# CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13790F is a 16-core, 24-thread desktop processor built on Intel's Raptor Lake architecture and fabricated on a 10 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, making it a high-frequency part that can handle both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded workloads with agility. The chip carries a 65W TDP, a conservative figure for a processor with this core count, and it is not multiplier-unlocked, meaning overclocking headroom is limited by design. The cache hierarchy is substantial: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache, which is a generous pool for a 13th-generation part.

Benchmark results place this CPU in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 63,080. Its nearest rivals in the aggregate are the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX (average score 63,173, a -0.1% delta), the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 (62,839, +0.4% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G (63,331, -0.4% delta). These deltas are all under one percent, indicating that the i7-13790F sits in a tightly contested performance band where no single competitor holds a decisive aggregate advantage. In single-threaded workloads, the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,998 and the Passmark single-thread score of 4,212 demonstrate that the 5.20 GHz boost clock translates into strong responsiveness for applications that rely on one or two cores, such as legacy software, certain database queries, and UI-heavy applications.

Multi-threaded performance is where this processor shows its muscle. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,404 and Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 14,869 indicate that the 16 cores and 24 threads scale effectively under sustained load. Passmark multi-thread results (44,737) and integer math (151,416) further corroborate that this chip can chew through parallel tasks, while floating-point math (110,512) and extended instruction set performance (34,828) suggest it handles scientific and multimedia computations with ease. The data compression score of 567,473 and data encryption score of 31,703 point to strong throughput in archival and security-related tasks. It is worth remembering the processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory across a dual-channel bus, and it provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU, which is essential for feeding modern GPUs and NVMe storage.

# Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for the exact combination of the Intel Core i7-13790F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. This means that all frame rate figures in this section are estimates derived from the respective CPU and GPU benchmark scores, not direct measurements. The data explicitly indicates that `dataIsMeasured` is false, so readers should treat any FPS numbers as projections based on component capabilities.

Given the CPU's single-thread performance — a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,998 and a Passmark single-thread score of 4,212 — the i7-13790F is well-positioned to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 4080 SUPER in most gaming scenarios. The GPU itself delivers a Passmark G3D score of 34,245 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,600, placing it in the 86th percentile among all GPUs. In titles that are GPU-bound at high resolutions, such as 4K or ultra-wide 1440p, the RTX 4080 SUPER's raw rasterization and ray tracing capabilities would likely drive frame rates well above 60 FPS in most modern games, with the CPU rarely impeding that throughput.

At 1080p with ultra settings, where CPU overhead is more pronounced, the i7-13790F's high boost clock and strong single-core scores suggest that it can sustain high frame rates, likely in the 144 FPS range for esports and competitive titles, and comfortably above 100 FPS for demanding AAA games. The 16 cores and 24 threads also ensure that background tasks, such as voice chat or streaming software, do not introduce stutter. For 1440p and 4K gaming, the RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth would be the primary drivers of performance, with the CPU staying well ahead of the GPU's needs. The estimated frame rates are, however, just that — estimates. The absence of measured data for this specific pairing means that real-world results could vary based on game optimization, driver maturity, and system memory configuration.

# Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The combination of the i7-13790F's strong single-core performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,998) and the RTX 4080 SUPER's high rasterization throughput (Passmark G3D score of 34,245) makes this system well-suited for 144Hz or higher monitors at 1440p resolution. The GPU's 16 GB memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for high-texture settings, while the CPU's 5.20 GHz boost clock ensures that frame pacing remains consistent even in CPU-intensive scenes.

Streaming: With 16 cores and 24 threads, the i7-13790F can handle game capture, encoding, and broadcasting simultaneously without significant performance degradation. The Passmark multi-thread score of 44,737 indicates that there is enough parallel headroom to dedicate a few threads to encoding tasks while the rest focus on the game. The RTX 4080 SUPER's tensor cores (320) also offer hardware-accelerated encoding and AI-based enhancements, which would offload additional work from the CPU.

Video editing: The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,404 and Passmark floating-point math score of 110,512 suggest that timeline scrubbing, effect rendering, and export tasks will be efficient. The GPU's 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 80 RT cores provide substantial acceleration for GPU-accelerated effects, color grading, and rendering in applications like DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Pro. The 16 GB of VRAM is also beneficial for handling high-resolution footage.

3D rendering: For CPU-based rendering, the i7-13790F's 16 cores deliver a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 14,869, which is competitive for its class. For GPU-based rendering, the RTX 4080 SUPER's 10,240 shading units and 320 tensor cores offer massive parallel throughput, as evidenced by the Geekbench OpenCL score of 219,065. This makes the system capable of handling both CPU and GPU render engines effectively.

