The Intel Core i7-13700T paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is a desktop combination that leans on a low-TDP, high-core-count processor and a mid-range RDNA 2 graphics card to land in the upper tiers of the benchmark database, with a combined percentile of 79 against all listed systems. The data shows a build whose CPU sits at the 85th percentile of all CPUs and whose GPU sits at the 72nd percentile of all GPUs — an uncommon pairing of a power-efficient 35 W desktop chip with a 230 W discrete graphics card. This page walks through the measured scores, the balance between the two components, and what the numbers imply for real workloads. One note up front: no measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination in the database, so all gaming frame-rate discussion below is framed as estimates derived from the benchmark scores rather than direct measurements.

CPU Analysis

The Core i7-13700T is a 16-core, 24-thread Raptor Lake-S processor built on Intel's 10 nm process, with a die size of 257 mm². Its hybrid design gives it a large L3 cache pool of 30 MB (shared), 2 MB of L2 per core, and 80 KB of L1 per core. The defining characteristic is the 35 W TDP against a 4.90 GHz boost clock — a wide spread that shows Intel binning the part for efficiency rather than sustained maximum frequency. Base clock is listed at 1400.00 MHz, which reflects the conservative power envelope; the chip is designed to burst high and settle low.

The benchmark scores tell a clear story: this is near-flagship multi-core performance delivered at a fraction of the power draw. Cinebench R23 multi-core comes in at 23248, with single-core at 3282. Cinebench R20 posts 9764 multi-core and 1378 single-core, and the older R15 test records 2343 multi-core and 330 single-core. Geekbench shows 11573 multi-core and 2490 single-core, while Passmark lists a multithreaded score of 28211 alongside a single-thread score of 3821.

What do these numbers mean for real workloads? The single-core results are strong — a 3282 in Cinebench R23 single-core indicates snappy responsiveness in applications that remain lightly threaded, such as most office software, web browsers, and many game engines. The multi-core results put the chip in genuine content-creation territory: 23248 in R23 multi-core is enough to chew through video encodes, code compilation, and 3D rendering passes without long waits. Passmark's sub-tests flesh out the picture: integer math at 105397, floating point math at 73928, data compression at 327700, data encryption at 19230, extended instructions at 19306, physics at 1769, and random string sorting at 34939. The find-prime-numbers result of 127 is a low absolute figure typical of that test's scale, but the encryption and compression numbers confirm capable throughput for file-archival and security workloads.

Against its nearest rivals, the i7-13700T sits in a statistical dead heat. The average benchmark score of 35403 places it within a tenth of a percent of the Intel Core 5 213PE (35428, deltaPct -0.1), the Intel Core i7-12700KF (35365, deltaPct 0.1), and essentially level with the Intel Core i5-13600T (35305, deltaPct 0.3) and Intel Core i7-12700K (35287, deltaPct 0.3). The notable takeaway: a 35 W TDP part matching the average performance of the 12700K is the headline data point here — the efficiency story is real, not marketing.

Balance and Bottleneck

The percentile data frames the balance question directly: the CPU sits at the 85th percentile versus all CPUs, the GPU at the 72nd percentile versus all GPUs, and the combined system at the 79th percentile. The processor is the relatively stronger component. In GPU-bound scenarios — high-resolution gaming with ultra settings — the RX 6700 XT will be the limiting factor, and the 13700T's multi-core headroom will go partially unused. In CPU-bound scenarios — low-resolution gaming aimed at high refresh rates, heavy multitasking, streaming with hardware encoding plus game logic plus chat overlays — the GPU becomes the constraint long before the processor runs out of threads.

The Passmark physics score of 1769 and single-thread score of 3821 are the numbers that matter for frame pacing in CPU-limited games, and both are healthy. Since no measured FPS data exists for this pairing, the scaling argument must be made from the scores: at higher resolutions and ultra presets, estimated frame rates will track the GPU's Passmark G3D score of 19786 and its 72nd-percentile position, meaning the card will saturate before the CPU does. The practical consequence is that upgrading the GPU later would yield more gain than upgrading the CPU, because the 13700T already matches the average of i7-12700K-class parts.

There is a second, quieter bottleneck consideration: memory. The platform supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, and the CPU's memory bandwidth figure is not specified in the data, but dual-channel operation means memory throughput is a shared resource across 24 threads. Workloads that stream large datasets — rendering, compilation — will benefit from the fastest supported memory the platform allows rather than the CPU's raw core count alone.

FAQ

Q: How does the i7-13700T compare to the i7-12700K in benchmarks?

A: The data shows they are effectively equal. The 13700T's average benchmark score of 35403 sits 0.3 percent above the 12700K's 35287, while the 13700T carries a 35 W TDP versus the 12700K's position as a standard desktop part.

