The Intel Core i7-13700TE paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a desktop build that combines a 35 W embedded-class CPU with a flagship 575 W GPU. Benchmark data indicates the CPU sits at the 82nd percentile among all processors, while the GPU reaches the 92nd percentile, giving the pairing a combined percentile of 87. It is important to note that no measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination; the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data. Consequently, all gaming frame-rate discussions below are estimated from the benchmark scores, not from direct testing.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The RTX 5090’s raw output is massive, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 18,355 and a Passmark G3D score of 39,650. The CPU’s single-thread performance, measured at 2,639 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 3,422 in Passmark single-thread, is sufficient to keep frame pacing stable in most titles. At 4K, the GPU’s 32 GB GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth will dominate, but at 1080p or 1440p, the CPU’s 16 cores and 24 threads may occasionally limit the frame rate in lightly threaded games.

Streaming: The i7-13700TE has 16 cores and 24 threads, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18,698 and a Passmark multithread score of 22,754. These numbers indicate that the CPU can handle simultaneous game rendering and software encoding without major frame drops. The GPU’s dedicated tensor cores (680) and RT cores (170) also support hardware-accelerated encoding and broadcasting, though the exact encoding capability is not listed in the FACT PACK.

Video editing: Editing timelines benefits from both CPU multi-core and GPU compute. The CPU’s Passmark integer math score of 97,911 and floating-point math score of 66,421 suggest strong media processing throughput. The GPU’s Geekbench OpenCL score of 334,370 and Vulkan score of 376,728 indicate that effects rendering, color grading, and export acceleration would be handled decisively. The 32 GB VRAM is ample for large project previews and multi-stream compositing.

3D rendering: For CPU-based rendering, the i7-13700TE delivers a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 1,884, R20 multi-core of 7,853, and R23 multi-core of 18,698. These numbers place it within 0.2% of the Intel Core i7-12700F, a well-regarded desktop chip. For GPU rendering, the RTX 5090’s FP32 throughput of 104.8 TFLOPS and 21760 shading units make it a high-end compute device. The combination is capable of both viewport interactivity and final-frame production.

Software development: Compilation and test workloads benefit from multi-threading. The CPU’s Passmark integer math score of 97,911 and data compression score of 243,565 indicate strong parallel throughput. The 30 MB L3 cache and dual-channel memory support (DDR4/DDR5) give the build enough headroom for large codebases, while the GPU is largely idle during compile tasks, leaving headroom for integrated graphics if needed.

Student and office work: For daily productivity, the CPU’s single-thread Passmark score of 3,422 and R23 single-core of 2,639 are more than adequate for web browsers, office suites, and light multitasking. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 can handle basic display output, and the CPU’s 35 W TDP means low power draw during idle. This pairing is overkill for typical academic or office tasks, but the GPU would be fully unused in such scenarios.

Gaming Performance

As noted, there are no measured FPS figures for this specific CPU-GPU combination. The following are estimates derived from the benchmark scores.

At 4K resolution, the RTX 5090’s 32 GB GDDR7 memory and 512-bit bus (1.79 TB/s bandwidth) are the primary factors. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 18,355 and Passmark DirectX 12 score of 185 indicate high sustained performance. In most AAA titles, the GPU would likely deliver well over 60 FPS at ultra settings, with the CPU rarely being the limiting factor.

At 1440p, the CPU’s single-thread performance becomes more relevant. The i7-13700TE boosts to 4.80 GHz and scores 2,639 in Cinebench R23 single-core, which is about 0.1% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and 0.2% behind the Intel Core i7-12700F. That indicates the CPU can feed the GPU sufficiently in most games, though frame rates would vary by title. At 1080p, the CPU would likely be the limiting factor, especially in esports titles that favor single-core speed; the GPU could still produce high FPS, but the CPU’s lower base clock (1,100 MHz) and 35 W TDP might cause frame dips in CPU-bound scenes.

