# CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-14701TE is a desktop processor from the Core 14th Gen family, built on the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R refresh codename. This is an 8-core, 16-thread part with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The 2.10 GHz base clock is notably low, which points to this being a power-optimized SKU, but the 5.20 GHz boost clock is extremely high — a 3.10 GHz delta between base and boost is a strong indicator that the chip can burst to high performance when thermals and power allow, but sustained all-core workloads will be governed by the 45 W TDP envelope. The processor is manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process node, with a die size of 257 mm².

Cache allocation is generous for the core count: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The 2 MB per-core L2 is a substantial amount, which helps feed the high boost clock and reduces latency in single-threaded workloads. The 33 MB shared L3 pool is typical for this generation and provides a decent buffer for multi-threaded tasks that share data. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5, running on a dual-channel bus, with ECC memory support enabled — a feature that positions this chip for workstation and reliability-focused builds.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the CPU scores 17,035 points, while the single-core score is 2,405 points. The single-core result is strong, reflecting the 5.20 GHz boost clock in action. The multi-core score, however, is tempered by the 45 W TDP — an unlocked multiplier would allow enthusiasts to push further, but this chip is locked (multiplierUnlocked: false), so the power limit is the governing constraint. In PassMark tests, the chip shows a multi-thread score of 20,042 and a single-thread score of 2,637. Integer math scores 65,792, floating-point math 50,219, and extended instructions 14,354. Data compression hits 220,520, while encryption scores 11,699. These numbers suggest a balanced performer that excels in integer-heavy workloads like code compilation and data processing.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 26,013, placing it at the 78th percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rivals are all AMD parts: the Ryzen AI 5 340 (avg score 25,981, delta 0.1%), Ryzen 5 8640HS (26,106, delta -0.4%), Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE (25,880, delta 0.5%), and Ryzen 5 8540U (26,187, delta -0.7%). The deltas are tiny — within 0.7% across the board — meaning this Intel chip is effectively performance-parity with those mobile and low-power AMD parts in aggregate benchmark scores, despite being a desktop chip with a higher boost clock. The 78th percentile ranking indicates that while this is not a top-tier halo CPU, it sits comfortably above the majority of processors available.

# Benchmark Performance

The CPU's benchmark suite shows a clear split between single-thread and multi-thread capability. In Cinebench R15, the multi-core score is 1,716 and single-core is 242. Cinebench R20 shows 7,154 multi-core and 1,010 single-core. These results, when compared to the R23 numbers, show a linear scaling pattern that is consistent with a processor that hits its power ceiling early in multi-threaded renders — the R20 to R23 multi-core ratio (7,154 to 17,035) is roughly 2.38x, which is expected for the newer test's longer workload. The single-core ratios hold up similarly, confirming that the 5.20 GHz boost is achievable in lightly-threaded tasks.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation is a workstation-class card based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, using the AD102 chip manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The chip packs 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 125.3M per mm². The GPU's average benchmark score is 184,664, which places it at the 98th percentile of all GPUs — a dominant position. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 175,286, and in Vulkan, it scores 194,041.

The nearest GPU rivals include the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB (avg score 183,725, delta 0.5%), A100 SXM4 40 GB (187,147, delta -1.3%), RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell (182,109, delta 1.4%), and GeForce RTX 4090 D (178,050, delta 3.7%). The RTX 5000 Ada Generation sits in the middle of this pack, trailing the A100 40 GB by 1.3% and leading the RTX 4090 D by 3.7%. This places it in rarefied company — the 98th percentile means it outperforms nearly every GPU in the database.

The combined percentile for this CPU+GPU pairing is 88. The data shows a stark contrast: a 78th percentile CPU paired with a 98th percentile GPU. The combined 88th percentile reflects a system that is GPU-dominant in overall capability. There are no measured FPS rows for this exact combination — the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data — so any discussion of frame rates must be framed as estimates derived from these benchmark scores rather than direct measurements.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The percentile gap between the CPU (78th) and GPU (98th) is the key indicator of system balance. A 20-percentage-point spread suggests that in many workloads, particularly those that are GPU-bound, the RTX 5000 Ada Generation will be the star performer, while the CPU may hold it back in scenarios that require rapid frame generation or physics calculations. The PassMark physics score of 1,860 and find prime numbers score of 143 are modest, indicating that the CPU is not a compute monster in every domain — these lower scores reflect the 45 W TDP limiting sustained all-core performance.

