The CPU is a high-end mobile powerhouse, while the GPU is an entry-level integrated solution. Benchmark data indicates the processor operates in the 90th percentile among all CPUs, whereas the graphics solution sits in the 35th percentile among all GPUs. Consequently, this pairing is unequivocally CPU-dominant; the i7-13850HX provides exceptional computational and multi-threaded performance, but the Radeon 760M severely constrains any graphics-intensive application, including gaming and 3D rendering. The data shows a system built for productivity, heavy multitasking, and CPU-centric professional workloads, not for high-fidelity interactive entertainment.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13850HX is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process node. It features a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, with a thermal design power (TDP) of 55 W. The processor includes a substantial cache hierarchy: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache. This configuration is designed for heavy parallel workloads, and the benchmark results reflect that intent.

In multi-threaded applications, the processor is formidable. It scores 30,695 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 12,891 in Cinebench R20 multi-core, and 3,093 in Cinebench R15 multi-core. Its PassMark multithread score is 36,870, and its integer math score is 126,852, with floating-point math at 92,369. These figures indicate that the CPU can handle demanding tasks like video encoding, software compilation, and complex simulations with ease. The data places the i7-13850HX in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 50,761.

The single-thread performance is equally strong, though less exceptional relative to its multi-core prowess. It achieves 4,333 points in Cinebench R23 single-core, 1,819 in Cinebench R20 single-core, and 436 in Cinebench R15 single-core. The PassMark single-thread score is 3,769. This level of performance ensures snappy responsiveness in everyday tasks and solid performance in lightly-threaded applications.

When compared to its nearest rivals, the i7-13850HX is effectively tied with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT, scoring 0.1% higher. It is 0.5% slower than the Intel Core i9-14900T, 0.6% faster than the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370, and 0.7% faster than the Intel Core i9-13980HX. These minute differences mean that in real-world usage, the performance of these processors is indistinguishable; the i7-13850HX is a top-tier mobile CPU that sits at the apex of the performance curve. The processor also supports ECC memory, a feature typically reserved for workstation platforms, and supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. It also provides 20 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, ensuring high-bandwidth connectivity for storage and other peripherals.

Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this exact CPU+GPU combination. The `measuredFpsUltraByGame` data is empty. Therefore, all gaming performance figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores of the AMD Radeon 760M and the overall system characteristics. The raw data clearly indicates that gaming performance is limited by the integrated GPU.

The AMD Radeon 760M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a PassMark G3D score of 5,310. This places it in the 35th percentile of all GPUs, and its average benchmark score is 6,019. In DirectX benchmarks, it scores 65 in DirectX 9, 52 in DirectX 11, and 25 in DirectX 12. These scores are exceptionally low, indicating that the GPU is not designed for modern, demanding game titles at high settings.

Given the GPU's score, expectations for 1080p gaming at "Ultra" settings are very poor. The GPU would likely struggle to maintain playable frame rates in most AAA titles released in recent years. The data suggests that this system is not suitable for high-fidelity gaming. Users might expect to run older or less demanding games, like esports titles, at lower resolutions and settings, but even then, performance would be marginal. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 400 further underscores the GPU's limitations in modern graphics workloads. The high-performance CPU does not compensate for the GPU's deficiencies in gaming; the frame rate will be dictated almost entirely by the Radeon 760M. The data shows that this is not a gaming platform, and any expectation of a smooth, high-detail gaming experience is unrealistic.

GPU Analysis

The AMD Radeon 760M is an integrated graphics processor based on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on TSMC's 4 nm process. It has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 16 raster output units (ROPs). It also includes 8 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2599 MHz. Its pixel rate is 41.58 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 83.17 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 5.323 TFLOPS, with FP16 performance also at 5.323 TFLOPS (1:1).

The GPU's memory configuration is "System Shared," meaning it uses a portion of the system's main memory rather than dedicated VRAM. Its bandwidth is "System Dependent," which means the memory bandwidth is limited by the system's memory configuration and is not a fixed specification. This is a significant bottleneck for graphics performance, as shared memory is slower than dedicated VRAM and competes with the CPU for bandwidth.

The Radeon 760M's benchmark scores confirm its entry-level positioning. It achieves 20,255 in Geekbench OpenCL and 30,336 in Geekbench Vulkan. However, its PassMark scores are particularly low: 19 in DirectX 10, 52 in DirectX 11, and 25 in DirectX 12. The PassMark G2D score is 890, and the GPU compute score is 2,840. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 400.

In comparison to its nearest rivals, the Radeon 760M is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX 6400, scoring 0.3% higher. It is also 0.3% faster than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M and 0.4% faster than the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server. It is 0.5% slower than the NVIDIA Quadro P2000. These comparisons illustrate that while the 760M is an integrated part, its performance is comparable to some low-end discrete GPUs from several generations ago. The GPU supports modern APIs like DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, but its raw processing power is insufficient for the demands of contemporary software. The data shows that the GPU is adequate for basic display output, video playback, and very light graphics acceleration, but it is not a viable solution for rendering or modern gaming.

