# Intel Core i7-13800H + Intel Arc A570M: Mobile Workhorse with a Graphics Surprise

The Intel Core i7-13800H paired with the Intel Arc A570M represents a mobile computing package that combines a high-end 14-core processor with a dedicated graphics solution that punches well above its power class. This is a laptop configuration (build class: laptop) that sits in the 86th combined percentile of all CPU+GPU pairings, meaning it outperforms roughly 86% of systems in the benchmark database. The CPU is an active production part from Intel's Raptor Lake-H family, released in early January 2023 with a launch MSRP of $457, while the GPU is a mobile Alchemist-generation Arc part released in late July 2023. The data shows a system designed for users who need serious multi-threaded compute capability and solid graphics acceleration in a portable form factor, though the measured FPS data is absent for this exact combination—all gaming performance figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13800H is a 14-core, 20-thread processor built on Intel's Raptor Lake architecture (codename Raptor Lake-H) and manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process node with a die size of 257 mm². It features a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, which is a substantial clock range that allows the chip to scale from efficient low-load operation to high-performance bursts when needed. The CPU has a 45 W TDP, indicating it is designed for mobile platforms where thermal and power constraints are significant. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache, which provides a generous amount of fast memory for frequently accessed data. The processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and it connects via PCIe Gen 5 with 8 lanes from the CPU alone. Integrated graphics are provided by Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, which can handle basic display output and light graphical tasks without the discrete GPU.

Benchmark results paint a picture of a very capable mobile processor. In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 18,358 points in multi-core and 2,591 in single-core. The multi-core score is particularly telling—it indicates that the 14-core configuration can sustain heavy all-core workloads like video rendering or code compilation without significant throttling. The single-core score of 2,591 is strong for a mobile chip and reflects the high 5.20 GHz boost clock, which benefits applications that rely on single-threaded performance like many older games or spreadsheet calculations. In Cinebench R20, the scores are 7,710 multi-core and 1,088 single-core, while Cinebench R15 shows 1,850 multi-core and 261 single-core. PassMark results further detail the chip's strengths: multi-thread performance scores 26,545, single-thread scores 3,543, integer math scores 92,589, floating-point math scores 66,579, and extended instructions score 18,011. Data compression scores 299,179, data encryption scores 17,726, and physics scores 1,924. These numbers indicate a processor that excels at parallel compute tasks—the integer and floating-point math scores are particularly high for a mobile part, suggesting strong performance in scientific computing and financial modeling. The average benchmark score for this CPU is 34,988, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The nearest rivals provide context for its positioning. The Intel Core i9-12900HX scores 35,003 on average, a delta of 0%—meaning the i7-13800H is essentially identical in performance to that higher-tier previous-generation chip. The Intel Core 7 253PTE scores 34,962 (0.1% faster), the Intel Xeon 6349P scores 34,890 (0.3% faster), and the Intel Core i5-14500HX scores 35,094 (0.3% slower). This places the i7-13800H in a sweet spot: it matches the performance of an i9-class chip from the prior generation while being a mainstream i7 part in its own generation.

Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this exact CPU+GPU combination, so all gaming performance figures presented here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores rather than direct measurements. The GPU's Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,239 and its 88th percentile position among all GPUs suggest that the Arc A570M is a capable 1080p gaming solution, but without measured frame rates, the precise performance at any resolution or quality setting cannot be stated with certainty. The CPU's strong single-thread score of 3,543 in PassMark indicates it can feed the GPU adequately in most gaming scenarios, while the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 224.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for modern game textures at 1080p and likely playable at 1440p with settings adjustments. The presence of 16 ray-tracing cores means hardware-accelerated ray tracing is available, though the 5.325 TFLOPS FP32 compute rate suggests that ray-traced workloads will be more demanding on this GPU than on higher-tier desktop parts. For competitive titles like esports shooters, the combination of a fast single-threaded CPU and dedicated GPU should deliver high frame rates at 1080p, likely exceeding 100 FPS in less demanding games, but again, these are estimates based on the overall performance profile rather than measured results.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's average benchmark score is 34,988, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs tested. This is a strong showing for a mobile processor, indicating it outperforms the vast majority of CPUs in the database. The GPU's average benchmark score is 58,239 in Geekbench OpenCL, placing it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs. The combined percentile for this CPU+GPU pairing is 86th, which reflects the fact that both components are individually strong and work well together as a system. The GPU's nearest rivals are revealing: the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT scores 58,392 (0.3% faster), the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58,085 (0.3% slower), the NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58,528 (0.5% faster), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58,657 (0.7% faster). This is a remarkable result for a mobile GPU with a 75 W TDP—it matches or nearly matches desktop graphics cards that consume significantly more power and occupy full-size slots. The Arc A570M is essentially tied with the RX 6950 XT in OpenCL compute performance, which suggests that its compute capabilities are far beyond what its power envelope would typically imply. However, OpenCL is a compute benchmark, not a gaming benchmark, so real-world gaming performance may differ from what this score suggests.

The combined picture shows a system that is well-balanced between CPU and GPU compute capabilities. Both components sit in the mid-80s percentiles, meaning neither is a clear bottleneck for the other in most workloads. The CPU's multi-threaded performance is sufficient to feed the GPU's compute capabilities, and the GPU's compute performance is high enough to accelerate workloads that the CPU would otherwise handle alone. This makes the pairing suitable for a wide range of applications, from gaming to content creation to scientific computing.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data indicates a well-balanced system with no single dominant bottleneck. The CPU sits in the 84th percentile while the GPU sits in the 88th percentile, a difference of just 4 percentage points that suggests neither component dramatically outclasses the other. In CPU-bound workloads like data compression (scoring 299,179 in PassMark), the processor will be the limiting factor, and the GPU will have headroom. In GPU-bound workloads like OpenCL compute (scoring 58,239), the graphics card will be the constraint, and the CPU will have spare capacity. For gaming, the balance is more nuanced. The CPU's single-thread score of 3,543 in PassMark is strong enough to drive high frame rates in most titles, but the GPU's 5.325 TFLOPS FP32 compute rate will be the limiting factor at higher resolutions or with demanding graphical settings. At 1080p, the CPU is likely to be the bottleneck in less demanding games where frame rates exceed what the GPU can render, while at 1440p or with ray tracing enabled, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. The FPS scaling between these scenarios would follow the typical pattern: CPU-bound at low resolutions, GPU-bound at high resolutions, with the crossover point depending on the specific game and settings. The GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1080p gaming but may become constraints in VRAM-heavy titles at higher resolutions.
