# Intel Core i7-14701E + AMD Radeon RX 6700 — Benchmark Database Analysis

The Intel Core i7-14701E paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 is a desktop-class combination (buildClass: "desktop") that sits at the 79th combined percentile across all CPU+GPU pairings in the database. The CPU is an 8-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake-R part with a 2.60 GHz base clock and 5.40 GHz boost, while the GPU is a RDNA 2.0 Navi 22 chip with 10 GB of GDDR6 memory. This pairing targets high-refresh 1080p gaming, content creation, and mixed productivity workloads, though the data shows distinct strengths and limitations across different use cases.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-14701E is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on Intel's 10 nm process (die size 257 mm²) using the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R revision. It belongs to the Core 14th Gen series and carries a 65 W TDP, making it a power-conscious desktop part despite its high boost clock. The base clock of 2.60 GHz is modest, but the 5.40 GHz boost clock provides substantial single-thread headroom. Cache hierarchy includes 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and a shared 33 MB L3 cache.

Benchmark results show a strong multi-threaded profile. In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 22195 multi-core and 3133 single-core. The multi-core result places the chip at the 83rd percentile versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 33206. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H scores 33201 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS scores 33244 (-0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33091 (+0.3%), and the Intel Core i7-13650HX scores 33089 (+0.4%). This means the i7-14701E is statistically indistinguishable from those four parts in average performance, with deltas well under 1%.

The data also reveals specific workload characteristics. PassMark integer math scores 81325, while floating-point math scores 61873 — a ratio indicating balanced ALU/FPU throughput. Data compression scores 282939, which is exceptionally strong and suggests excellent memory subsystem performance for archival tasks. Data encryption scores 14862, and extended instructions (AVX/AVX2-style workloads) score 18528. The find-prime-numbers test scores just 176, which is low relative to the other PassMark subtests, suggesting the CPU's branch predictor and integer division throughput are not tuned for that particular workload. Single-thread PassMark scores 4305, which is competitive with modern desktop parts in that range.

Real-world implications: the 8-core/16-thread configuration with high boost clocks makes this CPU well-suited for compiled workloads, spreadsheet manipulation, and light-threaded applications. The 33 MB shared L3 cache helps with cache-sensitive tasks like database queries and simulation loops. The 65 W TDP suggests thermal headroom is limited compared to higher-TDP parts, but the benchmark scores indicate it does not sacrifice much throughput to achieve that efficiency.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The CPU's single-core Cinebench R23 score of 3133 and PassMark single-thread score of 4305 indicate strong per-core performance that can feed a mid-range GPU at 1080p high-refresh rates. The GPU's 75th percentile ranking and 11.29 TFLOPS FP32 throughput suggest 144Hz-class performance in esports titles, though the lack of measured FPS data means exact frame rates are estimates.

Streaming: The 8-core/16-thread configuration provides enough parallel capacity for simultaneous game encoding and rendering. The PassMark multithread score of 26112 indicates headroom for x264/x265 encoding alongside gaming, though dedicated encoding hardware on the GPU would reduce CPU load further.

Video editing: Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 9321 and R15 multi-core score of 2237 point to solid timeline scrubbing and preview rendering in 1080p and 1440p projects. The data encryption score of 14862 suggests acceptable performance for encrypted proxy workflows. The GPU's 320.0 GB/s bandwidth helps with effects processing, but 10 GB VRAM may limit very large 4K compositions.

3D rendering: Cinebench R23 multi-core 22195 positions this CPU in the upper-mid range for CPU-based rendering. For GPU rendering, the RX 6700's 11.29 TFLOPS FP32 and 22.58 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1) provide decent Blender Cycles or Octane performance, but the 160-bit memory bus and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth are bottlenecks for large scenes.

Software development: PassMark integer math 81325 and data compression 282939 indicate fast compilation and source control operations. The 16 threads handle parallel builds well, while the 5.40 GHz boost clock reduces single-threaded lag in editors and linkers.

Student and office work: The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking and 65 W TDP make it efficient for sustained all-core loads like spreadsheet recalculation or virtual machines. The iGPU (UHD Graphics 770) provides a fallback for office tasks, though the discrete GPU is preferred for any graphics work.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's average benchmark score is 33206, placing it at the 83rd percentile versus all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.4% delta, confirming that this chip is positioned in a highly competitive performance band. The GPU's average benchmark score is 30433, placing it at the 75th percentile versus all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA CMP 70HX at 30476 (-0.1%), NVIDIA Tesla M60 at 30490 (-0.2%), AMD Radeon RX 6800 at 30095 (+1.1%), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti at 29945 (+1.6%). This means the RX 6700 is essentially on par with those parts, with a slight edge over the RX 6800 and RTX 3070 Ti in average score.

Specific GPU benchmarks: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 scores 2014, which is a modest result for modern DX12 titles. Geekbench Metal scores 122223, OpenCL 97841, and Vulkan 83974. PassMark G3D scores 18931, with DirectX 12 scoring 71, DirectX 11 scoring 166, DirectX 10 scoring 115, and DirectX 9 scoring 250. The G2D score of 936 suggests acceptable 2D acceleration for desktop compositing. PassMark GPU compute scores 8240, which is relatively low for compute-heavy workloads.

