memory.

For 1080p gaming, the CPU’s strong single-threaded performance — a Passmark single-thread score of 4101 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 1092 — suggests the i7-13700 can feed frames efficiently. The boost clock of 5.20 GHz and 16 cores with 24 threads provide ample headroom for modern game engines that favor high clock speeds. At this resolution, the CPU is likely the primary determinant of frame pacing, and the data indicates the i7-13700 is well-equipped for high-refresh-rate 1080p play.

At 1440p, the balance shifts toward the GPU. The RTX 5080 SUPER’s 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 1.02 TB/s memory bandwidth suggest it can handle demanding titles at this resolution, though the low percentile rank (19th) in the Steel Nomad benchmark raises questions about its real-world rasterization throughput. The 24 GB VRAM capacity is generous for 1440p, allowing for high-resolution textures without memory pressure.

For 4K gaming, the picture becomes murkier. The GPU’s 112 ROPs and 293.1 GPixel/s pixel rate provide a theoretical foundation for 4K output, but the benchmark data does not support confident predictions. The 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores indicate strong ray tracing and DLSS potential, which could help maintain playable frame rates at 4K with upscaling technologies. However, without measured FPS data, any 4K estimate remains speculative — the data suggests this pairing is more suited to 1440p high-refresh gaming than to 4K ultra settings.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU benchmarks paint a picture of a well-rounded mid-to-high-range processor. The i7-13700 achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25369 and a single-core score of 2008.5, demonstrating strong both multi-threaded and single-threaded capability. The Geekbench scores of 17025 (multi-core) and 2329 (single-core) reinforce this profile. The Passmark multi-thread score of 36387 and single-thread score of 4101 place the CPU at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, indicating it outperforms the majority of processors in the database.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in average benchmark score are remarkably close: the AMD Ryzen 7 160 (deltaPct 0), Intel Core i9-12900T (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Ryzen 7 7735H (deltaPct -0.1), and AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (deltaPct 0.1). This clustering suggests the i7-13700 sits in a competitive performance band where small architectural differences determine ranking.

The GPU’s benchmark picture is less encouraging. Its sole 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 3075 places it at the 19th percentile, with nearest rivals including the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 (deltaPct -2.8), NVIDIA GeForce 820A (deltaPct 3.1), Intel Arc Pro B60 (deltaPct -3.4), and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M (deltaPct 3.6). These are not comparable modern gaming GPUs — the Quadro P1000 and GTX 860M are older or workstation-oriented parts — which suggests the Steel Nomad benchmark may not be representative of this card’s gaming performance. The combined picture is one of a strong CPU paired with a GPU whose benchmark data is sparse and potentially misleading.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13700 is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel’s 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm². It operates with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, with a TDP of 65 watts. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache — a configuration that supports both high-frequency single-threaded workloads and substantial multi-threaded throughput.

The benchmark scores indicate a processor that excels in both domains. The 3DMark multi-thread score of 11737 with 16 threads and 10075 with 8 threads shows scaling efficiency — moving from 8 to 16 threads yields an 16.4% improvement, suggesting the architecture handles additional threads without significant contention. The single-thread score of 1092 in 3DMark and 4101 in Passmark confirms strong per-core performance, which is critical for gaming and lightly-threaded applications.

For real workloads, the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25369 suggests this CPU can handle video rendering, 3D modeling, and software compilation with reasonable efficiency. The Passmark data compression score of 443900 and integer math score of 138974 indicate strong performance in data-intensive tasks. The floating-point math score of 97723 and extended instructions score of 26578 point to capable scientific and engineering compute performance. The data encryption score of 25653 shows moderate throughput for cryptographic workloads.

The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel bus, and includes ECC memory support — a feature often valued in workstation environments. Its integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback display output, though the discrete GPU makes this largely irrelevant for this build.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The i7-13700’s 5.20 GHz boost clock and single-thread score of 4101 in Passmark make it well-suited for driving high frame rates at 1080p. The RTX 5080 SUPER’s 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 1.02 TB/s bandwidth should support high-refresh 1440p gaming, though the low GPU percentile (19th) in Steel Nomad introduces uncertainty. The pairing is likely capable of 144Hz+ gaming at 1080p and solid 144Hz performance at 1440p in many titles.

