# Intel Core i7-14701TE + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D

This desktop pairing combines an 8-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake-R processor with a 24 GB Ada Lovelace flagship GPU, landing at the 88th combined percentile across all CPU+GPU configurations. The CPU sits at the 78th percentile among all processors with an average benchmark score of 26,013, while the GPU reaches the 98th percentile with an average score of 178,050. The data shows a lopsided pairing: the RTX 4090 D is a top-tier rendering monster, while the i7-14701TE is a mid-range, power-efficient workhorse. No measured FPS data exists for this exact combination, so all frame-rate discussions below are estimates derived from the synthetic benchmark scores.

Usage Scenarios

For high-refresh gaming at 1440p or 4K, this build is heavily GPU-bound. The RTX 4090 D's 98th percentile ranking and 73.54 TFLOPS FP32 throughput suggest it can drive extremely high frame rates, but the CPU's 78th percentile position and PassMark single-thread score of 2,637 may limit performance in CPU-heavy scenes. Expect the GPU to be the primary driver of FPS in most titles, with the CPU providing adequate but not exceptional support.

Streaming and content creation workloads benefit from the CPU's 16 threads and the GPU's NVENC-class hardware, though specific encoder specs are not listed. The combined 88th percentile ranking indicates strong overall capability, and the CPU's PassMark multi-thread score of 20,042 suggests it can handle encoding tasks while gaming, though the 45 W TDP may constrain sustained all-core loads.

Video editing in applications like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve will leverage both components heavily. The GPU's 24 GB VRAM and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are exceptional for timeline scrubbing and effects rendering, while the CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17,035 indicates solid export performance. The 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient for 4K editing workflows, though the 78th percentile CPU ranking means it trails higher-end desktop chips in render times.

3D rendering in Blender or similar applications is this build's strongest suit. The GPU's 114 RT cores and 456 tensor cores, combined with 73.54 TFLOPS FP32 performance, put it in the 98th percentile of all GPUs — a category that includes workstation-class accelerators. The CPU's Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 7,154 provides respectable CPU-based rendering fallback, but the GPU will dominate any ray-traced workload.

Software development tasks, including compilation and testing, show a mixed picture. The CPU's PassMark data compression score of 220,520 and integer math score of 65,792 indicate strong parallel processing for build tools, while the 2.10 GHz base clock and 5.20 GHz boost clock give good single-thread responsiveness for code editing. The 33 MB shared L3 cache helps with frequently accessed code segments, though the 78th percentile ranking suggests faster options exist for large-scale builds.

Student and office work is well-served by this configuration, though it is overkill for basic tasks. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 2,637 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,405 provide snappy application launches and document editing, while the integrated UHD Graphics 770 offers a fallback if the discrete GPU is unavailable. The 45 W TDP makes this a relatively efficient system for dorm rooms or small offices, and the DDR4/DDR5 memory support offers flexibility in system building.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's average benchmark score of 26,013 places it at the 78th percentile of all processors. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, scores 25,981 — a delta of 0.1%, meaning the two are effectively tied. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 26,106, putting the i7-14701TE 0.4% behind, while the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE (25,880) and Ryzen 5 8540U (26,187) round out a tightly clustered group with deltas of 0.5% and -0.7%, respectively. This indicates the i7-14701TE sits in a competitive mid-range band where performance differences are negligible.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 178,050 places it at the 98th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, scores 182,109, putting the RTX 4090 D 2.2% behind. The NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB (183,725) leads by 3.1%, the RTX 5000 Ada Generation (184,664) by 3.6%, and the A100 SXM4 40 GB (187,147) by 4.9%. Notably, the RTX 4090 D trails these workstation-focused cards despite its gaming heritage, but it outranks the vast majority of the GPU landscape.

