# CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i9-13900F is a 24-core, 32-thread Raptor Lake-S desktop processor built on Intel's 10nm process node. It belongs to the 13th Gen Core series, with a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. The chip draws a 65W TDP, which is notably conservative for a 24-core part, making it suitable for systems where thermal headroom is a concern. It uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, along with ECC memory for workstation reliability. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the processor itself, giving fast access to modern storage and expansion cards.

The cache hierarchy is substantial: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. This deep cache structure helps with workloads that exhibit data reuse, such as database queries and compilation tasks. The processor is fabricated on a 257 mm² die, and it remains in active production. The multiplier is locked, meaning overclocking is not possible through the usual multiplier adjustment route, so performance is as-shipped. The launch MSRP is $524.

Benchmark results place this CPU in the 91st percentile among all CPUs tested, meaning it outperforms roughly nine out of ten processors in the database. The average benchmark score is 51730, which puts it in a tight cluster with several rivals. It trails the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X by just 0.4%, and it is 0.7% behind both the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX and the AMD EPYC 8124P. Against the Intel Core Ultra 9 285T, it is 0.8% ahead. These deltaPct values are small, indicating that the i9-13900F sits at the top of a performance plateau where moving between chips yields marginal differences.

Looking at specific workloads, the 3DMark multi-threaded score of 13985 at max threads shows strong scaling from the 16-thread score of 9957, but the single-thread score of 1145 reveals the architectural limits. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 40928 is a strong result for rendering tasks, while the single-core score of 5778 indicates that lightly-threaded applications will still perform well, though not at the very top tier. Geekbench multicore of 19680 and singlecore of 2533 corroborate the pattern: the chip is a multi-threaded powerhouse with respectable single-thread capability.

PassMark results show specific strengths: data compression at 635147, floating point math at 131007, integer math at 188022, and random string sorting at 70441. These numbers point to a CPU that handles encryption, sorting, and compute-heavy scientific tasks with ease. The extended instructions score of 36525 suggests that AVX and similar workload classes are well supported. For real-world use, this means video encoding, 3D rendering, and software compilation will see near-top-tier performance, while everyday office tasks will feel responsive but not uniquely fast compared to cheaper parts.

# GPU Analysis

The Intel Arc A750 is a desktop GPU based on the Xe-HPG architecture, specifically the DG2-512 chip. It is fabricated on a 6nm process at TSMC, with 21,700 million transistors on a 406 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 53.4M per mm². The GPU clocks at 2050 MHz base and 2400 MHz boost, with memory running at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). It has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s — a solid figure for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The shader configuration includes 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units. The pixel rate is 268.8 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 537.6 GTexel/s. For compute, the card delivers 17.20 TFLOPS in FP32 and 34.41 TFLOPS in FP16 (2:1 ratio). There are 28 ray tracing cores, though no tensor cores are listed, which means AI-accelerated features may rely on alternative paths. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, making it compatible with modern game APIs and rendering pipelines.

The board has a 225W TDP and requires a 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin power connector, with a suggested PSU of 550W. It is a dual-slot card with PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. Display outputs include 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 2.0, which is a forward-looking set for high-refresh monitors. The GPU is marked as end-of-life, with Battlemage as its successor, and the launch MSRP was 289 USD.

Benchmark performance places the A750 at the 66th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20582. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Arc B570 (0.1% ahead), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (0.2% ahead), AMD Radeon R9 M390X (0.4% behind), and NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (0.5% behind). The deltaPct values are small, so the A750 sits in a competitive band where small architectural differences matter more than raw score gaps.

In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the score is 2612, which is a modern DirectX 12 test and gives an indication of current-gen gaming performance. Geekbench OpenCL score of 98554 and Vulkan score of 85631 show that the GPU is capable in compute and low-level graphics APIs. PassMark results are mixed: DirectX 10 at 65, DirectX 11 at 72, DirectX 12 at 70, and DirectX 9 at 181. These older API scores are lower, suggesting that the A750 is optimized for newer APIs. The G2D score of 732 and G3D score of 12534 reflect 2D and 3D workloads, while GPU compute at 5368 indicates that compute-heavy tasks are not the primary strength. For rendering, the 8 GB VRAM and 512 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1080p and 1440p textures, but the lack of tensor cores means some AI-driven features may be limited.

# Benchmark Performance

The combined picture from CPU and GPU benchmarks shows a desktop system with a strong processor and a mid-range graphics card. The CPU sits at the 91st percentile, while the GPU sits at the 66th percentile, and the combined percentile is 79. This means the system overall outperforms about four out of five similar builds, but the GPU is the weaker link in the pairing.