In all resolutions, the RTX 5090’s 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores would enable heavy ray tracing and DLSS workloads, but without measured FPS data, we cannot quantify the exact impact. The GPU’s pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s suggest very high fill-rate potential.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU’s average benchmark score is 31,028, placing it at the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, which scores 31,074, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the i7-13700TE is essentially identical in overall average. The Intel Core i7-12700F scores 31,081 (delta -0.2%), and the Intel Core 9 273PTE scores 31,143 (delta -0.4%). The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS scores 30,879, a delta of +0.5%, meaning the i7-13700TE is 0.5% higher. These close deltas indicate that the CPU is a mid-to-high-range desktop part, but not a top-tier enthusiast chip.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 79,842, placing it at the 92nd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605, delta +0.3%), the Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79,396, delta +0.6%), and the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, delta +1.1%). The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X scores 80,959, a delta of -1.4%, meaning the RTX 5090 is 1.4% lower. These comparisons show the GPU sits just above a group of high-end compute and laptop parts, but not at the absolute top of the benchmark database.

The combined percentile of 87 reflects a pairing where the GPU is stronger than the CPU. The CPU’s 82nd percentile is above average, but the GPU’s 92nd percentile is markedly higher, creating a performance gap that will manifest in CPU-bound workloads.

Balance and Bottleneck

The RTX 5090 is a high-end GPU, and the i7-13700TE is a mid-to-high CPU. The data suggests that the GPU will be the primary driver of performance in GPU-heavy workloads such as 4K gaming and rendering. The GPU’s 92nd percentile versus the CPU’s 82nd means that in a typical game, the GPU will be utilized at a higher percentage than the CPU. In 4K, the GPU will likely be the limiting factor because the 32 GB GDDR7 memory and high bandwidth are required to fill the frame. In 1080p or 1440p, the CPU’s lower single-thread performance (relative to the GPU) may cause the CPU to become the bottleneck.

The CPU’s 35 W TDP and base clock of 1,100 MHz are low, but its boost clock of 4.80 GHz is high. This indicates a wide dynamic range; the CPU can run at very low power for light tasks but still reach high clocks for short bursts. In sustained multi-threaded workloads, the CPU may not sustain its boost clock due to the low TDP, which could limit performance in long rendering sessions. The Passmark multithread score of 22,754 is lower than the average of its nearest rivals, suggesting that the CPU’s sustained multi-core performance is not as strong as its peak scores imply.

The GPU’s FP32 104.8 TFLOPS and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are enormous, but the CPU’s 20 PCIe Gen5 lanes (CPU only) and dual-channel memory support (DDR4/DDR5) are adequate but not exceptional. For a build that targets high-refresh gaming at 4K, the GPU is the correct primary component, and the CPU will not hold it back in most scenarios. For CPU-heavy tasks like data compression (Passmark 243,565) or encryption (15,006), the CPU is the limiting factor.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which is compatible with both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The memory bus is dual-channel, and the CPU does not support ECC memory. The platform offers 20 PCIe Gen5 lanes from the CPU, and the GPU uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface. The CPU’s TDP is 35 W, but the GPU’s TDP is 575 W, with a suggested PSU of 950 W. This means that the power supply must be capable of delivering a large amount of power to the GPU, while the CPU is relatively power-frugal.

The GPU uses a single 16-pin power connector and is a dual-slot card, measuring 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. It requires a PSU with a 950 W recommendation. The CPU’s low TDP allows for a smaller CPU cooler, but the GPU’s size and power requirements dominate the build.

A sensible next upgrade for this platform would be a more powerful CPU that fits Socket 1700, such as a higher-tier 13th Gen or 14th Gen Intel part, to better match the GPU’s 92nd percentile. However, the current CPU’s 82nd percentile is not a weak point in most workloads. The platform’s memory support for DDR5 could be leveraged by upgrading from DDR4 to DDR5, but the memory bus is dual-channel, so the benefit would be limited.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13700TE is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, codenamed Raptor Lake-S. It is built on a 10 nm process by Intel and has a die size of 257 mm². The CPU has a base clock of 1,100 MHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a TDP of 35 W. It features 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and includes integrated UHD Graphics 770.

The CPU’s benchmark scores show a strong single-thread capability (R23 single-core 2,639, Passmark single-thread 3,422) and a respectable multi-thread score (R23 multi 18,698, Passmark multithread 22,754). Its Passmark integer math score of 97,911 and floating-point math of 66,421 indicate that it can handle both integer-heavy and floating-point-heavy workloads, though the floating-point score is lower relative to its integer score. The data compression score of 243,565 is particularly high, suggesting that the CPU is well suited for tasks like file archiving and database operations.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the i7-13700TE is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and the Intel Core i7-12700F, with a delta of -0.1% and -0.2% respectively. This means that in average performance, these processors are indistinguishable. The CPU’s 82nd percentile is above the median, but not in the top tier. For a 35 W TDP part, the performance is impressive, but it is not a flagship desktop CPU.