In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 4090 D scores 8,587, while Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores are 278,621 and 246,941, respectively. These figures confirm the GPU's dominance in both compute and graphics workloads. The combined picture is a system where the GPU outperforms the CPU by a wide margin — 20 percentile points — meaning the processor will frequently be the limiting factor in GPU-bound scenarios.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-14701TE is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process node with a die size of 257 mm². It operates at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boosts to 5.20 GHz, with a 45 W TDP that classifies it as a power-efficient desktop part. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 33 MB shared L3, providing ample fast storage for active workloads.

Benchmark results show a processor that excels in multi-threaded tasks relative to its power envelope. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17,035 and R20 score of 7,154 indicate strong sustained performance for a 45 W part, while the R15 multi-core score of 1,716 confirms scaling across the 8 cores. Single-thread performance is equally respectable: Cinebench R23 single-core scores 2,405, R20 scores 1,010, and R15 scores 242, all of which support responsive everyday use and gaming.

The PassMark suite reveals specific workload characteristics. Integer math scores 65,792, floating-point math scores 50,219, and extended instructions score 14,354, showing balanced ALU/FPU capability. Data compression scores 220,520, while encryption scores 11,699 — the latter being modest, suggesting AES-NI performance is adequate but not class-leading. The find prime numbers score of 143 is low, indicating that pure integer-heavy, single-threaded algorithms are not this chip's strength. The multithread score of 20,042 and physics score of 1,860 further confirm the CPU's mid-range positioning.

The 10 nm process and 45 W TDP suggest this is a thermally efficient design, though the 5.20 GHz boost clock indicates it can draw significant power when needed. The lack of an unlocked multiplier means overclocking is not supported, so users must rely on stock performance. Memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5, with dual-channel access, provides flexibility but also means bandwidth depends on the chosen memory type.

Who Should Build It

Gamers targeting 4K resolution with maximum settings will find this build well-suited, as the RTX 4090 D's 98th percentile GPU score and 24 GB VRAM handle high-resolution textures and ray tracing easily. At 1440p, the system will also deliver high refresh rates, though the CPU's 78th percentile position may cap frame rates in esports titles where CPU overhead dominates.

Content creators working with 4K or 8K video, complex 3D scenes, or large photo libraries will benefit from the GPU's 24 GB VRAM and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth. The CPU's 16 threads and 33 MB L3 cache handle multitasking between editing, rendering, and playback, while the data compression score of 220,520 aids in archive and export workflows. For GPU-accelerated rendering, the 114 RT cores and 456 tensor cores provide near-workstation-class performance, though the CPU will lag behind in CPU-only renders.

Software developers building large codebases will appreciate the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads for parallel compilation, with the integer math score of 65,792 indicating solid throughput. The 5.20 GHz boost clock ensures snappy IDE responsiveness, and the 33 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency for frequently accessed code. However, developers working on massive monorepos may find the 78th percentile CPU ranking limiting compared to higher-core-count desktop parts.

Students and small business users running office applications, web browsing, and light creative work will find this system vastly overprovisioned, but the 45 W CPU TDP means it can operate in compact, quiet enclosures. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a backup display output, and the dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 support allows cost-effective memory choices. The ECC memory support is a notable feature for workstation-class reliability.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination, so all frame-rate figures below are estimates based on the benchmark scores. The RTX 4090 D's 98th percentile GPU ranking and 73.54 TFLOPS FP32 performance suggest it can deliver extremely high frame rates at any resolution. At 1080p and 1440p, the CPU's single-thread score of 2,637 on PassMark will likely become the bottleneck in many titles, potentially capping FPS below what the GPU can produce. At 4K, the GPU's 24 GB VRAM and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth allow maximum texture quality and ray tracing settings without memory pressure.

