The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V and AMD Radeon 8050S combination is a laptop-class pairing built around Intel’s Lunar Lake architecture and AMD’s RDNA 3.5 Strix Halo integrated GPU. The fact pack contains no measured FPS rows for this exact combination, so all FPS discussion in this document is estimated from benchmark scores rather than game-by-game captures. The pair sits at the 82nd combined percentile, with the CPU at the 75th percentile and the GPU at the 89th percentile.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V is an 8-core, 8-thread processor in the Core Ultra Series 2 family. Its base clock is 2.10 GHz and its boost clock is 4.50 GHz, with a TDP of only 17 W. The architecture is Lunar Lake, manufactured on a 3 nm TSMC process, and the socket is Intel BGA 2833, a mobile package. The cache layout is 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The CPU is listed as having dual-channel memory support and PCIe Gen 5 with 4 lanes from the CPU itself.

The benchmark data shows a processor with strong single-thread behavior and moderate multithread throughput. In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 9932 in multicore and 1758 in single-core. The single-core result is high enough to suggest responsive application behavior, while the multicore score reflects the fact that the chip has 8 threads rather than a higher thread count. The Cinebench R20 results follow the same pattern: 6491 multicore and 916 single-core. In Cinebench R15, the scores are 1502.5 multicore and 267 single-core.

PassMark results reinforce this profile. The CPU scores 18227 in multithread, 3836 in single-thread, 53310 in floating point math, 39679 in integer math, 173924 in data compression, 13032 in data encryption, 14801 in extended instructions, 21254 in random string sorting, 1538 in physics, and 168 in find prime numbers. These numbers describe a chip that can handle everyday productivity, development workloads, and light multithreaded tasks efficiently, but its performance ceiling in heavily parallel work is defined by 8 cores and 8 threads.

The average benchmark score for the CPU is 21440, placing it at the 75th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The nearest rivals show how tight this performance band is. The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V is 0.2% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i9-11900H, 0.9% behind the Intel Xeon D-1746TER, and 1.0% ahead of the AMD EPYC 9454. This is a meaningful result: a low-power mobile CPU with an 8-thread design lands in the same aggregate performance band as several very different desktop, mobile, and server processors.

Benchmark Performance

For the CPU, the exact benchmark results are:

Cinebench R15 multicore: 1502.5
Cinebench R15 single-core: 267
Cinebench R20 multicore: 6491
Cinebench R20 single-core: 916
Cinebench R23 multicore: 9932
Cinebench R23 single-core: 1758
PassMark data compression: 173924
PassMark data encryption: 13032
PassMark extended instructions: 14801
PassMark find prime numbers: 168
PassMark floating point math: 53310
PassMark integer math: 39679
PassMark multithread: 18227
PassMark physics: 1538
PassMark random string sorting: 21254
PassMark single-thread: 3836
CPU average benchmark score: 21440

For the GPU, the exact benchmark results are:

Geekbench OpenCL: 65818
Geekbench Vulkan: 58398
GPU average benchmark score: 62108

The CPU’s 75th percentile places it above three-quarters of all CPUs in the database. The GPU’s 89th percentile places it near the top of the GPU database. The combined percentile is 82, which sits between the two individual values and reflects the fact that this pairing has a stronger GPU relative to the CPU in aggregate performance terms. The CPU’s nearest rival data shows that its average score is essentially interchangeable with the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and Intel Core i9-11900H, while the GPU’s nearest rival data places it close to several dedicated and professional mobile GPUs.

GPU Analysis

The AMD Radeon 8050S is based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture and the Strix Halo chip, manufactured on a 4 nm TSMC process with a die size of 308 mm². It is part of the Navi Mobile RX 8000M generation and has a production status of Active. The GPU base clock is 1295 MHz and the boost clock is 2800 MHz. The memory configuration is entirely system shared: memory size, type, and bus width are all listed as System Shared, and memory bandwidth is System Dependent. This means the GPU has no dedicated VRAM pool and shares the platform memory subsystem.