Streaming: The 16 cores and 24 threads provide ample headroom for simultaneous gaming and encoding workloads. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking means it outperforms most processors, which should handle x264 encoding alongside gaming without significant frame drops. The GPU’s tensor cores (336) could also support NVENC-based encoding, offloading the work from the CPU entirely.

Video editing: The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25369 and Passmark multi-thread score of 36387 indicate strong rendering performance for video exports. The GPU’s 24 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.02 TB/s bandwidth are well-suited for handling large video buffers and effects processing. The combination should handle 4K video editing timelines with multiple effects layers, though the GPU’s modest percentile rank suggests effects-heavy workflows may see slower performance than the memory capacity implies.

3D rendering: The CPU’s multi-threaded scores (Cinebench R20 multi-core 12806, R15 multi-core 3692) indicate solid CPU-based rendering performance. The GPU’s 10752 shading units and 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 provide substantial compute for GPU-accelerated renderers. The 84 RT cores support ray-traced rendering workflows, and the 336 tensor cores enable AI-accelerated denoising. This is a capable 3D rendering workstation, though not a top-tier one given the GPU’s benchmark position.

Software development: The CPU’s Passmark find prime numbers score of 147 and integer math score of 138974 indicate strong performance for code compilation and data processing tasks. The 30 MB L3 cache and 24 threads support parallel builds and large codebases. The 85th CPU percentile means developers will see faster compile times than most systems, though the GPU is largely irrelevant for most development workflows.

Student and office work: The i7-13700’s 65W TDP and integrated graphics make this an efficient platform for everyday tasks, though the discrete GPU is overkill for document editing and web browsing. The CPU’s single-thread score of 4101 in Passmark ensures snappy application responsiveness. The 24 GB GPU memory is far beyond office needs, making this pairing better suited for engineering students running CAD or simulation software.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data reveals a significant imbalance between CPU and GPU performance tiers. The CPU sits at the 85th percentile while the GPU sits at the 19th percentile — a 66-point gap that suggests the GPU is the limiting factor in most gaming and graphics workloads. The CPU’s benchmark scores are competitive with rivals within 0.1% of its average score, while the GPU’s nearest rivals include the Quadro P1000 and GTX 860M, which are far older parts.

In CPU-bound scenarios — such as 1080p gaming with lower graphics settings, or productivity tasks like code compilation — the i7-13700’s 85th percentile ranking means it will not bottleneck the system. The 16 cores and 5.20 GHz boost clock provide substantial headroom. However, the GPU’s low percentile suggests that in GPU-bound scenarios — such as 1440p or 4K gaming with ultra settings — the RTX 5080 SUPER may hold the system back.

The FPS scaling implications are clear: at 1080p, the CPU dominates and the system will perform well; at higher resolutions, the GPU becomes the constraint. The lack of measured FPS data makes precise bottleneck quantification impossible, but the percentile disparity is the strongest evidence available. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 3075, which is within 3.6% of the GTX 860M’s score, suggests that this card’s rasterization performance may be significantly lower than its modern architecture and memory specifications imply.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture using TSMC’s 5 nm process, with 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die. The GB203 chip contains 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs. The memory subsystem consists of 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 1.02 TB/s of bandwidth at 2000 MHz (32 Gbps effective). The base clock is 2295 MHz with a boost clock of 2617 MHz.

The GPU’s compute capabilities are substantial on paper: 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 performance (1:1 ratio), 879.3 GTexel/s texture rate, and 293.1 GPixel/s pixel rate. The 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for ray tracing and AI workloads. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, with display outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

However, the benchmark data is troubling. The single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3075 places the card at the 19th percentile, with the Quadro P1000 (a much older workstation card) scoring 3163 — 2.8% higher. The GeForce 820A and GTX 860M, both legacy mobile parts, score within 3.6% of this card. This suggests either the benchmark is poorly suited to this architecture, or the card’s real-world gaming performance is far below what its specifications imply. The 415W TDP and 1x 16-pin power connector indicate high power draw, which is consistent with a high-end card, but the benchmark data does not support that classification.

