The Intel Core i9-13900 paired with the Intel Arc B770 is an all-Intel desktop build that stacks a 92nd-percentile CPU against a GPU sitting squarely at the 50th percentile. That asymmetry is the defining story of this combination. One note before diving in: the database contains no measured FPS rows for this exact pairing — dataIsMeasured is false — so every frame-rate discussion below is framed as an estimate derived from the benchmark scores rather than as measured result. The combined percentile of 71 reflects a machine whose compute side pulls well above the graphics side, and that tension shapes every workload this build can take on.

GPU Analysis

The Arc B770 is a Battlemage-generation part, built on the Xe2-HPG architecture and manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The chip, codenamed BMG-G31, measures 368 mm². On paper the specification list reads like a mainstream GPU with a serious memory subsystem: 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. That is a generous allocation for this tier, and it implies the card should hold texture detail and high-resolution framebuffers without running into memory pressure — a trait that matters when the CPU feeding it is as fast as the i9-13900.

The compute hardware consists of 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, and 128 render output units. Ray tracing is handled by 32 RT cores, and the card targets modern APIs head-on: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6. Raw throughput numbers are respectable rather than spectacular: 19.66 TFLOPS FP32, 39.32 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, a pixel fill rate of 307.2 GPixel/s, and a texture rate of 614.4 GTexel/s. Clocks run from a 2100 MHz base to a 2400 MHz boost, with memory ticking at 2000 MHz — 16 Gbps effective.

Here is the analytical wrinkle: the benchmark database contains no GPU benchmark entries for the B770 — its avgBenchmarkScore is zero and its nearestRivals list is empty. The only positioning signal available is the percentileVsAllGpus figure of 50. In other words, the data places this card at the exact midpoint of the GPU distribution — not a flagship, not an entry-level afterthought. What does that mean for rendering? The 32 RT cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support mean ray-traced pipelines are accessible, and the 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth suggests geometry-heavy scenes will stream well. But without rival scores in the pack, any claim about rendering superiority over named competitors would be speculation. What the data does support: this is a mid-tier GPU with flagship-class memory capacity for its bracket, capable of driving modern rendering workloads at mainstream settings, fed by a CPU that will never leave it waiting for draw calls.

The display side is forward-looking too — 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 — which means high-resolution, high-refresh monitors are fully supported at the output level. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16, which pairs interestingly with the CPU's Gen 5 capability; more on that in the platform section.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU side of the ledger is dense with scores, and they tell a consistent story. In Cinebench R23, the i9-13900 posts 37931 multi-core and 5355 single-core. Rolling back to R20, the figures are 15931 and 2249; in R15, 3823 and 539. Geekbench lands at 21164 multi-core and 2604 single-core. Passmark's multithread score of 45680 is complemented by a single-thread result of 4309, and the subtests fill out the picture: 176107 integer math, 120492 floating point math, 577285 data compression, 35242 data encryption, 32760 extended instructions, 2484 physics, 64396 random string sorting, and 186 on find-prime-numbers.

The aggregate average benchmark score is 60676, which places the chip in the 92nd percentile against all CPUs in the database. The nearestRivals list makes that positioning concrete: the Intel Xeon Gold 6338T averages 60572 — a delta of just 0.2 percent — while the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX (60104) and Ryzen 9 7945HX (60099) sit 1 percent behind, and the Intel Core i9-14900F averages 60008, 1.1 percent adrift. Read that carefully: this desktop i9 is trading blows with a server-class Xeon Gold and two top-tier mobile Ryzen 9 chips, and it edges its own generational successor. That is elite company for a desktop part.

The GPU half is silent — no benchmark entries, no avgBenchmarkScore, no rivals. The combined percentile of 71 therefore leans heavily on the CPU's 92nd-percentile standing, pulled down toward the GPU's 50th. The combined picture: a machine that computes like a high-end workstation and renders like a midrange desktop. For any workload that is CPU-bound, this build behaves like a top-8-percent machine. For GPU-bound workloads, it behaves like the median. Which of those regimes you land in depends entirely on the application, and the sections below map that boundary.

FAQ

Q: Is the CPU fast in single-threaded tasks? A: Yes. The i9-13900 scores 5355 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 2249 in R20, 539 in R15, 2604 in Geekbench single-core, and 4309 in Passmark single-thread — figures consistent with its overall 92nd-percentile standing against all CPUs.

Q: How does the i9-13900 compare to rival CPUs in the database? A: Its average benchmark score of 60676 puts it 0.2 percent ahead of the Intel Xeon Gold 6338T (60572), 1 percent ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX (60104) and Ryzen 9 7945HX (60099), and 1.1 percent ahead of the Intel Core i9-14900F (60008).

Q: How much VRAM does the Arc B770 have, and why does it matter? A: 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus with 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. That capacity is generous for a GPU at the 50th percentile and means modern games and 3D scenes at high texture settings are unlikely to hit a memory wall.