Combined, the CPU at 83rd percentile and GPU at 75th percentile yield a combined percentile of 79. This indicates the GPU is the limiting factor in most scenarios, as the CPU has more headroom relative to its peers than the GPU does relative to its own peers.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a clear bottleneck pattern: the CPU's percentile (83) exceeds the GPU's percentile (75) by 8 points. This means in CPU-bound workloads (compilation, data compression, multithreaded rendering), the system performs near its CPU's capability. In GPU-bound workloads (gaming at high resolutions, GPU rendering), the RX 6700 holds the system back relative to what the CPU could feed.

Specifically, at 1080p gaming, the CPU's single-thread score of 4305 (PassMark) can likely drive the GPU to near its maximum in less demanding titles, but at 1440p or 4K, the GPU's 75th percentile ranking becomes the ceiling. The GPU's 320.0 GB/s bandwidth and 160-bit bus are narrower than the CPU's memory bandwidth capabilities (the CPU supports dual-channel DDR4/DDR5, though exact bandwidth figures are not in the data).

FPS scaling evidence is absent (no measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination), but the percentile gap and the GPU's 10 GB VRAM capacity suggest that at 1080p ultra settings, the GPU will be the primary limiter in most modern titles. In CPU-heavy simulations or strategy games, the CPU's 83rd percentile position means it will rarely be the constraint.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses Intel Socket 1700, which is the LGA 1700 platform supporting both DDR4 and DDR5 memory (dual-channel). It supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, which future-proofs storage and GPU connectivity for the next one to two generations. ECC memory support is present, which is an unusual feature for a consumer i7 and could appeal to small workstations or homelab users.

The GPU uses PCIe 4.0 x16, which matches the CPU's PCIe Gen 5 slots (backward compatible). The suggested PSU is 450 W, and the GPU TDP is 175 W with a single 8-pin power connector. The CPU TDP is 65 W, so the combined system draw is well within the 450 W suggested PSU, leaving headroom for drives, fans, and moderate overclocking (though the CPU multiplier is locked, so no CPU overclocking is possible).

A sensible next upgrade would be a higher-tier GPU in the RX 6000 series or later, since the CPU's 83rd percentile ranking can support significantly more graphics horsepower. The 450 W PSU may need a bump if upgrading to a GPU with higher TDP, but the current pairing is well-balanced for the power envelope.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination; the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps rows. Therefore, all FPS figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores and percentile positions, not direct measurements.

At 1080p ultra settings, the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 18931 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2014 suggest the RX 6700 can deliver playable frame rates in most titles, with esports games likely exceeding 100 FPS and AAA titles ranging from 60-90 FPS depending on optimization. The CPU's single-thread Cinebench R23 score of 3133 ensures it will not bottleneck at this resolution in most scenarios.

At 1440p, the GPU's 10 GB VRAM and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth become more limiting. Frame rates are expected to drop by roughly 20-30% compared to 1080p, and some titles may require reduced settings to maintain 60 FPS. The RTX 3070 Ti rival (1.6% higher average score) suggests the RX 6700 is slightly behind that card in overall performance, which is a common reference point for 1440p gaming.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The 75th percentile ranking and 160-bit bus are insufficient for consistent 4K ultra gaming; users should expect 30-50 FPS in demanding titles even with upscaling. The CPU, however, would have no trouble feeding the GPU at this resolution.

GPU Analysis

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 uses the Navi 22 chip on TSMC's 7 nm process (17,200 million transistors, 335 mm² die). It features RDNA 2.0 architecture with 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The 36 RT cores provide hardware ray tracing support, and the GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Memory configuration: 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus, yielding 320.0 GB/s bandwidth. Memory clocks are 2000 MHz base with 16 Gbps effective transfer rate. This capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming with high textures, but may be tight for 4K ultra or large texture packs in modded titles.

Clock speeds: base 1941 MHz, boost 2450 MHz, and game clock 2174 MHz. Pixel rate is 156.8 GPixel/s, texture rate is 352.8 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 11.29 TFLOPS, and FP16 is 22.58 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio). These figures place the GPU in the upper-mid range of the RX 6000 series, below the RX 6800 (which scores 1.1% higher in average benchmark) but above the RTX 3070 Ti (which scores 1.6% lower).

The benchmark data shows mixed results: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 scores 2014, which is low relative to the GPU's G3D score of 18931. This suggests the GPU may struggle with newer DX12 features or the workload pattern in Steel Nomad. PassMark DirectX 12 score of 71 is notably low, while DirectX 9 scores 250, indicating better performance in legacy APIs. This could imply driver overhead or architectural inefficiencies in newer API paths, though the Geekbench Vulkan score of 83974 is respectable.

For rendering, the 11.29 TFLOPS FP32 is adequate for Blender Cycles and similar GPU renderers, but the 160-bit memory bus limits bandwidth-heavy scenes. The 36 RT cores provide hardware ray tracing that accelerates RT-enabled workloads, though the performance will be modest compared to higher-tier parts.