Software development: The high single-thread score (Passmark single-thread of 4,212) accelerates compilation of single-threaded build steps, while the multi-thread score (44,737) helps with parallel builds. The 24 threads are well-suited for running multiple VMs, containers, or test suites concurrently. The support for up to 33 MB of L3 cache reduces latency for frequently accessed code paths.

Student and office work: The 65W TDP and passive cooling potential make this an efficient choice for daily productivity tasks. The Passmark data encryption score of 31,703 and data compression score of 567,473 indicate that file archiving, disk encryption, and spreadsheet calculations are handled swiftly. For typical office workloads that are not heavily threaded, the 5.20 GHz boost clock ensures snappy application launches and smooth multitasking.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The benchmark data suggests a well-balanced pairing where the bottleneck shifts depending on the workload. In gaming, particularly at lower resolutions like 1080p, the CPU's single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,998) is sufficient to keep up with the RTX 4080 SUPER's frame output, but the GPU is likely the limiting factor at higher resolutions where pixel throughput matters more. The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 34,245 versus the CPU's Passmark multi-thread score of 44,737 indicates that in compute-heavy tasks, the CPU can actually outpace the GPU in terms of raw integer operations, but for graphics-specific workloads, the GPU dominates.

Evidence from the FPS scaling is not available due to missing measured data, but the percentile positions provide indirect evidence. The CPU sits at the 93rd percentile, while the GPU sits at the 86th percentile, suggesting that the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU within their respective markets. This means that in gaming, the RTX 4080 SUPER is more likely to be the limiting factor, which is generally desirable because it means the system is GPU-bound and thus less prone to stutter. In productivity tasks that are heavily multi-threaded, the CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads (Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,404) will be the primary driver, with the GPU providing acceleration only in specific workflows like rendering or machine learning. The 33 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel memory support help reduce memory bottlenecks, but the lack of ECC memory support means this is not a workstation for mission-critical data integrity.

# GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with a transistor count of 45,900 million on a 379 mm² die. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for high-resolution textures and large datasets. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2,295 MHz with a boost clock of 2,550 MHz, and memory runs at 1,438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). The memory subsystem is a key strength, providing ample bandwidth for 4K gaming and GPU-accelerated compute.

The GPU contains 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output units, along with 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. This hardware configuration yields a pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 52.22 TFLOPS, and FP16 performance matches at 52.22 TFLOPS (1:1), indicating strong compute throughput for AI and scientific workloads. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 219,065 and Vulkan score of 260,075 reflect strong general-purpose compute capabilities, while the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,600 shows solid DirectX 12 performance.

The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 34,245 places it in the 86th percentile, with nearest rivals being the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (average score 54,247, a -0.1% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54,828, -1.1% delta), and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55,698, -2.7% delta). The delta percentages are all negative relative to the rivals, meaning the RTX 4080 SUPER is slightly behind these competitors in aggregate benchmark scores, despite having a higher absolute percentile than some. This is because the nearest rivals are clustered within a narrow band, and the differences are within measurement noise. The GPU has a TDP of 320W, requires a 700W suggested PSU, and uses a single 16-pin power connector. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, making it compatible with modern APIs. The production status is end-of-life, with the GeForce 50 series as its successor, but it remains a relevant high-end part.

The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the processor, allowing for high-bandwidth connectivity to the GPU and NVMe storage. The memory bus is dual-channel, and while the FACT PACK does not specify a maximum memory bandwidth, the support for both DDR4 and DDR5 gives builders flexibility in terms of cost and performance. The CPU's 65W TDP is modest, which means that cooling requirements are manageable, and the lack of an unlocked multiplier (multiplierUnlocked is false) means that overclocking is not a primary upgrade path.

For the GPU, the RTX 4080 SUPER uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface, which is fully compatible with the CPU's PCIe Gen 5 lanes (the GPU will run at PCIe 4.0 speeds). The GPU requires a 700W suggested PSU and a single 16-pin power connector, and it occupies a triple-slot form factor with dimensions of 310 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width. The production status is end-of-life, with the GeForce 50 series as its successor, so a future upgrade would involve moving to a newer GPU generation. For the CPU, the socket 1700 platform is likely at the end of its lifecycle, so a sensible next upgrade would be a newer platform with a different socket, though the i7-13790F's 93rd percentile performance means it remains competitive for several years. The 33 MB of L3 cache and 16 cores provide enough headroom for future software demands, but users seeking more threads would need to look at higher-core-count parts on a new platform.
