# Intel Core i9-13900F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti: Desktop Benchmark Analysis

This pairing combines Intel's 13th-generation flagship desktop CPU with NVIDIA's top-end Ampere GPU, creating a high-performance desktop build that sits at the 93rd percentile overall among all CPU+GPU combinations. The Core i9-13900F delivers strong multi-threaded performance with its 24 cores and 32 threads, while the RTX 3090 Ti provides substantial graphics horsepower with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 40.00 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The data shows a system designed for demanding workloads across both productivity and gaming scenarios, though the lack of measured FPS data for this exact combination means gaming expectations must be inferred from the benchmark scores.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core i9-13900F uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform with the Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process node. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus, with ECC memory support available. This platform flexibility allows builders to choose between cost-effective DDR4 or higher-bandwidth DDR5 depending on their needs and motherboard selection. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU, ensuring compatibility with the latest storage and expansion cards, while the RTX 3090 Ti uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface that is fully backward compatible.

The CPU has a TDP of 65 W, which is remarkably modest for a 24-core processor, though the boost clock of 5.60 GHz suggests the chip will draw more power under load. The RTX 3090 Ti, by contrast, has a TDP of 450 W and requires a suggested PSU of 850 W, making power supply selection critical for this build. The GPU uses a single 16-pin power connector and is a triple-slot card measuring 336 mm in length, so case compatibility and airflow must be considered carefully. The data shows a system that demands robust cooling and power delivery, even if the CPU's rated TDP appears conservative.

For a sensible next upgrade, the platform supports the full Core 13th Gen lineup on Socket 1700, so users could theoretically move to a K-series or KS-series chip if they need unlocked multipliers for overclocking, though the current i9-13900F already represents the top of the mainstream stack. The GPU, however, is end-of-life with the GeForce 40 series as its successor, meaning future upgrades would involve a full GPU replacement rather than a drop-in swap. The PCIe 4.0 x16 interface on the GPU is not a bottleneck today, but future GPUs may benefit from PCIe 5.0 support that this platform provides on the CPU side.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU achieves an average benchmark score of 51,730, placing it in the 91st percentile among all CPUs. This puts it nearly at parity with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, which scores 51,947 and is only 0.4% ahead, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX, which scores 52,073 and is 0.7% ahead. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285T trails by 0.8% with a score of 51,310, while the AMD EPYC 8124P matches within 0.7%. These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating that the i9-13900F sits right at the top tier of CPU performance, trading blows with both AMD's previous-generation flagship and Intel's newer low-power offerings.

The GPU achieves an average benchmark score of 131,938, placing it in the 95th percentile among all GPUs. Its closest rival is the NVIDIA L4 with a score of 131,072, which is 0.7% behind, while the NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation scores 135,218 and is 2.4% ahead. The AMD Radeon PRO W6800 scores 135,396 and is 2.6% ahead, and the NVIDIA A10M also scores 135,230, matching the RTX 4000 Ada within 0.1%. The RTX 3090 Ti sits just below these workstation-class cards, but the narrow margins show it remains competitive with much newer professional GPUs.

In specific CPU benchmarks, the i9-13900F shows strong scaling across thread counts. The 3DMark multi-threaded score of 13,985 at max threads drops to 9,957 at 16 threads, 7,426 at 8 threads, 4,393 at 4 threads, and 2,265 at 2 threads, with a single-thread score of 1,145. The Cinebench scores reinforce this pattern, with R23 multi-core at 40,928 and single-core at 5,778. Geekbench shows 19,680 multi-core and 2,533 single-core, while PassMark multi-thread hits 49,693 with single-thread at 4,406. The combination of the 91st percentile CPU and 95th percentile GPU produces a 93rd percentile overall system, indicating balanced high-end performance.

The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and a 36 MB shared L3 cache, which supports the high multi-threaded throughput seen in benchmarks.

The CPU was released on 2023-01-03 with a launch MSRP of $524 and remains in active production. The multiplier is locked, so overclocking is not supported, but the high boost clock already delivers near-flagship single-thread performance. The 3DMark single-thread score of 1,145 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5,778 place it among the fastest consumer CPUs for single-threaded tasks, while the PassMark single-thread score of 4,406 confirms this strength. The data shows a processor that excels in both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded workloads.

In multi-threaded scenarios, the PassMark multi-thread score of 49,693 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 40,928 demonstrate exceptional parallel performance. The Geekbench multi-core score of 19,680 and 3DMark max-threads score of 13,985 reinforce this picture. The processor also shows strong performance in specialized workloads, with PassMark data compression at 635,147, integer math at 188,022, and floating-point math at 131,007. The 36 MB shared L3 cache helps keep data close to the cores, reducing memory latency in cache-sensitive applications. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving builders flexibility, though the memory bandwidth figures are not specified in the data.
