The Intel Core i7-13850HX and Intel Arc A770M form a laptop-class pairing that sits near the upper-middle tier of all combined CPU and GPU configurations. The CPU, a 20-core Raptor Lake-HX part, posts a 90th percentile ranking among all processors, while the GPU, an Arc Alchemist mobile part, lands at the 62nd percentile. Together, the combination achieves a 76th percentile rank, signaling a system that excels in multi-threaded productivity but remains more modest in raw graphics throughput. The data contains no measured FPS rows for this exact CPU+GPU match, so all gaming performance discussions below are estimates derived from the benchmark scores, not direct measurements.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between this CPU and GPU is decidedly lopsided in favor of the processor. In CPU-bound workloads, the i7-13850HX delivers exceptional results: its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30695 places it within 0.7% of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 and just 0.5% below the Intel Core i9-14900T, according to nearestRivals data. The CPU’s PassMark multi-thread score of 36870 further confirms its strength, and its 90th percentile across all CPUs means it outperforms the vast majority of processors in existence. Meanwhile, the Arc A770M posts a PassMark G3D score of 11774 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2278, which lands it at the 62nd GPU percentile. That gap—90th versus 62nd—creates a clear bottleneck: the GPU will limit frame rates in graphically intensive tasks long before the CPU runs out of headroom.

The PassMark physics score of 2483 and the floating-point math score of 92369 suggest the CPU handles simulation and physics calculations with ease, which matters in games with complex AI or destructible environments. However, the GPU’s PassMark DirectX 12 score of 70 (on a scale where higher is better) and its PassMark G3D score of 11774 indicate that rasterization throughput is the limiting factor at high resolutions. For 1080p gaming, the CPU’s single-thread performance—Cinebench R23 single-core of 4333 and PassMark single-thread of 3769—can feed the GPU adequately, but at 1440p or 4K, the GPU’s 62nd percentile standing will cap frame rates more aggressively. The data shows a system where the CPU rarely breaks a sweat, while the GPU operates closer to its limits, especially under sustained load.

GPU Analysis

The Intel Arc A770M is built on the Xe-HPG architecture with the DG2-512 chip, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It packs 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth—a substantial amount that supports high-resolution textures and large datasets. The GPU’s base clock is 1650 MHz with a boost of 2050 MHz, and memory runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed. The shading units number 4096, with 256 texture mapping units and 128 raster output units. For ray tracing, it includes 32 RT cores, and while no tensor core count is listed, the architecture supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Benchmark results paint a mixed picture. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 89494 and Vulkan score of 74422 show respectable compute capability, but the PassMark DirectX tests are telling: DirectX 9 scores 178, DirectX 10 scores 56, DirectX 11 scores 69, and DirectX 12 scores 70. These low absolute numbers reflect the benchmark’s scaling, but the relative consistency across DX11 and DX12 suggests the GPU performs similarly across modern APIs. The PassMark G3D score of 11774 is its strongest rasterization metric, while the GPU compute score of 4778 indicates moderate compute throughput—useful for encoding or physics but not class-leading. The FP32 throughput of 16.79 TFLOPS and FP16 of 33.59 TFLOPS (2:1) provide theoretical ceilings for shader work, but real-world scores position the GPU near the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 (1.1% ahead) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile (1.2% ahead) in average benchmark score. The pixel rate of 262.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 524.8 GTexel/s are adequate for 1080p and some 1440p gaming, but the 62nd percentile rank signals it is not a high-end part.

Benchmark Performance

Focusing on exact scores, the CPU leads with a Cinebench R15 multi-core of 3093 and single-core of 436, while the R20 run reaches 12891 multi-core and 1819 single-core. The R23 multi-core of 30695 is the headline number, placing the i7-13850HX within 0.1% of the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT (which scores 50718 in average benchmark score versus 50761 for the i7) and 0.6% above the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370. In PassMark tests, the CPU’s integer math score of 126852 and floating-point math of 92369 highlight strong arithmetic throughput, while data compression at 441525 and data encryption at 26062 show solid memory-intensive performance. The extended instructions score of 26586 and random string sorting at 49198 round out a versatile profile. The average benchmark score of 50761 places it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs.

The GPU’s numbers are more modest. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2278 is a modern DirectX 12 benchmark, and its PassMark G3D of 11774 is the primary rasterization metric. Geekbench OpenCL at 89494 and Vulkan at 74422 show compute strength, but the PassMark GPU compute score of 4778 is lower, suggesting driver or workload-specific limitations. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 18383 places it at the 62nd percentile, with nearest rivals including the AMD Radeon RX 460 (0.1% ahead) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile (1.2% ahead). Combined, the CPU’s 90th percentile and GPU’s 62nd percentile yield a system-level 76th percentile, meaning the pairing is better than three-quarters of all laptop configurations but not a top-tier gaming machine.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: At 1080p, the CPU’s single-thread score of 4333 in Cinebench R23 can drive high frame rates in esports titles, but the GPU’s PassMark G3D of 11774 and 62nd percentile will cap performance. Expect solid 1080p gameplay, but 1440p high-refresh is likely out of reach for demanding titles.