Q: Does this build have measured FPS numbers in the database?

A: No. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact CPU and GPU combination, so all gaming frame-rate expectations on this page are estimates derived from the benchmark scores, principally the GPU's Passmark G3D score of 19786 and its 72nd percentile standing.

Q: Is the CPU good for content creation?

A: Yes. A Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23248 and Geekbench multi-core score of 11573 place it in content-creation territory, and the Passmark data compression score of 327700 supports strong file-workload throughput.

Q: How much memory can the platform use, and what type?

A: The i7-13700T supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus. ECC memory is not supported.

Q: What power supply does this build need?

A: The GPU's suggested PSU rating is 550 W. The GPU's TDP is 230 W and the CPU's TDP is 35 W, so the suggested rating leaves room for the rest of the system.

Q: Can the CPU be overclocked?

A: The multiplier is unlocked, so yes — the 13700T offers overclocking headroom on paper despite its efficiency-focused 35 W TDP binning.

Q: Is the RX 6700 XT still in production?

A: No. Its production status is listed as End-of-life; it was released on 2021-03-02 with a launch MSRP of 479 USD.

Who Should Build It

High-refresh 1440p gamers are the core audience. The GPU's 72nd percentile standing and 12 GB of GDDR6 make ultra-setting 1440p gaming realistic in estimated terms, and the CPU's 85th percentile multi-core performance ensures frame delivery will not collapse in busy scenes. Content creators — video editors and 3D artists — get a CPU with R23 multi-core output of 23248, enough for serious timeline work, while the card's 13.21 TFLOPS of FP32 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 93500 support GPU-accelerated viewport and render tasks. Software developers benefit from the 16-core/24-thread layout during compilation and from the 3821 Passmark single-thread score during everyday IDE work. Students and small-business workstation builders get a compelling angle too: the 35 W CPU TDP means a quiet, cool system for office suites, browser-heavy research, and light media work, with the UHD Graphics 770 integrated GPU available as a fallback. Finally, anyone building a compact or efficiency-focused desktop — where thermal budget is limited — gets a CPU that matches 12700K-class average performance at a fraction of the rated power draw, though the dual-slot, 230 W graphics card still demands reasonable case airflow.

Benchmark Performance

Starting with the processor's full result set: Cinebench R15 multi-core 2343, single-core 330; Cinebench R20 multi-core 9764, single-core 1378; Cinebench R23 multi-core 23248, single-core 3282; Geekbench multi-core 11573, single-core 2490. Passmark contributes multithreaded 28211, single-thread 3821, integer math 105397, floating point math 73928, data compression 327700, data encryption 19230, extended instructions 19306, physics 1769, and random string sorting 34939. The CPU's average benchmark score across the database is 35403, placing it at the 85th percentile of all CPUs.

The graphics card's results span synthetics and compute: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 2435, Geekbench Metal at 130896, Geekbench OpenCL at 44152, Geekbench Vulkan at 93500, and Passmark G3D at 19786. Passmark's per-API breakdown reads DirectX 9 at 242, DirectX 10 at 124, DirectX 11 at 173, DirectX 12 at 77, G2D at 951, and GPU compute at 9336. The GPU's average benchmark score is 27425, at the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, with a GPU-compute score of 9336 indicating solid general-purpose compute capability.

The combined picture: a combined percentile of 79 for the desktop build class. The GPU's nearest rivals quantify its standing precisely — level with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile (27435, deltaPct 0), half a percent behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (27565, deltaPct -0.5), 1.1 percent ahead of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell (27135), and 1.5 percent behind the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 (27839). Being within half a percent of an RTX 3090 on average score is the most striking line in the rival table, though averages blend gaming and compute tests and should not be read as a per-game equivalence.

Gaming Performance

As stated at the top, no measured FPS data exists for this exact combination in the database — the measuredFps field is empty and dataIsMeasured is false — so the following discussion consists of estimates derived from the benchmark scores, not recorded frame rates.

Working from the GPU's numbers: a Passmark G3D score of 19786, a 72nd percentile position, and average score parity with the RTX 4070 Mobile and near-parity with the RTX 3090 place the RX 6700 XT in upper-mid-range territory. The 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth is the key spec for ultra-settings gaming: 12 GB of VRAM is enough to hold ultra texture pools at 1440p without spilling into system memory. Estimated expectations are high-refresh gameplay at 1080p ultra — where the CPU's single-thread performance becomes the more relevant ceiling — and comfortably playable ultra-settings performance at 1440p. At 4K ultra, estimates from the scores suggest frame rates drop toward the threshold where settings reductions would be advisable, consistent with the card's percentile position rather than flagship standing.

