The CPU's 87th percentile ranking indicates it is near the top of the heap for processors, while the GPU's 75th percentile ranking shows it is a solid high-end part, though not the absolute fastest available.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data indicates a notable imbalance between the CPU and GPU, with the CPU at the 87th percentile and the GPU at the 75th percentile. The CPU is clearly the stronger component in relative terms, which means it is likely to be the limiting factor in many scenarios, but not in the way one might expect. In CPU-bound workloads, such as video encoding or software compilation, the GPU will be underutilized, and the CPU's performance will dictate the overall throughput. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20,034 is a strong indicator that the CPU can handle heavy multi-threaded tasks, but the GPU's 8,279 PassMark compute score suggests it may not be able to keep up with the CPU in compute-heavy applications that can use both.

However, the CPU's single-thread score of 3,703 is strong, so it should be able to feed the GPU effectively at 1080p. The FPS scaling evidence from the benchmark scores suggests that at 1080p, the CPU can push enough frames to keep the GPU busy, but at 4K, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus may become the constraint. The data shows the CPU is 12 percentage points higher in its percentile ranking than the GPU, which is a significant gap. This means that for maximum efficiency, users should focus on workloads that utilize both components, such as gaming with ray tracing enabled, which uses the CPU for game logic and the GPU for rendering and RT calculations.