For esports titles like Counter-Strike or Valorant, the 5.20 GHz boost clock and 8 cores should push well beyond 200 FPS at 1080p, though the 78th percentile CPU ranking means it trails dedicated high-frequency gaming chips. For AAA single-player games, the GPU will dominate, with the 114 RT cores providing strong ray-traced performance. The 456 tensor cores enable DLSS features, which can boost frame rates at higher resolutions. The data indicates this is a 4K-centric gaming machine where the CPU's limitations are most visible at lower resolutions.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses Intel Socket 1700, which supports the Core 14th Gen series. This socket is shared with 12th and 13th Gen parts, though the fact pack does not list forward compatibility beyond the 14th Gen. The platform supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, allowing users to choose between cost-effective DDR4 or higher-bandwidth DDR5. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the GPU uses PCIe 4.0 x16, meaning there is no bottleneck from the GPU's bus interface.

The 45 W CPU TDP and 425 W GPU TDP suggest a total system draw that the 800 W suggested PSU comfortably handles. The GPU requires a single 16-pin power connector, and the triple-slot cooler demands a spacious case. A sensible next upgrade would be a higher-core-count 14th Gen processor on the same socket, which would improve CPU-bound workloads without changing the motherboard. However, the 78th percentile CPU ranking means such an upgrade would target diminishing returns, as the GPU's 98th percentile ranking already exceeds the CPU's capability in most scenarios.

Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build pairing an Intel Core i7-14701TE with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D. The CPU is a 14th Gen Raptor Lake-R part with 8 cores and 16 threads, a 45 W TDP, and a 5.20 GHz boost clock. The GPU is an Ada Lovelace-based RTX 4090 D with 24 GB GDDR6X memory, 73.54 TFLOPS FP32 performance, and a 425 W TDP. The overall tier is high: the combined percentile of 88 places this system above the vast majority of configurations, though the CPU's 78th percentile and GPU's 98th percentile reveal a significant performance gap between the two components.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data clearly shows the GPU is the dominant component, with a 20-percentile-point advantage over the CPU. In GPU-bound workloads like 4K gaming, 3D rendering, and video effects, the RTX 4090 D will operate at near-full utilization while the CPU idles. The GPU's 98th percentile ranking against all GPUs, including workstation parts like the A100 SXM4, indicates it is a top-tier compute device. In contrast, the CPU's 78th percentile ranking and tight clustering with rivals (0.1% to -0.7% deltas) show it is a mid-range part.

The bottleneck shifts to the CPU in scenarios requiring high single-thread performance, such as 1080p gaming at high refresh rates, or heavily threaded CPU workloads like software compilation. The PassMark single-thread score of 2,637 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,405 are respectable but not exceptional, meaning the CPU will cap frame rates in CPU-bound games. The FPS scaling from benchmark scores suggests that at 4K, the GPU becomes the sole limiter, delivering maximum performance, while at 1080p, the CPU's 8 cores and 5.20 GHz boost clock will be the primary constraint.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D is built on the AD102 chip using TSMC's 5 nm process, with 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die. It features 14,592 shading units, 456 TMUs, and 176 ROPs, along with 114 RT cores and 456 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2520 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus delivers 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which is exceptional for high-resolution textures and large compute datasets.

The GPU's pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,149.1 GTexel/s indicate it can fill and texture frames at extreme rates, supporting the 98th percentile ranking. The FP32 throughput of 73.54 TFLOPS and FP16 performance at 73.54 TFLOPS (1:1) make it a formidable compute device for scientific and AI workloads, further evidenced by the Geekbench OpenCL score of 278,621. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 8,587 confirms strong rasterization and DX12 feature support, while the Vulkan score of 246,941 shows cross-API consistency.

The RTX 4090 D's 114 RT cores provide hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and the 456 tensor cores enable AI-accelerated features like DLSS. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, ensuring broad API compatibility. With a 425 W TDP and an 800 W suggested PSU, this is a power-hungry component that requires robust cooling and a high-capacity power supply. The triple-slot design and 304 mm length demand a full-sized case, and the 1x 16-pin power connector is a modern standard. The GPU's end-of-life production status means it is no longer manufactured, but its 98th percentile performance ensures it remains a top-tier choice for gaming and professional rendering.