In gaming at high resolutions, the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel fill rate and shader complexity dominate. The RTX 5000 Ada Generation's 448.8 GPixel/s pixel rate and 1,020.0 GTexel/s texture rate are enormous, meaning the GPU can handle high-resolution rendering with ease, but the CPU must feed it draw calls. The CPU's 78th percentile suggests it can keep up at 4K, but at 1080p or 1440p with lower graphical settings, the CPU could become the bottleneck in frame rate. The single-thread score of 2,637 in PassMark is strong enough for most gaming scenarios, but the multi-thread score of 20,042 is less exceptional relative to the GPU's dominance.

For content creation, the balance shifts. In video editing, the CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17,035 will handle encoding and timeline operations, while the GPU accelerates effects and color grading. The PassMark data compression score of 220,520 is high, indicating the CPU is well-suited for file archiving and data-heavy workflows. However, in 3D rendering, the GPU's 65.28 TFLOPS of FP32 performance will dramatically outpace the CPU, making the GPU the clear performance driver in that scenario. The system is not perfectly balanced — the GPU is the headline act — but the CPU is competent enough to avoid being a severe liability in most tasks.

# Who Should Build It

This pairing targets users who need extreme GPU compute power without necessarily requiring a top-tier CPU. The 98th percentile GPU performance makes this system ideal for professionals in 3D rendering, scientific computing, and AI inference — workloads where the RTX 5000 Ada Generation's 32 GB of GDDR6 memory and 400 tensor cores provide enormous throughput. The 65.28 TFLOPS FP32 and 65.28 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1) performance means this system can handle double-precision-adjacent workloads and machine learning inference with aplomb.

Content creators working with high-resolution video (8K and beyond) will benefit from the GPU's 576.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 100 RT cores for accelerated ray tracing in effects and compositing. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking is sufficient for managing timelines and encoding, but the GPU is the workhorse. Gamers at 4K resolution will find this system delivers exceptional frame rates — the GPU's 98th percentile position means it outpaces nearly all consumer cards — though the CPU's 78th percentile may limit maximum FPS at lower resolutions.

Software developers compiling large codebases will appreciate the CPU's integer math score of 65,792 and multi-thread score of 20,042, which indicate solid parallel compilation performance. Students and small business workstations would find this system overkill in GPU capability, but the ECC memory support and 45 W CPU TDP make it a stable, power-efficient platform for long-running compute tasks. The build class is desktop, confirming this is a stationary workstation rather than a laptop solution.

# GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation is a workstation GPU built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, featuring the AD102 chip. It operates at a base clock of 1155 MHz and boosts to 2550 MHz, with memory running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The 32 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth — a substantial amount for large datasets and high-resolution textures, though not the widest bus in the professional GPU space. The 100 RT cores and 400 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI workloads, respectively.

The GPU's raw compute numbers are staggering: 12,800 shading units, 400 TMUs, and 176 ROPs. FP32 performance is 65.28 TFLOPS, with FP16 matching at 65.28 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), which is unusual and beneficial for workloads that can leverage mixed precision. The pixel rate of 448.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,020.0 GTexel/s make this one of the fastest rendering GPUs available. The 250 W TDP with a suggested 600 W PSU is reasonable for the performance class, and the dual-slot design with a single 16-pin power connector keeps installation straightforward.

In Geekbench OpenCL, the GPU scores 175,286, and in Vulkan, 194,041. The Vulkan score being higher suggests strong driver optimization for modern graphics APIs. The 98th percentile ranking places it above the A100 SXM4 80 GB, RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, and RTX 4090 D in average benchmark score. For rendering, the 32 GB VRAM is a critical advantage — it allows entire scenes, texture atlases, and AI models to reside in GPU memory without spilling to system RAM, which would incur massive performance penalties. The 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs support multi-display workstation setups, and the API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, ensuring compatibility with the latest software standards.