Ray tracing deserves a caveat. The card carries 40 RT cores and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), so hardware-accelerated ray tracing is present, but RDNA 2.0's RT throughput at this tier means heavy RT effects at ultra settings would reduce estimated frame rates below the rasterization-based expectations above. The API support list — Vulkan 1.4 and OpenGL 4.6 alongside DirectX 12 Ultimate — covers every modern engine.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The CPU's Passmark physics score of 1769 and single-thread score of 3821 support strong frame delivery, while the GPU's 19786 G3D score points to estimated high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. This is the build's strongest scenario.

Streaming: Sixteen cores and twenty-four threads, plus a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23248, leave ample headroom for encoding, game logic, and overlay software to coexist. The RX 6700 XT handles the rendering load; the 13700T absorbs everything else.

Video editing: The multi-core scores (R23 23248, Geekbench 11573, Passmark multithreaded 28211) cover timeline scrubbing and export passes, while the GPU's OpenCL score of 44152 and compute score of 9336 support GPU-accelerated effects. The 12 GB VRAM buffer helps with high-resolution footage.

3D rendering: GPU rendering is backed by 13.21 TFLOPS FP32 and the Vulkan score of 93500; CPU rendering leans on the 30 MB shared L3 cache and 16 cores. The Metal score of 130896 is relevant for cross-platform render engines that use that API.

Software development: Compilation scales with cores, and 24 threads with a 35 W TDP mean long builds without thermal drama. The single-thread score of 3821 keeps IDEs and debuggers responsive.

Student and office work: The 35 W TDP enables quiet, cool operation for documents, browsing, and video calls, and the UHD Graphics 770 iGPU can drive displays if the discrete card is removed for maintenance. The Passmark G2D score of 951 covers desktop compositing comfortably.

Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build (buildClass: desktop) pairing a 13th-generation Intel Raptor Lake efficiency-binned processor with an RDNA 2.0 graphics card that is now end-of-life. Overall tier, per the database percentiles: CPU at the 85th percentile, GPU at the 72nd, combined system at the 79th. That spread characterizes the machine precisely — a high-end CPU paired with an upper-mid-range GPU. The CPU launched on 2023-01-03 with a launch MSRP of $384; the GPU launched on 2021-03-02 with a launch MSRP of 479 USD. The processor remains in Active production status while the card is End-of-life, which matters for long-term serviceability: replacement GPUs will be the harder part to source.

GPU Analysis

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is built on the Navi 22 die: TSMC's 7 nm process, 17,200 million transistors, a 335 mm² die, and a transistor density of 51.3M per mm². The RDNA 2.0 architecture provides 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, along with 40 RT cores. There are no tensor cores — this is a gaming-first design without dedicated matrix hardware.

Clocks run at a 2321 MHz base, 2424 MHz game clock, and 2581 MHz boost. Memory is 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, running at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective) for 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Throughput figures: 165.2 GPixel/s pixel rate, 413.0 GTexel/s texture rate, 13.21 TFLOPS FP32, and 26.43 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 rate.

What the scores mean for rendering: the FP32 figure and the Vulkan score of 93500 indicate a card that can accelerate viewport work and GPU renderers meaningfully, while the 12 GB VRAM pool is the spec that matters most for scene size — larger texture libraries and higher-resolution assets fit where smaller-buffer cards would stall. The Passmark DirectX 12 result of 77 versus DirectX 11's 173 reflects how modern low-overhead APIs shift load distribution rather than raw capability. Physical installation requires a dual-slot card with one 6-pin and one 8-pin power connector; the card measures 267 mm long, 110 mm tall, and 40 mm wide, and connects over PCIe 4.0 x16 with one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform foundation is Intel Socket 1700, giving the build a defined CPU upgrade path within that socket's processor family. Memory support covers both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus — DDR5 is the forward-looking choice for a platform expected to last. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes (CPU only), which exceeds the GPU's PCIe 4.0 x16 requirement; the graphics card will run at its own interface level, and the Gen 5 lanes remain available for future storage add-ins. ECC memory is not supported, which rules the platform out of some workstation-critical deployments.

Power headroom is straightforward: the GPU's suggested PSU is 550 W against a GPU TDP of 230 W and a CPU TDP of 35 W. That leaves comfortable margin for the rest of the system, and the efficiency-binned CPU means total system draw is dominated almost entirely by the graphics card. Because the CPU already matches the average performance of the i7-12700K (deltaPct 0.3) and sits at the 85th percentile, the sensible next upgrade is the GPU: the card is end-of-life, and the build's balance data shows the GPU as the limiting component at the 72nd percentile. Replacing it lifts the combined 79th-percentile standing directly, while the processor's headroom — including its unlocked multiplier — remains available to feed a faster card for years of further service.