The shader configuration consists of 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. The GPU also includes 32 ray tracing cores. No tensor core count is listed. The pixel rate is 179.2 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 358.4 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 11.47 TFLOPS, and FP16 compute is also 11.47 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The GPU TDP is 55 W, it occupies one IGP slot, uses no power connectors, and has no suggested PSU in the database. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate at feature level 12_2, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Benchmark results indicate a GPU that is strong for an integrated solution. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 65818 and Vulkan score of 58398 place the GPU at the 89th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 62108 is 0.3% above the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M, 2.5% below the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56, 2.6% below the AMD Radeon RX 7600M, and 2.7% below the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP. In practical rendering terms, the 1:1 FP16 rate and 32 ray tracing cores make this GPU useful for compute and ray-traced effects, but the system-shared memory model means performance will depend heavily on platform memory bandwidth and capacity.

A: The CPU is at the 75th percentile, the GPU is at the 89th percentile, and the combined percentile is 82.

Q: Is this pairing a desktop or laptop configuration?

A: It is laptop-class. The build class is laptop, the CPU socket is Intel BGA 2833, and the GPU is an IGP with no power connectors.

Q: Is there measured FPS data for this exact combination?

A: No. The fact pack contains no measured FPS rows for this combination, and dataIsMeasured is false, so FPS figures can only be estimated from the benchmark scores.

Balance and Bottleneck

The database contains no measured FPS scaling data for this combination, and the pairRankByFps field is null. Bottleneck analysis must therefore rely on percentiles and benchmark scores. The CPU sits at the 75th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 89th percentile of all GPUs. Because the GPU is in a higher global percentile, the CPU is the lower-ranked component in this pairing. In workloads that are primarily CPU-bound, such as certain simulation, threading, and physics tasks, the CPU’s 8-thread limit and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 9932 are likely to set the ceiling.

In GPU-bound workloads, the situation is different. The Radeon 8050S has an average benchmark score of 62108, as well as 11.47 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and a pixel rate of 179.2 GPixel/s. That compute and fill capability can outrun the CPU’s multithread throughput in many scenarios. However, the GPU’s memory is system shared, so both the CPU and GPU compete for the same memory subsystem. The CPU memory bus is dual-channel, but memory bandwidth is not listed, and memory support is listed as unknown and dependent on the motherboard. This makes memory bandwidth a potential shared bottleneck for both components.

The TDP figures also indicate where the power budget sits. The CPU has a 17 W TDP, while the GPU has a 55 W TDP. The GPU is allocated more power, consistent with its higher percentile rank. In light workloads where frame generation depends more on CPU single-core speed, the CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1758 and PassMark single-thread score of 3836 are the relevant data. In more graphically demanding workloads, the GPU’s 89th percentile and OpenCL score of 65818 become the dominant factor. Without FPS scaling data, exact bottleneck points cannot be quantified, but the available percentiles and scores point to the CPU as the lower-ranked component in aggregate.

Who Should Build It

This pairing is appropriate for users who need a laptop-class system with a strong integrated GPU and a power-efficient CPU. The GPU’s 89th percentile and Vulkan score of 58398 make it suitable for gamers whose target settings fall inside the performance envelope of an integrated GPU near the top of the database. Specific resolutions are not stated in the fact pack, but the GPU’s aggregate score of 62108 places it in the same band as several dedicated mobile GPUs, including the AMD Radeon RX 7600M and AMD Radeon Pro W6600M.

Content creators working with GPU-accelerated workflows can draw on the Radeon 8050S’s 11.47 TFLOPS FP32 compute, its 1:1 FP16 rate, and its 32 ray tracing cores. Developers benefit from the CPU’s single-thread performance of 3836 in PassMark and 1758 in Cinebench R23, as well as its integer math score of 39679 and data compression score of 173924. Students and small business users fit the power profile well: the CPU TDP is 17 W, the GPU TDP is 55 W, and the GPU is an IGP with no power connectors. The CPU at the 75th percentile is also strong enough for everyday office workloads, while the GPU at the 89th percentile gives the pairing more graphics capability than most integrated solutions.

