Intel Core i7-13790F paired with the Intel Arc A380 is a desktop combination that presents a stark contrast in capability. The processor is a high-end 16-core Raptor Lake part with a 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the graphics card is an entry-level Alchemist part sitting at the 44th percentile. The data shows a system where the CPU is the dominant component by a wide margin, making this pairing suitable for compute-heavy tasks, light gaming, and professional workloads that rely more on the processor than the GPU.

GPU Analysis — VRAM, bandwidth, clocks, RT/tensor hardware, what the benchmark scores mean for rendering

The Intel Arc A380 is built on the Xe-HPG architecture using the DG2-128 chip, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It features 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output pipelines. The card operates at a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2050 MHz, with memory clocked at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective). The memory subsystem consists of 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 186.0 GB/s. This is a modest configuration by modern standards, and the pixel rate of 65.60 GPixel/s with a texture rate of 131.2 GTexel/s reinforces its position as an entry-level part.

The A380 includes 8 ray tracing cores, though its raw compute performance is limited. The FP32 throughput is 4.198 TFLOPS, and FP16 is 8.397 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio). The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, meaning it has the API feature set for modern games, but the execution resources are constrained. In benchmark terms, the A380 scores 808 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, which is a low result relative to any current gaming card. Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores are 38224 and 36736 respectively, indicating reasonable compute performance for its class but nowhere near high-end discrete GPUs. The Passmark G3D score is 6252, placing it at the 44th percentile of all GPUs.

For rendering, the A380 is not a serious contender for heavy 3D workloads. The 4.198 TFLOPS FP32 figure is low, and the 8 ray tracing cores provide only basic RT capability. The 6 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p textures but will limit high-resolution assets. The Passmark GPU Compute score of 2762 reflects this limitation, showing that the card can handle light compute offload but will struggle with sustained rendering tasks. The card's nearest rivals include the AMD FirePro W5170M (avg score 8595, -0.4% delta), AMD Radeon HD 8870M (avg score 8462, +1.1% delta), and NVIDIA GeForce MX330 (avg score 8458, +1.2% delta). The A380's average benchmark score of 8558 is essentially on par with these older or lower-tier mobile parts, which contextualizes its performance level as closer to integrated graphics than to a dedicated gaming GPU.

Benchmark Performance — exact CPU and GPU scores, percentile positions, and what the combined picture is

The CPU benchmarks are exceptionally strong. In Cinebench R23, the Core i7-13790F scores 35404 in multi-core and 4998 in single-core. Cinebench R20 shows 14869 multi-core and 2099 single-core, while R15 shows 3568 multi-core and 503 single-core. These numbers place the processor at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 63080. The nearest rivals are all recent high-end mobile or embedded parts: Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX (avg score 63173, delta -0.1%), AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 (avg score 62839, delta +0.4%), AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G (avg score 63331, delta -0.4%), and Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX (avg score 62738, delta +0.5%). The i7-13790F is within 0.5% of these parts, indicating it trades blows with the latest generation of high-core-count CPUs.

The GPU benchmarks are far weaker. The A380's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 808 is a low bar. Passmark DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 scores are 38 and 35 respectively, which are extremely low and suggest the card performs poorly in modern DX11/DX12 titles. The Passmark G3D score of 6252 and the 44th percentile ranking confirm this. The combined percentile for this pair is 69, which is dragged down by the GPU. The combined picture is a system with massive CPU headroom and GPU bottleneck in any graphics-intensive application. For pure CPU workloads, this is a top-tier performer; for gaming at anything above low settings, the GPU will be the limiting factor.

CPU Analysis — cores, clocks, architecture, what the benchmark scores mean for real workloads

The Intel Core i7-13790F is a Raptor Lake-S desktop processor with 16 cores and 24 threads, based on the 10 nm Intel process node. The base clock is 2.10 GHz, and the boost clock reaches 5.20 GHz. It has a 33 MB shared L3 cache, 2 MB L2 per core, and 80 KB L1 per core. The chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, and it provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The TDP is 65 W, and it is not multiplier unlocked, meaning it is a locked part. The launch MSRP is $441.