Q: Are there measured FPS figures for this CPU+GPU combination? A: No. The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this pairing — dataIsMeasured is false and the measuredFpsUltraByGame set is empty. All frame-rate discussion here is estimated from benchmark scores.

Q: What memory does the platform support? A: The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, with ECC memory supported. The GPU brings its own 16 GB GDDR6.

Q: What power supply does this build need? A: The GPU's suggested PSU is 550 W. The CPU's TDP is 65 W and the GPU's TDP is 225 W, so a 550 W unit provides headroom above the combined thermal design point of both components.

Q: Is the CPU multiplier unlocked for overclocking? A: No. The multiplierUnlocked field is false, so clock tuning headroom via the multiplier is not available on this part.

Balance and Bottleneck

The percentile data makes the bottleneck analysis unusually clean. With the CPU at the 92nd percentile and the GPU at the 50th, any workload that scales with graphics performance will be GPU-limited, and any workload that scales with CPU throughput will fly. The i9-13900's 45680 Passmark multithread score and 21164 Geekbench multi-core result mean the processor can prepare frames, decompress assets, and run simulation faster than the overwhelming majority of chips in the database — while the Arc B770 sits at the exact median of GPUs.

In gaming terms, that predicts a hard GPU ceiling at higher settings and resolutions: the CPU's single-thread scores (4309 Passmark, 5355 Cinebench R23) are more than sufficient to saturate a 50th-percentile graphics card, so frame rates will track the B770's limits, not the i9's. This is the textbook definition of a GPU-bottlenecked gaming build — and, depending on intent, that is not automatically bad. It means every frame the GPU can produce, the CPU can support; there is no wasted headroom on the processor side going unused in games.

Flip the workload, and the bottleneck inverts. Video encoding, code compilation, compression (577285 in Passmark data compression), encryption (35242), and multi-threaded rendering (37931 in R23 multi-core) will all be CPU-bound, and in those tasks the Arc B770 is simply a display adapter and occasional compute assistant. The FP16 figure of 39.32 TFLOPS on the GPU suggests some acceleration headroom for supported workloads, but with no GPU benchmark entries, the database cannot quantify that contribution. The honest read: this is a deliberately compute-weighted build where the graphics card is the limiting factor in every visually intensive task.

Who Should Build It

Content creators are the clearest fit. A 92nd-percentile CPU with 24 cores and 32 threads, posting 37931 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, chews through timeline exports, batch renders, and asset compilation, and the 16 GB of GPU VRAM gives editing and 3D applications a roomy framebuffer for previews. The ECC memory support adds a reliability angle for small business workstations where data integrity matters.

Software developers benefit similarly: the 21164 Geekbench multi-core score and 24-core design translate into fast parallel builds, container workloads, and smooth multitasking across virtual machines. Students in engineering or media programs get a machine that will not age out quickly on the compute side — a chip that still edges its own successor, the i9-14900F, by 1.1 percent in average score.

Gamers are a more nuanced audience. At the GPU's 50th percentile, expectations should be set at mainstream settings rather than ultra-everything at high resolution, though the 16 GB of VRAM and DisplayPort 2.1 outputs mean the display pipeline is not the constraint. High-refresh, resolution-conscious gamers who prioritize GPU horsepower above all may find the balance inverted from their needs — this is a build that renders like the median and computes like the top 8 percent. Users who game at moderate settings while simultaneously streaming or recording are arguably the best gaming fit, because the CPU's multi-core surplus absorbs the encoding load while the GPU handles the game.

Gaming Performance

To restate clearly, and only once more: this database entry contains no measured FPS figures for the i9-13900 + Arc B770 combination — the measuredFpsUltraByGame set is empty and dataIsMeasured is false. Everything in this section is an estimate framed from benchmark scores, not measurement.

What do the scores imply? The GPU's 50th-percentile position suggests mainstream frame delivery — performance around the median of the GPU distribution, with 19.66 TFLOPS of FP32 shading throughput, 128 ROPs pushing up to 307.2 GPixel/s, and 512.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth to feed it. The 16 GB VRAM buffer implies high texture settings will not cause capacity-related stutter, even where raw shading speed limits the frame rate itself. The 32 RT cores mean ray tracing options are on the table, though a median-positioned card will feel that load more than a flagship would.

The CPU side contributes certainty rather than limits: with 5355 single-core in Cinebench R23 and 4309 in Passmark single-thread, processor-side frame pacing and draw-call throughput should not be the constraint in any title. Estimated, the picture is a build that targets high frame rates at mainstream resolutions and settings, with headroom to raise quality where the game leans on memory capacity rather than pure shader throughput. Any specific numbers-per-title claim would exceed what this FACT PACK supports, so the honest verdict is qualitative: expect the median GPU experience, wrapped in an unusually fast platform.

