The Intel Core i7-14700 paired with the Intel Arc A380E represents a specific desktop configuration where a high-end 14th Generation CPU is matched with an entry-level discrete graphics card. The benchmark data for this combination shows a clear division of labor: the processor is a top-tier performer relative to all CPUs, while the graphics card sits at the median of all GPUs. This pairing is primarily defined by the CPU’s exceptional multi-threaded capabilities, which are not fully utilized in graphics workloads due to the GPU’s more modest specifications. The data indicates a desktop build class with a combined percentile rank of 71, suggesting that the overall system performance is above average, driven almost entirely by the processor’s strength.

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

The Intel Arc A380E is a discrete graphics card based on the Xe-HPG architecture, utilizing the DG2-128 chip manufactured on a 6 nm process by TSMC. The GPU is equipped with 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 186.0 GB/s. The base and boost clocks are both set at 2000 MHz, with memory running at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective). The card contains 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 raster operation pipelines. For hardware-accelerated ray tracing, it has 8 RT cores; the FACT PACK does not list tensor cores, so any AI acceleration capabilities are not quantified here.

In terms of raw throughput, the A380E delivers 4.096 TFLOPS for FP32 operations and 8.192 TFLOPS for FP16 (at a 2:1 ratio). The pixel rate is 64.00 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 128.0 GTexel/s. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, making it compatible with modern graphics APIs. The card has a TDP of 75 W and requires no additional power connectors, drawing power solely from the motherboard slot. It occupies a single slot and is 254 mm long, with 4x DisplayPort 2.0 outputs.

The benchmark scores for this GPU are not populated in the data, which means there are no measured performance figures for rendering workloads. Consequently, the GPU’s percentile rank of 50 against all GPUs is a positional indicator, not a score-based measurement. This suggests that the A380E performs in the middle of the distribution of all GPUs, meaning it is neither a bottom-tier nor a high-end part. In rendering contexts, the 6 GB VRAM and 186.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p textures but may be limiting at higher resolutions or with high-detail assets. The 8 RT cores provide some ray tracing capability, but the modest FP32 throughput of 4.096 TFLOPS indicates that heavy ray-traced workloads will be constrained. The card’s power efficiency is notable, with a 75 W TDP and a suggested PSU of 250 W, positioning it as a low-power option for basic rendering tasks.

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

The CPU benchmarks are extensive and show a strong processor. In Cinebench R15, the i7-14700 scores 4061 points in multi-core and 299 in single-core. Cinebench R20 results are 14388 multi-core and 2031 single-core. Cinebench R23 yields 28398 multi-core and 2080 single-core. Geekbench scores are 17087 multi-core and 2409 single-core. PassMark tests show a multithread score of 40318 and a single-thread score of 4236. Specific PassMark sub-tests include data compression at 498198, data encryption at 29601, extended instructions at 28388, find prime numbers at 164, floating point math at 106716, integer math at 154535, physics at 2226, and random string sorting at 54340. The average benchmark score for the CPU is 52301.

The CPU’s percentile rank versus all CPUs is 91, placing it in the top 10% of processors. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon Gold 5320H with an average score of 52431 (deltaPct -0.2), meaning the i7-14700 is 0.2% behind; the AMD EPYC 8124P at 52121 (deltaPct 0.3), showing the i7 is 0.3% ahead; the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX at 52073 (deltaPct 0.4), where the i7 leads by 0.4%; and the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X at 51947 (deltaPct 0.7), with the i7 ahead by 0.7%. These deltas are extremely tight, indicating that the i7-14700 sits in a performance cluster with these other high-end chips, all within less than 1% of each other.

For the GPU, there are no benchmark scores, and its percentile rank is 50. The combined percentile for the build is 71, which is a weighted measure of the overall system performance. The data shows that the CPU is the dominant component in this pairing, with its 91st percentile vastly exceeding the GPU’s 50th percentile. The absence of measured FPS data for games means that the combined picture is one of a CPU that can handle demanding computational tasks effortlessly while the GPU acts as a bottleneck for graphics-intensive applications. The average CPU score of 52301 is impressive, but without GPU scores, the system’s gaming performance must be inferred from the GPU’s hardware capabilities rather than direct measurements.

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: With a GPU percentile of 50 and no measured FPS data, this system is not well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at demanding settings. The A380E’s 4.096 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 186.0 GB/s bandwidth suggest it can handle esports titles at 1080p, but the CPU’s 91st percentile single-core score of 4236 in PassMark ensures that frame pacing will not be CPU-limited. However, the GPU will likely cap frame rates well below what high-refresh monitors require.

Streaming: The CPU’s 20 cores and 28 threads, evidenced by a PassMark multithread score of 40318, provide ample headroom for encoding and streaming workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28398 indicates significant processing power for simultaneous game capture and encoding. The GPU’s lower performance, however, means that the game itself may run at lower settings, but the stream quality will be stable due to the CPU.