Exact CPU scores include a 3DMark max threads score of 13985, Cinebench R23 multicore of 40928, and Geekbench multicore of 19680. The single-thread scores are 1145 in 3DMark, 5778 in Cinebench R23, and 2533 in Geekbench. PassMark multithread score is 49693, with single-thread at 4406. These numbers indicate a CPU that is excellent for heavily threaded workloads like rendering and encoding, while still being competent for everyday tasks.

Exact GPU scores include a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2612, Geekbench OpenCL of 98554, and Geekbench Vulkan of 85631. PassMark G3D score is 12534, and GPU compute is 5368. The GPU is competitive with the RTX 3070 Mobile and the Arc B570, as shown by the deltaPct values of 0.2% and 0.1% respectively. However, it is 0.4% behind the Radeon R9 M390X, which is an older part, suggesting that the A750's performance is not always consistent across different tests.

The combined picture is one of imbalance: the CPU is a top-tier part that will not bottleneck most workloads, while the GPU is a capable mid-range card that will limit frame rates in demanding games. For productivity tasks that rely on the CPU, the system is a high performer. For gaming, the GPU determines the experience, and the CPU is effectively overkill for most titles.

# Gaming Performance

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination of Intel Core i9-13900F and Intel Arc A750. The FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data, so all FPS figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores, not from actual game testing.

Based on the CPU's strong single-thread and multi-thread scores, and the GPU's mid-range position, the system is expected to handle 1080p gaming well, with playable frame rates in most titles at high settings. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2612 suggests it can handle modern DX12 games, but the PassMark DirectX 11 score of 72 and DirectX 12 score of 70 indicate that performance may vary by API. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p, but at 1440p ultra settings, some games may exceed this capacity, leading to texture streaming or lower frame rates.

At 1440p, the GPU is likely to be the limiting factor, with frame rates dropping below 60 FPS in demanding titles. The CPU's high single-thread score of 5778 in Cinebench R23 means it can feed the GPU efficiently, but the GPU's 17.20 TFLOPS FP32 compute is modest compared to higher-tier cards. For esports titles, the system should deliver high frame rates at 1080p, but for AAA games, expect medium settings to maintain smooth performance. Since the data is not measured, these are estimates and should be treated as directional rather than exact.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a clear imbalance between the CPU and GPU. The CPU is at the 91st percentile, while the GPU is at the 66th percentile. In gaming workloads, the GPU is the bottleneck, as it cannot keep up with the CPU's ability to process game logic and physics. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 40928 is far higher than what any game can utilize, so in game scenes, the GPU will be at full utilization while the CPU remains underutilized.

In productivity workloads, the CPU is the primary driver, and the GPU plays a supporting role. For video editing, the CPU's 3DMark max threads score of 13985 and PassMark multithread score of 49693 will handle rendering timelines, while the GPU accelerates effects and previews. The GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 512 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1080p video work, but 4K timelines may strain the memory capacity.

The deltaPct values for the CPU versus its rivals are all within 0.8%, meaning the CPU is not meaningfully faster or slower than its closest competitors. The GPU's deltaPct values are also small, so it is not far ahead or behind its peers. The bottleneck is structural: a top-tier CPU paired with a mid-range GPU means the GPU will limit gaming performance, while the CPU will excel in compute-heavy tasks.

# Who Should Build It

This build targets users who need a powerful CPU for productivity but do not require a top-tier GPU. Gamers at 1080p will find this system capable, as the GPU is positioned at the 66th percentile, which is sufficient for high refresh rates in many titles, though not at maximum settings. Content creators who work with 3D rendering or video encoding will benefit from the CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 40928, which is in the top 10% of all CPUs.

Software developers compiling large codebases will appreciate the CPU's PassMark data compression score of 635147 and integer math score of 188022, which speed up build times. Students and small business workstations that run office applications, web browsing, and light photo editing will find the system more than adequate, though the GPU is overkill for such tasks. The 65W TDP of the CPU also makes it suitable for systems where power consumption is a concern, such as small offices with multiple machines.

The GPU's end-of-life status means it is a legacy part, so builders should consider future driver support. However, the current benchmark scores show it is competitive with the RTX 3070 Mobile, so it is not obsolete. For users who game at 1080p and do occasional productivity work, this build is a sensible choice. For those who need 1440p gaming at high settings, the GPU will be the limiting factor, and a stronger GPU would be a better pairing.