CPU Analysis

The i9-13900 is a 24-core, 32-thread Raptor Lake processor — codename Raptor Lake-S — built by Intel on its 10 nm process, with a die measuring 257 mm². The hybrid core design is implied by the 24-core/32-thread split. Clocks span a 2000 MHz base to a 5.60 GHz boost, which is elite single-thread territory and shows up directly in the 5355 Cinebench R23 single-core score. The cache hierarchy is deep: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3.

What do the numbers mean for real workloads? The Cinebench progression — 3823 in R15 multi, 15931 in R20 multi, 37931 in R23 multi — confirms sustained all-core throughput that rivals server silicon: the Xeon Gold 6338T comparison (0.2 percent delta) is the most telling data point in the pack. In Geekbench, 21164 multi-core and 2604 single-core indicate strong performance in bursty, mixed application workloads, not just long renders. Passmark's subtests map to concrete tasks: 577285 in data compression suggests fast archive and backup operations; 35242 in encryption points to quick disk and file encryption; 176107 integer math and 120492 floating point math support general application and numerical work; 64396 in string sorting reflects text-processing and database-adjacent speed.

The 65 W TDP figure is the thermal design point listed in the pack; note the multiplier is locked, so the 5.60 GHz boost is the performance ceiling as configured. Memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with ECC, gives the platform unusual flexibility — from cost-conscious reuse of DDR4 kits to error-checked workstation memory. UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics provide a fallback display path if the discrete card is ever absent.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform fundamentals come from the CPU: Intel Socket 1700, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, and DDR4/DDR5 support. There is a generational mismatch worth flagging: the CPU offers Gen 5, while the Arc B770 connects over PCIe 4.0 x16. The card runs at its own interface speed, and the unused Gen 5 headroom remains available for a future GPU that can exploit it — that is the single most sensible next upgrade for this build, given the GPU sits at the 50th percentile while the CPU holds the 92nd.

Power is well-mapped: the CPU's TDP is 65 W and the GPU's is 225 W, against a suggested PSU of 550 W. The B770 needs 1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin power connectors, occupies a dual-slot footprint, and offers 1x HDMI 2.1a plus 3x DisplayPort 2.1 for monitors. A 550 W unit covers the combined design point with margin, so a same-tier GPU swap requires no PSU change. Memory is the other lever: moving to faster DDR5 on the dual-channel bus is a qualitative upgrade path the pack supports without specifying kit speeds. Because the CPU's multiplier is locked, CPU-side tuning is off the table — the upgrade path here is graphics-first, memory-second.

Build Overview

This is a desktop build — buildClass is desktop — pairing a 13th-generation Intel flagship CPU with a Battlemage-generation Intel discrete GPU, an all-blue platform in both branding and, arguably, philosophy. The overall tier, read from the percentiles, is upper-mainstream: a combined percentile of 71, built from a 92nd-percentile CPU and a 50th-percentile GPU. It is a lopsided configuration by design or by accident, and the data cannot say which — but it can say what results. In aggregate terms, this machine ranks above roughly seven in ten systems in the database, dragged upward by compute and held at the middle by graphics. The CPU carries a launch MSRP of $549. As a class statement: workstation-caliber processing, mainstream-caliber rendering, desktop form factor, all-Intel silicon from the 10 nm Raptor Lake die to the TSMC-fabbed 5 nm BMG-G31.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming. With no measured FPS data, estimates rest on the 50th-percentile GPU backed by elite single-thread CPU scores (5355 R23 single-core). Expect mainstream frame rates at moderate settings and resolutions; the CPU will never be the limiter, and the 16 GB VRAM plus DisplayPort 2.1 outputs keep the display path open for high-refresh panels.

Streaming. This is where the build's asymmetry pays off. The 24-core, 32-thread CPU posts 45680 in Passmark multithread and 21164 in Geekbench multi-core, leaving enormous headroom for encoding a stream while a game runs on the GPU. A streamer gaming at settings the B770 can sustain gets broadcast quality essentially free of CPU cost.

Video editing. Multi-core exports scale with the 37931 Cinebench R23 result, rivaling the Xeon Gold 6338T within 0.2 percent. The 16 GB of GPU VRAM holds preview buffers, and 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth keeps playback smooth on layered timelines. DDR5 with ECC support adds workstation-grade stability for long render jobs.

3D rendering. CPU renders exploit all 24 cores; GPU viewport work leans on 19.66 TFLOPS FP32 and 32 RT cores for ray-traced previews. The median GPU percentile tempers expectations for GPU-final renders, but the memory capacity prevents scene-size limits at this tier.

Software development. Compilation is a pure CPU win: 176107 integer math, 577285 data compression, and top-8-percent aggregate standing make builds, tests, and containerized workflows fast. Simultaneous VMs and local servers fit comfortably within 32 threads.

Student and office work. For everything from document workloads to programming coursework, the single-thread scores (4309 Passmark, 2604 Geekbench) guarantee snappy responsiveness, and the platform's memory flexibility — DDR4 or DDR5 — lets a student build or an office procurement scale the configuration to need without changing the processing tier.
