# Intel Core i9-13900T + Intel Arc A770: A High-Performance Desktop Pairing with a 91st-Percentile Combined Score

This desktop build pairs Intel's 24-core Core i9-13900T with Intel's Arc A770, a combination that achieves a 91st-percentile combined performance ranking across all CPU-GPU pairings. The CPU scores 92nd percentile among all processors, while the GPU sits at 90th percentile among all graphics cards, making this a top-tier system for demanding workloads. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination in the database, so all gaming performance figures discussed here are estimates derived from the component benchmark scores rather than direct gameplay measurements.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i9-13900T is a Raptor Lake-S architecture processor built on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm². It features 24 cores and 32 threads, a configuration that combines performance and efficiency cores for a balanced workload distribution. The base clock runs at 1100.00 MHz, but the boost clock reaches 5.30 GHz, providing substantial single-thread headroom when workloads demand it. The TDP is rated at 35 watts, a notably low figure for a 24-core processor, which enables sustained operation in thermally constrained environments while still delivering high burst performance.

The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. This generous cache allocation, particularly the large L3 pool, helps reduce memory latency and improves performance in cache-sensitive applications like database queries and compiled code execution. The processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus, giving builders flexibility in platform selection. ECC memory support is present, which appeals to workstation users requiring data integrity. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 connectivity with 20 lanes from the processor itself, enabling fast NVMe storage and modern GPU interconnect. Integrated UHD Graphics 770 is included, providing a fallback display output and hardware video encoding capabilities even without a discrete GPU.

Benchmark results show a processor that excels across both single-threaded and heavily threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 36517 demonstrates exceptional parallel processing capability, while the single-core score of 5155 indicates strong per-thread performance. The average benchmark score of 61723 places this CPU at the 92nd percentile among all processors, meaning it outperforms roughly 92% of CPUs in the database. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-13900K, scores 61766, a delta of only -0.1%, showing the 13900T is statistically indistinguishable from the flagship K-series part in overall benchmark terms. The Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus and Core i9-13900KF both sit at -0.2% delta, while the Intel Xeon 636 trails by 0.6%, meaning the 13900T actually leads that server-class chip.

PassMark results reinforce this picture. Multi-thread performance scores 43036, while single-thread performance hits 4177. Data compression scores 538254, data encryption reaches 34415, and extended instructions score 29719. Floating-point math completes at 108779, integer math at 157324, and find prime numbers at 175. Random string sorting scores 63358, and physics simulation completes at 2497. These figures indicate a processor that handles arithmetic-heavy workloads, encryption, compression, and simulation tasks with equal aplomb.

Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this CPU-GPU combination, so all gaming performance figures presented here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores of both components. The dataIsMeasured field is false, confirming that no direct gameplay measurements exist in the database for this pairing.

Based on the CPU's 92nd-percentile rank and the GPU's 90th-percentile rank, this system should handle modern games at high settings across common resolutions. The Arc A770's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory with 512.0 GB/s bandwidth provides ample capacity for high-resolution textures and large game worlds. The GPU's 19.66 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 32 ray tracing cores suggest strong rasterization and credible ray-traced performance, though ray tracing demands will vary by title.

The CPU's high single-thread score of 5155 in Cinebench R23 and PassMark single-thread score of 4177 indicate strong frame pacing in CPU-bound scenarios. The 24-core, 32-thread configuration ensures that background tasks, streaming overlays, and game logic threads all receive dedicated processing resources without competing for the same cores. The 5.30 GHz boost clock provides the per-core speed needed for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, where CPU performance often becomes the limiting factor.

At 4K resolution, the GPU becomes the primary determinant of frame rates. The Arc A770's 90th-percentile GPU rank suggests it can deliver playable frame rates in most titles, though the most demanding games may require settings adjustments to maintain smooth performance. The 16 GB VRAM buffer provides headroom for texture quality at 4K, and the 512.0 GB/s bandwidth supports high-resolution asset streaming. Overall, the estimated gaming experience is a system capable of high-refresh 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K gaming feasible at adjusted settings.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's average benchmark score of 61723 places it at the 92nd percentile among all CPUs. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-13900K, averages 61766, a difference of only -0.1%, making the 13900T effectively tied with Intel's flagship unlocked processor in aggregate performance. The Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus scores 61834 (-0.2%), the Core i9-13900KF scores 61841 (-0.2%), and the Intel Xeon 636 scores 61360 (+0.6%), meaning the 13900T leads that Xeon part by 0.6%.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 68809 places it at the 90th percentile among all GPUs. The NVIDIA CMP 90HX averages 69000, a delta of -0.3%, while the AMD Radeon Instinct MI25 scores 68562 (+0.4%), showing the Arc A770 trails that part by 0.4%. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 scores 69870 (-1.5%), and the NVIDIA Quadro P6000 scores 69986 (-1.7%), indicating the Arc A770 trails both by 1.5% and 1.7% respectively. These narrow margins place the Arc A770 in a competitive band with professional and mining-class GPUs.

Specific GPU benchmark scores include a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2969, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 109175, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 94284. The Vulkan score trailing OpenCL by roughly 14% suggests some optimization gaps in the Vulkan driver path, though both figures are strong. The CPU scores across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 show consistent scaling: R15 multi-core scores 3680 and single-core 519, R20 multi-core scores 15337 and single-core 2165, and R23 multi-core scores 36517 and single-core 5155. The combined picture is a system where both components sit near the top of their respective performance distributions, with the CPU at 92nd percentile and GPU at 90th percentile, yielding a 91st-percentile combined system rank.