Video editing: The CPU excels in video editing, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 17087 and a PassMark integer math score of 154535, which are strong indicators for timeline scrubbing and export tasks. The GPU’s 6 GB VRAM can assist with effects and previews, but the 50th percentile position means it is not a primary accelerator. The CPU’s Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 14388 suggests fast rendering of video projects in software.

3D rendering: In CPU-based rendering, the i7-14700 is exceptional, with a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 4061 and a PassMark floating point math score of 106716. For GPU rendering, the A380E’s 8 RT cores and 4.096 TFLOPS are sufficient for light workloads, but the lack of measured scores means heavy ray tracing will be slow. The 75 W TDP and 250 W PSU requirement indicate a system that can run rendering tasks without high power draw.

Software development: The CPU’s PassMark data compression score of 498198 and random string sorting score of 54340 are relevant for compilation and code analysis. The 28 threads, as shown by the multithread score of 40318, allow for parallel builds. The GPU is less critical here, but its DirectX 12 Ultimate support ensures compatibility with graphics debugging tools.

Student and office work: For productivity applications, the CPU’s single-thread PassMark score of 4236 and Cinebench R15 single-core score of 299 provide snappy responsiveness. The GPU’s 4x DisplayPort 2.0 outputs support multiple monitors, which is beneficial for research and document work. The system’s combined percentile of 71 indicates it is above average for general tasks, though the GPU is overkill for basic office use.

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 build targets users who prioritize CPU-intensive tasks over graphics performance. Gamers at 1080p with low to medium settings will find the GPU’s 50th percentile sufficient for older titles, but those seeking high detail at 1440p or 4K should look elsewhere, as the 6 GB VRAM and 186.0 GB/s bandwidth are limiting. Content creators working with video editing or software rendering will benefit from the CPU’s 91st percentile, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28398 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 17087, enabling fast export times. Developers compiling large codebases will leverage the 20 cores and 28 threads, as evidenced by the PassMark multithread score of 40318, making this a strong workstation for software engineering.

Students in engineering or data science fields will appreciate the CPU’s PassMark integer math score of 154535 for numerical computations, while the GPU’s low power draw (75 W TDP) keeps the system quiet and cool for dorm rooms. Small business workstations handling spreadsheets, databases, and office applications will find the CPU’s single-thread performance of 4236 in PassMark more than adequate, and the GPU’s 4x DisplayPort 2.0 outputs allow for multi-monitor setups. Industries such as financial modeling, where the CPU’s data encryption score of 29601 and floating point math score of 106716 are useful, and scientific computing, which benefits from the extended instructions score of 28388, are ideal fits. However, 3D artists relying on GPU rendering will be disappointed by the lack of measured GPU scores and the mid-tier hardware.

Q: Are there any measured FPS data for this exact combination?

A: No, the FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this specific CPU and GPU pairing; all frame rate discussions are estimates.

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)

The data for this build does not include any measured FPS values for games at ultra settings, as the `measuredFpsUltraByGame` field is empty and `dataIsMeasured` is false. Therefore, all gaming performance figures are estimates based on the GPU’s hardware specifications and the CPU’s benchmark scores. The Intel Arc A380E’s 4.096 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 6 GB VRAM suggest that at 1080p with high (not ultra) settings, the card can achieve playable frame rates in less demanding titles, such as esports games, but will struggle with AAA releases at ultra presets. The CPU’s high single-thread score of 4236 in PassMark ensures that the processor will not bottleneck the GPU in most scenarios, but the GPU’s 50th percentile position means frame rates will be modest.

At 1440p, the 186.0 GB/s bandwidth and 96-bit memory bus will limit texture loading and bandwidth-intensive effects, resulting in lower frame rates than at 1080p. The 8 RT cores provide some ray tracing capability, but the low FP32 throughput means that enabling ray tracing will significantly reduce performance. The absence of measured data means these are qualitative estimates; for accurate FPS figures, one would need to refer to external benchmarks of the A380E in specific games. Given the GPU’s specifications, users should expect 30-60 FPS in older or less demanding games at 1080p medium settings, but this is an estimate and not a measured result.

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

The Intel Core i7-14700 is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, manufactured on a 10 nm process by Intel. It has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with ECC support. It uses the Intel Socket 1700 and has PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770. The TDP is 65 W, and the launch MSRP is $384. The multiplier is locked, meaning overclocking is limited.