Streaming: The CPU’s 20 cores and 28 threads, evidenced by the 36870 PassMark multi-thread score, provide ample headroom for encoding while gaming. The GPU’s 16 GB VRAM can hold both game assets and encoder buffers, making this a viable single-PC streaming setup.

Video editing: The Cinebench R23 multi-core of 30695 accelerates rendering and export tasks, while the GPU’s 16 GB GDDR6 with 512.0 GB/s bandwidth helps with timeline scrubbing and effect previews. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 89494 supports GPU-accelerated effects.

3D rendering: CPU rendering will shine—the 30695 Cinebench R23 score beats the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 by 0.6%—but GPU rendering will be limited by the Arc A770M’s 16.79 TFLOPS FP32 and 62nd percentile rank. Hybrid rendering workflows will balance the two.

Software development: Compilation and build tasks benefit from the 20 cores and 28 threads, with PassMark integer math at 126852 showing strong logic throughput. The GPU’s compute score of 4778 is sufficient for light OpenCL workloads, but not for heavy parallel compute.

Student and office work: The CPU’s PassMark single-thread of 3769 handles everyday applications smoothly, and the 90th percentile CPU ranking ensures responsiveness. The GPU is overkill for office tasks, but its 16 GB VRAM allows for occasional CAD or data visualization work.

Who Should Build It

This pairing targets users who need heavy CPU compute but can tolerate mid-range GPU performance. Gamers at 1080p will find the Arc A770M’s 62nd percentile sufficient for most titles, especially with 16 GB VRAM for texture-heavy games, but those seeking 1440p or 4K high-refresh should look elsewhere. Content creators—video editors, 3D renderers, and data analysts—will benefit most from the CPU’s 90th percentile ranking, using the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30695 for rapid exports and the 441525 data compression score for file-heavy workflows. Software developers compiling large codebases will appreciate the 20 cores and 28 threads, while the GPU’s OpenCL score of 89494 supports some compute acceleration. Students and small business workstations can leverage the CPU’s single-thread score of 3769 for everyday productivity, but the GPU is more than needed for office tasks—its 16 GB VRAM is wasted on spreadsheets. This is not a system for high-end gaming enthusiasts; it is a workstation-grade CPU paired with a capable but not exceptional GPU.

Build Overview

The Intel Core i7-13850HX and Intel Arc A770M is a laptop-class configuration, as indicated by the buildClass field. The CPU is a 20-core Raptor Lake-HX mobile part with a 90th percentile ranking, while the GPU is an Arc Alchemist mobile chip with a 62nd percentile ranking. Together, they achieve a combined 76th percentile, placing this build in the upper-middle tier of all systems. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 50761 is competitive with desktop-grade processors like the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT (0.1% difference), while the GPU’s average score of 18383 puts it in the same league as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile (1.2% difference). This is a productivity-first machine with gaming as a secondary role, not a dedicated gaming rig.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination—the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps rows. All gaming frame rate discussions are therefore estimates based on benchmark scores. The CPU’s strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core of 4333) suggests it will not bottleneck the GPU in most games, while the GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 11774 and 62nd percentile indicate mid-range rasterization capability. At 1080p, the Arc A770M’s 16 GB VRAM and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth should handle high settings in most modern titles, with frame rates likely in the playable range (estimates, not measured). At 1440p, the GPU’s 62nd percentile will cause frame rates to drop, especially in demanding titles, as its FP32 throughput of 16.79 TFLOPS is modest by current standards. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2278 suggests modern DirectX 12 games will run but not excel. The PassMark DirectX 12 score of 70, while low in absolute terms, is consistent with the GPU’s overall position near the RTX 3060 Mobile, so expect performance similar to that class of mobile GPU. Ray tracing via the 32 RT cores will be possible but likely at reduced frame rates, given the GPU’s overall percentile.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses the Intel BGA 1964 socket, which is a soldered mobile platform—no CPU upgrades are possible. The GPU is also integrated into the laptop chassis, so neither component can be swapped. The platform supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, with ECC memory as an option, so upgrading RAM is feasible within the laptop’s physical limits. PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU provides ample bandwidth for future NVMe SSDs, though the GPU itself uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The CPU’s TDP is 55 W, and the GPU’s TDP is 120 W, totaling 175 W for the core components; the suggested PSU field is null, so power supply headroom is unknown, but laptop power bricks must accommodate this draw. A sensible next upgrade would be increasing memory capacity or speed, given the dual-channel support and the CPU’s data compression score of 441525, which benefits from faster RAM. Storage upgrades via PCIe Gen 5 slots are also viable. However, the architecture’s soldered nature means the platform itself has limited longevity—future performance gains would require a new laptop, not component swaps. The GPU’s production status is end-of-life, so driver support and availability may wane, though the CPU remains active in production.