Build Overview

This is a desktop build pairing the Intel Core i7-13700, a 16-core/24-thread Raptor Lake processor, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER, a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU. The CPU is a strong performer at the 85th percentile, while the GPU sits at the 19th percentile based on limited benchmark data. The combined percentile of 52 places this system in the mid-range tier of tracked builds.

The CPU is clearly the stronger component in this pairing. Its benchmark scores — including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25369 and a Passmark multi-thread score of 36387 — demonstrate solid performance across a wide range of workloads. The GPU, despite its modern architecture and generous 24 GB GDDR7 memory, shows benchmark results that are surprisingly low, with a Steel Nomad score of 3075 that places it near much older parts.

This is a desktop-class build (buildClass: desktop), which means it is intended for stationary use with access to the 415W TDP GPU and its 1x 16-pin power connector. The overall tier, based on the combined 52nd percentile, is mid-range — a system that can handle most tasks but does not represent the top echelon of performance.

Who Should Build It

Gamers targeting 1080p high-refresh gaming will find this build well-suited, as the CPU’s 5.20 GHz boost clock and 85th percentile ranking ensure the processor is not the bottleneck. The GPU’s 24 GB VRAM and 1.02 TB/s bandwidth provide ample memory for modern game textures, though the low GPU percentile suggests frame rates may disappoint in demanding titles.

Content creators working in video editing will benefit from the CPU’s strong multi-threaded scores — Cinebench R23 multi-core 25369 and Passmark multi-thread 36387 — which accelerate export and rendering times. The GPU’s 24 GB GDDR7 memory supports large video buffers, but the modest benchmark score suggests GPU-accelerated effects may not perform as well as the memory capacity implies.

Software developers compiling large codebases will appreciate the CPU’s integer math score of 138974 and data compression score of 443900, which indicate fast compilation and data processing. The 16 cores and 24 threads handle parallel builds efficiently. The GPU is largely irrelevant for this use case, making this build overkill for pure development work.

Students in engineering or scientific fields running simulation software will see strong CPU performance — the floating-point math score of 97723 and extended instructions score of 26578 support technical computing. The GPU’s tensor cores and 24 GB memory could accelerate machine learning workloads, though the 19th percentile GPU ranking suggests limited compute throughput.

Small business workstations handling data analysis, database operations, or office productivity will find the CPU’s 30 MB L3 cache and 24 threads sufficient for multitasking. The ECC memory support is a bonus for data integrity. However, the GPU is excessive for these workloads, and the 415W TDP will increase power costs without proportional benefit.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core i7-13700 uses Intel Socket 1700, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The CPU provides Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes, allowing for high-bandwidth expansion cards. The platform supports ECC memory, which is valuable for workstation builds.

The RTX 5080 SUPER connects via PCIe 5.0 x16 and requires a 1x 16-pin power connector, with a TDP of 415W. The suggested PSU is not specified in the FACT PACK, but the 415W GPU TDP combined with the 65W CPU TDP means the total system power draw is significant. A capable power supply is essential for stable operation.

For upgrades, the CPU can be replaced with another Socket 1700 processor, though the platform is limited to 13th Gen Core series. The GPU can be upgraded to a higher-performing card, though the 19th percentile benchmark result suggests that most modern GPUs would outperform the RTX 5080 SUPER. The memory can be expanded or upgraded to DDR5 if not already in use.

The most sensible next upgrade would be a GPU replacement, given the performance disparity between the CPU’s 85th percentile and the GPU’s 19th percentile. A card with a higher benchmark score would better balance the system. Alternatively, adding more DDR5 memory could benefit memory-intensive workloads, though the dual-channel bus limits scalability. The platform’s Gen 5 PCIe support ensures future expansion cards will not be bandwidth-limited.