In real workloads, the benchmark scores indicate a processor that excels in multi-threaded tasks. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28398 places it in the top tier for rendering and video encoding. The Geekbench multi-core score of 17087 and PassMark multithread score of 40318 reinforce its capability for parallel processing. Single-thread performance is also strong, with a PassMark single-thread score of 4236 and a Cinebench R15 single-core score of 299, making it responsive for everyday tasks. The PassMark data compression score of 498198 is particularly high, indicating excellent performance in file archiving and compression workloads. The integer math score of 154535 and floating point math score of 106716 show balanced arithmetic performance, suitable for scientific computing and financial modeling.

The CPU’s nearest rivals, including the Intel Xeon Gold 5320H and AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, are within 0.7% of its average score, demonstrating that the i7-14700 is competitive with workstation and high-end desktop chips. The 91st percentile rank means it outperforms 90% of all CPUs, so for tasks like software compilation, 3D rendering, and video editing, this processor will provide near-top-tier performance. The 65 W TDP is relatively low for the core count, suggesting good efficiency, but the locked multiplier limits enthusiast tuning.

Build Overview — what this CPU+GPU pairing is, its class (desktop/laptop from buildClass), and overall tier from the percentiles

This is a desktop build class pairing the Intel Core i7-14700 CPU with the Intel Arc A380E GPU. The CPU is a high-end 14th Generation processor, while the GPU is an entry-level discrete card from Intel’s Arc 3 line. The combined percentile rank for this system is 71, which places it above the median level of all builds. This tier indicates that the overall performance is solid, but it is heavily skewed by the CPU’s 91st percentile, which contrasts with the GPU’s 50th percentile. The system is best described as a CPU-centric workstation that happens to have a discrete GPU for basic graphics acceleration, rather than a balanced gaming or rendering rig.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 52301 and its position among rivals like the AMD EPYC 8124P and Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX show that it is a capable processor for demanding applications. The GPU, with no benchmark scores, has a 50th percentile rank, meaning it is exactly average in the distribution of all GPUs. This pairing is not typically found in pre-built gaming systems; it is more likely a custom build for users who need processing power for productivity but have modest graphics requirements. The overall tier is mid-range due to the GPU, despite the CPU’s high standing.

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

In this configuration, the CPU is overwhelmingly the stronger component, with a 91st percentile versus the GPU’s 50th percentile. This imbalance creates a clear bottleneck in graphics-intensive workloads. For gaming and 3D rendering that relies on the GPU, the A380E will limit performance, as its 4.096 TFLOPS FP32 and 6 GB VRAM are substantially below what the CPU can feed. The lack of measured FPS data means that scaling cannot be quantified, but the percentile gap indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint in any graphics task. In contrast, for CPU-bound workloads such as video encoding, software compilation, and data processing, the CPU will be the limiting factor only if the task is single-threaded, but its high single-thread score of 4236 in PassMark mitigates this.

The combined percentile of 71 suggests that in a balanced workload, the system performs above average, but the bottleneck is severe in GPU-heavy scenarios. For example, if the CPU were paired with a more powerful GPU, the system’s combined percentile would likely increase significantly. The data shows that the CPU’s nearest rivals are all within 0.7% in average score, so the bottleneck is not due to CPU weakness but due to GPU limitations. In productivity tasks, the CPU will be fully utilized, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28398, but in gaming, the GPU will cap frame rates, making the CPU’s power largely unused. This imbalance is a critical consideration for users who intend to play games or do GPU-accelerated rendering.

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

The Intel Core i7-14700 uses the Intel Socket 1700, which is compatible with 14th Generation and previous 12th/13th Generation motherboards, though a BIOS update may be required. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, allowing users to choose between older, cheaper DDR4 or newer, faster DDR5. The platform offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, providing ample bandwidth for high-end GPUs and NVMe SSDs. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback display output if the discrete GPU fails or is removed.

The GPU’s TDP is 75 W, and the suggested PSU is 250 W, which means the current power supply is likely sufficient for the entire system, given the CPU’s 65 W TDP. This leaves significant headroom for upgrades. A sensible next upgrade would be to replace the Intel Arc A380E with a higher-performance GPU, as the CPU’s 91st percentile ensures it will not bottleneck a faster card. For example, a GPU with a higher percentile rank would balance the system and improve the combined percentile of 71. The motherboard’s PCIe Gen 5 support and the CPU’s 16 lanes mean that any modern GPU will be fully compatible.

For memory, users can upgrade from DDR4 to DDR5 if their motherboard supports it, which would improve memory bandwidth for CPU-intensive tasks. The CPU’s 33 MB of L3 cache is already substantial, so cache upgrades are not applicable. The platform’s longevity is limited, as the Socket 1700 is not expected to support future generations beyond 14th, so a CPU upgrade would require a motherboard change. The most impactful upgrade is the GPU, followed by memory speed, to better utilize the CPU’s capabilities. The power supply’s 250 W suggestion indicates that even a mid-range GPU with a higher TDP could be accommodated, but users should verify the PSU’s wattage before upgrading to a power-hungry card.