Build Overview

This is a desktop build that pairs a 16-core, 24-thread Intel Raptor Lake CPU with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090, the flagship of the GeForce 50-series. The CPU’s 82nd percentile and the GPU’s 92nd percentile produce a combined percentile of 87. The build is clearly GPU-dominated, with the RTX 5090’s 32 GB GDDR7 memory, 1.79 TB/s bandwidth, and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance being the primary drivers. The CPU, despite its 16 cores, is a lower-power part (35 W TDP) that does not fully match the GPU’s performance tier.

The build class is desktop, and the market segment for the CPU is desktop, while the GPU is also a desktop part. The GPU’s dimensions (304 mm length) require a full tower or a large mid-tower case. The power supply recommendation of 950 W is a significant requirement. The combined performance suggests that this system is suitable for 4K gaming, 3D rendering, and compute-heavy tasks, but the CPU may be a limiting factor in CPU-bound scenarios.

Who Should Build It

This pairing is for users who prioritize GPU performance over CPU performance. Gamers targeting 4K or high-refresh 1440p will benefit from the RTX 5090’s massive memory and compute power. The CPU’s single-thread scores (R23 single 2,639, Passmark 3,422) are sufficient to avoid major frame dips in most titles at these resolutions, but at 1080p, the CPU might be the bottleneck in competitive games. The GPU’s 32 GB VRAM is also valuable for texture-heavy modding and large open-world titles.

Content creators, especially video editors and 3D renderers, will find the GPU’s OpenCL 334,370 and Vulkan 376,728 scores to be excellent for GPU-accelerated workflows. The CPU’s multi-thread score of 18,698 (R23) is decent for video encoding, though not class-leading. The 16-core/24-thread configuration can handle multi-threaded tasks like rendering and encoding simultaneously.

Software developers working on parallel code or running virtual machines will appreciate the CPU’s 24 threads and the 30 MB L3 cache. The GPU’s tensor cores (680) could be used for machine learning inference, though the CPU’s Passmark encryption score of 15,006 is moderate.

Students and office workers do not need this level of performance; the CPU’s integrated UHD 730 could handle basic tasks, and the GPU would be idle. However, for a small business workstation that needs to handle occasional 3D rendering or CAD, the GPU provides headroom. The build is not cost-effective for office work, but that is not its purpose.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is based on the GB202 chip, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC, with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. It has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. The core clocks are a base of 2017 MHz and a boost of 2407 MHz, with memory at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). It has 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, 176 ROPs, 170 RT cores, and 680 tensor cores. The pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 1,636.8 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 104.8 TFLOPS, and FP16 is also 104.8 TFLOPS (1:1). The TDP is 575 W, with a suggested PSU of 950 W, and it uses a single 16-pin power connector.

The GPU’s benchmark scores are high. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 18,355 is a strong indicator of DX12 gaming performance. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 334,370 and Vulkan score of 376,728 show robust compute capabilities. The PassMark G3D score of 39,650 is above the average of its nearest rivals. Its PassMark DirectX 12 score of 185 is notable, but the DirectX 9 and 11 scores are 395 and 341, respectively, showing that the GPU is not optimized for legacy APIs.

The RTX 5090’s 92nd percentile places it among the top GPUs, but it is not the absolute highest. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB, has an average score of 79,605, which is 0.3% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT is 1.1% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X is 1.4% higher. This suggests that the RTX 5090 is in the same league as high-end data-center GPUs, but it is a consumer card with 32 GB of VRAM.

The GPU’s FP32 and FP16 performance are identical, which is unusual for a consumer card, and the 680 tensor cores support AI acceleration. The 1.79 TB/s bandwidth is critical for 4K and 8K textures. The 32 GB GDDR7 memory is a large capacity, useful for large AI models and video editing timelines. The GPU’s physical dimensions (304 mm length) require a large case, and its 575 W TDP requires a robust power supply.