The benchmark scores indicate a processor that excels in both single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404 is excellent, placing it in the top tier for desktop CPUs. The single-core score of 4998 is also strong, reflecting the high boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Passmark tests reinforce this: multithread score is 44737, single-thread is 4212, and integer math is 151416. Floating-point math scores 110512, and data compression is 567473. These numbers suggest the CPU handles heavy computational workloads—video encoding, 3D rendering, software compilation—with ease.

The 16 cores / 24 threads configuration is a hybrid design typical of Raptor Lake, combining performance and efficiency cores. The 33 MB L3 cache is generous and helps with data-heavy workloads. The processor's 93rd percentile ranking means it outperforms 93% of all CPUs in the database. In real workloads, this translates to near-instant responsiveness in productivity applications, fast compile times for developers, and smooth performance in multi-threaded rendering. The nearest rival comparisons show it is essentially tied with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX and AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G, which are newer parts, indicating the i7-13790F remains competitive. For users who need a workstation CPU that can handle parallel tasks without breaking a sweat, this is a strong choice.

Balance and Bottleneck — which component limits which workload, using percentiles and FPS scaling as evidence

The balance between the Core i7-13790F and Arc A380 is heavily skewed toward the CPU. The CPU's 93rd percentile versus the GPU's 44th percentile creates a massive bottleneck in graphics-limited scenarios. In gaming, the GPU will limit frame rates far below what the CPU is capable of supporting. The A380's Passmark DirectX 11 and 12 scores of 38 and 35 are drastically low, indicating that even at 1080p with low settings, the GPU will struggle to maintain high frame rates. The CPU could easily drive 200+ FPS in many titles, but the A380 will cap performance at a fraction of that.

In CPU-bound workloads—like video encoding, 3D rendering, or data processing—the GPU is irrelevant, and the system performs at the CPU's high level. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404 and Passmark multithread score of 44737 are the key metrics here. Conversely, in GPU-bound tasks like gaming or GPU-accelerated rendering, the A380 becomes the sole limiter. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 808 and the GPU's 44th percentile ranking confirm that the card is entry-level. The combined percentile of 69 reflects this imbalance: the system is above average overall, but only because the CPU carries the weight.

The data shows no FPS scaling evidence since no measured FPS rows exist for this combination. However, based on the GPU's benchmarks, one can infer that frame rates in modern games would be low. The A380's nearest rivals include mobile and older GPUs, which are not known for high FPS. For any workload that requires both CPU and GPU, the GPU will bottleneck. The practical conclusion is that this pairing is only sensible if the user prioritizes CPU performance and accepts minimal graphics capability.

Who Should Build It — target users and industries (gamers at specific resolutions, content creators, developers, students, small business workstations) tied strictly to the measured performance

This system is for users who need extreme CPU throughput and only casual graphics. Gamers at 1080p with low settings or esports titles might find the A380 usable, but the GPU's 44th percentile and low DirectX scores suggest frame rates will be modest. The CPU's 93rd percentile means it will never be the bottleneck, so users can upgrade the GPU later without touching the processor.

Content creators who work in video editing or 3D rendering will benefit from the CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404, which indicates fast export and render times. The A380 can accelerate some effects via its 1024 shading units, but it is not a primary rendering tool. Software developers will appreciate the Passmark integer math score of 151416 and data compression score of 567473, which speed up compilation and data processing. Students and small business workstations that run office applications, spreadsheets, and web development tools will find the CPU overkill but smooth, with the GPU handling basic display output.

The 65 W TDP of the CPU and 75 W TDP of the GPU mean this system is power-efficient for a desktop. It is suitable for environments where quiet operation is desired. The i7-13790F's launch MSRP of $441 is a data point, but the value discussion is outside the scope of these specifications. The target user is someone who builds a workstation with a clear upgrade path for the GPU, relying on the CPU's massive headroom for daily tasks.

Upgrade Path and Platform — socket, memory support, PCIe, PSU headroom from suggestedPsu/tdp, what a sensible next upgrade looks like

The Core i7-13790F uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode. This flexibility allows builders to choose cheaper DDR4 or faster DDR5. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes, which future-proofs storage and GPU connectivity. The Arc A380 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, which is compatible but does not utilize the full CPU bandwidth.