Balance and Bottleneck

This system exhibits a severe bottleneck imbalance. The CPU is in the 90th percentile, while the GPU is in the 35th percentile. The data shows that the CPU will be the dominant component in almost all workloads, but the nature of the bottleneck depends on the task. In CPU-intensive tasks like multi-threaded rendering, data compression, and encryption, the CPU will be fully utilized, and the GPU will be largely idle. The PassMark data compression score of 441,525 and data encryption score of 26,062 highlight the CPU's capability in these areas.

Conversely, in graphics-intensive tasks like gaming, the GPU will be the limiting factor. The CPU will be underutilized as it waits for the GPU to process frames. The GPU's low PassMark G3D score of 5,310 compared to the CPU's multi-thread score of 36,870 shows the massive gap in capability. For gaming, the FPS will be dictated by the GPU's performance, and the CPU's power will be wasted.

The system's combined percentile is 63, which is lower than the CPU's 90th percentile but higher than the GPU's 35th percentile. This composite score reflects the drag that the GPU has on the overall system performance. The benchmark results indicate a classic case of a high-end processor paired with an entry-level integrated GPU. The CPU is over-provisioned for the GPU's capabilities, meaning that the system will feel very fast for general productivity and CPU-centric tasks but will fall short in any 3D application. The data suggests that the only way to balance this system would be to pair it with a discrete GPU, but as an integrated solution, the bottleneck is fixed.

Benchmark Performance

The combined picture from the benchmark data is one of stark contrast. The Intel Core i7-13850HX achieves an average benchmark score of 50,761, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT, scores 50,718, a mere 0.1% difference. The CPU is also closely matched with the Intel Core i9-14900T (51,015, 0.5% slower), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 (50,448, 0.6% faster), and the Intel Core i9-13980HX (50,398, 0.7% faster). This data confirms that the i7-13850HX is a top-five tier mobile processor.

In stark contrast, the AMD Radeon 760M has an average benchmark score of 6,019, placing it in the 35th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 6400, which scores 6,001 (0.3% slower). It is also comparable to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M (6,000, 0.3% slower), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server (5,996, 0.4% slower), and the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (6,049, 0.5% faster). The GPU's percentile ranking is well below average, indicating its position in the low-end segment.

When considered together, the system's combined percentile is 63. This metric is a weighted average of the CPU and GPU performance. The high CPU score pulls the combined percentile up, but the GPU's low score prevents it from entering the higher echelons. The data shows that this build is defined by its CPU. The processor's 30,695 score in Cinebench R23 multi-core is a figure typically associated with high-end desktop processors, while the GPU's 5,310 PassMark G3D score is a figure associated with basic integrated graphics. The benchmark data clearly indicates that the overall performance tier of this build is determined by the CPU, with the GPU acting as a significant limiting factor for any graphics-related task.

Build Overview

This build is a laptop-class system (buildClass: "laptop") that pairs a top-of-the-line Intel Core i7-13850HX mobile processor with AMD's Radeon 760M integrated graphics. The CPU is a 20-core Raptor Lake-HX part with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz and a 55 W TDP, designed for maximum performance in mobile workstations. The GPU is a RDNA 3.0 integrated solution that shares system memory and is positioned at the entry-level for graphics.

The overall tier of this build is defined by the CPU's exceptional performance. The processor's 90th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 50,761 place it among the most powerful mobile CPUs available. The GPU, however, is in the 35th percentile with an average score of 6,019, which firmly anchors the system's graphics capability to the low end. The combined percentile of 63 reflects this imbalance. This is a system built around pure CPU compute power; it is a high-performance workstation for processing data, compiling code, and running complex algorithms, but it is not a gaming or GPU-accelerated creation machine. The data shows that the user is investing in the CPU's massive multi-threading capabilities, accepting that the integrated graphics are a basic utility rather than a feature.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core i7-13850HX is a mobile processor soldered to the motherboard via the Intel BGA 1964 socket. This means the CPU itself is not upgradable; it is a permanent part of the laptop's mainboard. The platform supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, which is the primary memory upgrade path. Users can potentially increase the system's memory capacity and bandwidth, which would also benefit the integrated GPU since it relies on system memory for its frame buffer.

The CPU supports PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes, providing high-speed connectivity for storage devices like NVMe SSDs. The GPU, however, is an integrated part that uses the PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface and cannot be upgraded. The system's TDP is 55 W for the CPU, and the GPU has a 15 W TDP, meaning the total power draw is relatively low, but there is no `suggestedPsu` data for this laptop configuration.

A sensible next upgrade for this system would be to maximize the memory configuration. Upgrading to faster DDR5 memory would improve both system performance and the integrated GPU's bandwidth, which is currently "System Dependent." Since the CPU is not upgradable and the GPU is integrated, memory is the only performance-relevant component that can be changed. The data shows that the platform's primary limitation is the integrated GPU, and there is no path to install a discrete GPU in this configuration. Therefore, the only meaningful upgrade is more or faster system memory to alleviate the GPU's shared-memory bottleneck.
