CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13790F sits in the upper tier of desktop processors, holding a 93rd percentile position among all CPUs in the benchmark database. This 16-core, 24-thread part is built on the Raptor Lake architecture using Intel's 10 nm process node, with a die size of 257 mm². The base clock runs at 2.10 GHz, and the boost clock reaches 5.20 GHz, giving the chip substantial headroom for burst workloads. The 33 MB shared L3 cache, combined with 2 MB per-core L2 and 80 KB per-core L1, provides a deep hierarchy that favors workloads with large working sets.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 63080 places it remarkably close to its nearest rivals. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX scores 63173, a mere 0.1% advantage, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G posts 63331, just 0.4% higher. Conversely, the i7-13790F leads the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 by 0.4% and the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX by 0.5%. These sub-one-percent deltas indicate that the 13790F is performance-equivalent to a broad swath of modern high-end laptop and embedded processors, despite being a desktop part with a 65 W TDP.

Multi-threaded rendering scores tell a clear story. In Cinebench R23, the chip scores 35404 points multi-core and 4998 points single-core. The R20 run yields 14869 multi-core and 2099 single-core, while R15 shows 3568 and 503 respectively. These numbers place the 13790F firmly in the field of capable content-creation CPUs. PassMark results reinforce this: a multi-thread score of 44737, single-thread of 4212, and a floating-point math score of 110512. Integer math reaches 151416, while data compression hits 567473 and data encryption 31703. The extended instructions score of 34828 and find-prime-numbers score of 207 round out the compute picture.

For real workloads, the combination of 16 cores and 24 threads handles parallel compilation, video encoding, and 3D scene rendering with ease. The 5.20 GHz boost clock ensures snappy single-threaded response in lightly threaded applications like legacy software or spreadsheet macros. The 65 W TDP is notable for a 16-core desktop part, suggesting the chip maintains efficiency while delivering flagship-class throughput. The 93rd percentile ranking means that in a room of 100 random CPUs, this part outperforms roughly 93 of them in aggregate benchmark terms. Its nearest rivals all sit within a 0.5% band, which means the 13790F is not an outlier in either direction — it is a well-balanced processor that trades blows with the latest mobile flagship silicon.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core i7-13790F uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus. ECC memory is not supported, so error-correcting workloads will need to look elsewhere. The CPU provides 20 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the processor itself, enabling fast connectivity for modern GPUs and NVMe storage. The chip is not multiplier-unlocked, meaning overclocking headroom is limited to bus adjustments rather than direct clock manipulation. Its production status is Active, and it was released on 2023-02-09.

The launch MSRP is $441. The platform's dual memory support gives builders flexibility: DDR4 allows for a lower-cost build using existing modules, while DDR5 offers higher bandwidth for memory-sensitive tasks. The memory bus is dual-channel, which is standard for desktop parts of this class. PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU means a primary graphics card can run at full x16 bandwidth while leaving additional lanes for storage or other devices, though the GPU in this build uses PCIe 4.0 x16.

The GPU's suggested PSU is 600 W, with a TDP of 260 W. The CPU's TDP is 65 W. Combined, the system's total draw is well within the recommended power supply headroom, leaving ample margin for drives, fans, and peripheral cards. The GPU uses two 8-pin power connectors, which are standard on most quality power supplies. The power draw of the CPU is modest, so a capable air cooler or a basic liquid cooler will suffice without requiring exotic cooling solutions.

A sensible next upgrade path on this platform would involve swapping the CPU for a higher-core-count Raptor Lake part within the same socket, assuming the motherboard BIOS supports it. The socket supports DDR4 and DDR5, so memory upgrades depend on the motherboard's slot configuration. For the GPU, the PCIe 4.0 x16 interface is compatible with any modern graphics card, and the 600 W suggested PSU provides enough headroom for a mid-range upgrade. The platform is mature, with production status Active, so parts availability remains a non-issue.

Benchmark Performance

The combined percentile for this CPU and GPU pairing is 85th, indicating that the system as a whole outperforms 85% of all tracked desktop configurations. The CPU's individual percentile is 93, while the GPU sits at 77. This spread suggests the GPU is the limiting factor in overall system ranking, a point that will be explored in the bottleneck section.

Looking at the CPU benchmarks in aggregate, the average score of 63080 places it in a dead heat with its four nearest rivals. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX is 0.1% faster, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G is 0.4% faster, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 is 0.4% slower and the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX is 0.5% slower. In practical terms, these differences are within run-to-run variance. The 13790F's multi-thread strength is evident in the Cinebench R23 score of 35404, which is roughly seven times its single-core score of 4998, indicating excellent scaling across the 16 cores.

The GPU benchmarks show a different pattern. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 4814, which is a modern rasterization test. Geekbench OpenCL scores 175758, while Vulkan scores 99850. PassMark results show a G3D score of 27089, with a GPU compute score of 15016. The DirectX 11 score of 300 is notably higher than DirectX 12's 107, and DirectX 9 scores 310 while DirectX 10 scores 139. The G2D score of 1180 reflects 2D graphics throughput. The GPU's average benchmark score is 32456, and its nearest rivals are all AMD workstation or older gaming parts: the AMD FirePro S10000 is 0.2% faster, the FirePro S9300 X2 is 0.3% faster, the Radeon RX 590 GME is 0.4% faster, and the Radeon Pro 570X is 0.9% slower. These deltas are again minimal, but they place the RX 7900 GRE in a strange neighborhood — its percentile of 77 is respectable but not elite.

The combined picture is a CPU that punches near the top of the charts and a GPU that sits in the upper-mid range. The CPU's 93rd percentile dominates the system's overall 85th percentile ranking, meaning the processor is doing most of the heavy lifting in terms of relative performance.

Balance and Bottleneck

The percentile gap between CPU (93rd) and GPU (77th) is the first indicator of imbalance. In CPU-bound workloads, the 13790F will rarely be the constraint; its multi-thread scores are within 0.5% of the fastest rivals in its class. In GPU-bound workloads, however, the RX 7900 GRE's 77th percentile means that the graphics card will limit frame rates in graphically intensive scenarios.

The FPS scaling evidence is absent from the measured data — no measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination. However, the benchmark scores provide a reliable proxy. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4814 is a modern benchmark that scales with raw rasterization power. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404 suggests that the processor can feed the GPU without stalling in most scenarios. The bottleneck will appear in high-resolution gaming or ray-traced workloads where the GPU's 77th percentile becomes the limiting factor.

For productivity tasks like video editing, the CPU's 93rd percentile and the GPU's compute score of 15016 in PassMark create a balanced system. The CPU handles encoding and decoding streams, while the GPU accelerates effects and color grading. In 3D rendering, the CPU's multi-thread might dominate for CPU-based renderers, while GPU-based renderers will rely on the GPU's 45.98 TFLOPS FP32 performance. The bottleneck shifts with the workload — that is the nature of this pairing.

Geekbench OpenCL at 175758 shows strong compute throughput, while Vulkan at 99850 indicates solid driver overhead management. The PassMark G3D score of 27089 confirms the GPU's position as a solid 1440p and entry-level 4K performer.

The memory subsystem is a strong point: 16 GB of VRAM is generous for modern titles, and 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth prevents starvation at high resolutions. The 256-bit bus is narrower than some flagship parts, but the high clock speed compensates. The 80 RT cores provide hardware ray tracing, though the 77th percentile suggests that RT performance is not class-leading. The GPU has a TDP of 260 W, requires a 600 W suggested PSU, and uses two 8-pin connectors. It is a dual-slot card measuring 276 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 51 mm in width.