The suggested PSU for the A380 is 250 W, and the GPU's TDP is 75 W. The CPU's TDP is 65 W, so the total system draw is modest. This leaves significant PSU headroom for a future GPU upgrade. A sensible next upgrade would be replacing the A380 with a higher-performing graphics card that can match the CPU's capabilities. The CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads can support any modern GPU without bottlenecking. The platform supports up to 20 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, so a newer GPU with PCIe Gen 5 support would be fully utilized.

The production status of the GPU is end-of-life, with a successor named Battlemage, so upgrading the GPU is a natural step. The CPU is still active in production, so it remains a viable platform. Memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 means the builder can upgrade memory without changing the motherboard. The 33 MB L3 cache and 5.20 GHz boost clock ensure the CPU remains relevant for years. The upgrade path is straightforward: focus on the GPU first, then consider memory capacity if needed.

Usage Scenarios — grounded in the scores: high-refresh gaming, streaming, video editing, 3D rendering, software development, student and office work. One short paragraph per scenario, citing the numbers that support the verdict

High-refresh gaming: The CPU can handle high-refresh gaming, but the A380 cannot. The GPU's Passmark DirectX 12 score of 35 and 44th percentile ranking indicate it will struggle to exceed 60 FPS in most modern titles at 1080p. For esports titles with low requirements, the CPU's single-core score of 4998 in Cinebench R23 ensures high FPS, but the GPU will cap it.

Streaming: The CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads, with a Passmark multithread score of 44737, can handle software encoding while gaming. The A380's 8 ray tracing cores and 1024 shading units are not sufficient for hardware encoding acceleration, so x264 encoding on the CPU is viable. The system can stream at 1080p, but the game's FPS will be limited by the GPU.

Video editing: The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404 makes this an excellent video editing CPU. Export times will be short, and the 33 MB L3 cache helps with timeline scrubbing. The A380 can assist with some GPU-accelerated effects, but its 6 GB VRAM and 186.0 GB/s bandwidth limit heavy effects work. For 1080p editing, this is a capable system.

3D rendering: The CPU's 35404 multi-core score in Cinebench R23 is ideal for CPU-based rendering engines. The A380's 4.198 TFLOPS FP32 is insufficient for GPU rendering, so users should rely on CPU rendering. The 16 cores will handle complex scenes, but the GPU will not accelerate final frame render.

Software development: The Passmark integer math score of 151416 and data compression score of 567473 indicate fast compilation and data processing. The 24 threads allow parallel builds, and the 5.20 GHz boost clock speeds up single-threaded tasks. The GPU is irrelevant for most development tasks, making this a strong choice.

Student and office work: The CPU is overkill for office tasks, but the 4212 Passmark single-thread score ensures snappy application response. The A380 handles basic display output and 4K video playback with its 6 GB VRAM. Power draw is low (65 W CPU, 75 W GPU), making it quiet and efficient for a study or office environment.

Gaming Performance — measured FPS by game and resolution from measuredFpsUltraByGame (or, if dataIsMeasured is false, frame expectations qualitatively from the benchmark scores and say the figures are estimates)

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination of Intel Core i7-13790F and Intel Arc A380. The FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data, so all frame rate figures discussed here are estimates based on the benchmark scores of both components. The CPU's 93rd percentile and the GPU's 44th percentile provide a clear picture: the GPU is the limiting factor in gaming.

Based on the GPU's Passmark DirectX 11 and 12 scores of 38 and 35, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 808, frame rates in modern titles at 1080p ultra settings would be low. The A380's 44th percentile ranking places it near the NVIDIA GeForce MX330, which is not a gaming card. At 1080p with low settings, the GPU might achieve playable frame rates in less demanding games, but the CPU's 5.20 GHz boost clock and 4998 Cinebench R23 single-core score will not be the bottleneck. The 6 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p, but the 186.0 GB/s bandwidth and 1024 shading units limit fill rate.

For esports titles like CS or League of Legends, the CPU could push high FPS, but the GPU's 65.60 GPixel/s pixel rate and 131.2 GTexel/s texture rate would cap performance. At 1440p or 4K, the A380 would be severely overwhelmed, with frame rates dropping to unplayable levels. The data indicates this is not a gaming system; it is a CPU-centric workstation with basic graphics. Users seeking gaming performance should consider a different GPU, as the CPU has ample headroom to support a far more powerful card. All FPS figures mentioned here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores and should not be taken as measured results.