Gaming Performance

The fact pack contains no measured FPS rows for this exact combination, so all FPS expectations here are estimates derived from benchmark scores. The Radeon 8050S’s Geekbench Vulkan score is 58398, its OpenCL score is 65818, and its average GPU score is 62108. At the 89th percentile, the GPU is positioned near the top of the GPU database. Its aggregate score is within 2.6% of the AMD Radeon RX 7600M and within 0.3% of the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M. This suggests that frame rates in GPU-heavy scenarios should fall in a similar performance band to those GPUs, but exact game-by-game frame rates cannot be stated without measured data.

The CPU’s strong single-core score of 3836 in PassMark and 1758 in Cinebench R23 should help maintain frame pacing in less GPU-intensive titles. The GPU’s 32 ray tracing cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support indicate that modern rendering features are available, though system-shared memory bandwidth may affect how well those features perform. Overall, the gaming picture is that of a capable integrated GPU paired with a moderate mobile CPU, with final frame rates depending on the game, API, resolution, and platform memory characteristics.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU is built on the Intel BGA 2833 socket, which is a mobile package. The GPU is an integrated part with slot width IGP and no power connectors. This means there is no discrete GPU upgrade path within the same platform. The CPU memory support is listed as unknown and dependent on the motherboard, though the memory bus is dual-channel. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 4 lanes from the CPU, while the GPU bus interface is listed as PCIe 5.0 x16.

No suggested PSU is listed for this pairing, so PSU headroom cannot be quantified from the data. The available power figures are a 17 W CPU TDP and a 55 W GPU TDP. The GPU uses no power connectors, so external PSU demands from the GPU are minimal. Because the CPU is BGA-mounted and the GPU is integrated, a sensible next step for more performance would be a different platform rather than a component-level upgrade. The data does not list a successor for this pair, and no pairRankByFps value exists to compare against other pairings.

Build Overview

This pairing consists of the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V, a Lunar Lake mobile CPU, and the AMD Radeon 8050S, a Strix Halo integrated GPU based on RDNA 3.5. The build class is laptop. The CPU is at the 75th percentile of all CPUs, the GPU at the 89th percentile of all GPUs, and the combined percentile is 82. This places the overall configuration above most laptop pairings in the database, with the GPU contributing the larger share of the combined ranking. The GPU is an IGP with system-shared memory, so the platform relies on shared system memory for graphics rather than dedicated VRAM.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The GPU’s 89th percentile and Vulkan score of 58398 indicate strong graphics throughput for an integrated part, and the CPU’s single-core score of 3836 should support responsive gameplay in less GPU-heavy titles. Frame rates are estimates because no measured FPS data exists.

Video editing: The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 9932 and the GPU’s OpenCL score of 65818 both contribute to timeline rendering and effects work, though system-shared memory bandwidth will be a factor in how large projects perform.

3D rendering: The GPU’s 11.47 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 1:1 FP16 rate support compute-heavy rendering tasks, and the 32 ray tracing cores provide hardware acceleration for ray-traced workloads. The CPU’s 8-thread multicore score of 9932 is modest but usable.

Software development: The CPU’s PassMark single-thread score of 3836, integer math score of 39679, and data compression score of 173924 indicate strong per-core performance for compilation, scripting, and data-heavy development work.

Student and office work: The low TDP figures of 17 W for the CPU and 55 W for the GPU, combined with the integrated GPU and laptop-class form factor, make this pairing suitable for portable everyday use. The CPU’s 75th percentile and the GPU’s 89th percentile provide more graphics capability than typical office requirements, so the system can double as a light workstation.
