Benchmark Performance

The benchmark data reveals a system with asymmetric capabilities. The CPU is a strong performer, achieving an 84th percentile ranking, while the GPU is more modest, sitting at the 61st percentile. This creates a combined percentile of 73. The processor's average score of 34485 is nearly identical to its closest rival, the Intel Core i7-13700HX, which scores 34554, resulting in a negligible delta of -0.2%. Conversely, it is 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i5-13450HX and 0.8% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350.

The GPU tells a different story. Its average score of 17588 places it in a tight cluster of competitors, including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (17639, delta -0.3%) and the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (17666, delta -0.4%). These deltas are within a fraction of a percent, suggesting that in synthetic benchmarks, the 780M is a performance peer to these older desktop cards. The combined picture is one of a processor that can feed demanding tasks without being a bottleneck, paired with a graphics solution that is capable but not high-end. For gaming, this means the GPU is likely the primary constraint on frame rates, a hypothesis explored further in the Gaming Performance section.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is a 16-core, 16-thread processor based on the Panther Lake architecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process by Intel. Its base clock of 1.90 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz allow it to scale from low-power efficiency to higher performance when needed. The cache hierarchy includes 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 18 MB L3 cache.

In multi-threaded workloads, the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23991 indicates strong parallel processing capability. This is corroborated by a Passmark multithread score of 28545 and a floating-point math score of 82415. These numbers suggest the chip can handle demanding productivity tasks like video encoding or 3D rendering efficiently. The single-thread performance is also robust, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3387 and a Passmark single-thread score of 4013. This ensures snappy responsiveness in everyday applications and good performance in lightly-threaded workloads.

The data shows a processor that competes directly with the Intel Core i7-13700HX, trailing by only 0.2% in average score. It also leads the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, a desktop processor, by 0.7%. This indicates that the 336H is a high-end mobile CPU that can deliver desktop-class multi-core performance in a 25 W TDP envelope. The memory support for DDR5 and LPDDR5X, combined with a dual-channel bus and 115.2 GB/s bandwidth, provides ample data throughput for both CPU and GPU operations, as the GPU uses system memory.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact combination. The FACT PACK contains no measuredFpsUltraByGame entries, and the `dataIsMeasured` field is false. Therefore, all frame rate discussions are estimates based on the benchmark scores.

The Radeon 780M's 61st percentile ranking and its proximity to the desktop Radeon HD 7790 in synthetic tests suggest it is capable of 1080p gaming at medium to high settings in many titles, but it will struggle with ultra settings in demanding AAA games. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 480 is a moderate result, indicating that while the GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate features, its raw throughput is limited. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 18602 and Vulkan score of 33683 reinforce this picture of a capable but not flagship-level IGP.

Given the CPU's high performance, it is unlikely to be the limiting factor in games. For a user targeting 1080p high-refresh-rate gaming, the 780M would likely deliver frame rates well below the 144 Hz mark in modern titles, perhaps struggling to maintain 60 FPS on ultra settings. Lowering settings to high or medium would be necessary for smoother gameplay. The 8.909 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is respectable for an integrated solution, but it is about half of what a dedicated mid-range GPU would offer, making 1440p gaming on ultra settings largely unrealistic. The estimate is that this system is best suited for 1080p gaming with adjusted settings, or for esports titles that are less demanding.

Balance and Bottleneck

The performance data clearly indicates a CPU-heavy system. The CPU's 84th percentile is significantly higher than the GPU's 61st percentile, creating a bottleneck in graphics-intensive tasks. In gaming, the Radeon 780M will be the limiting component, as its peak throughput is far below what the CPU can feed it. This is evidenced by the GPU's low 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 480, which is a measure of DX12 gaming performance, versus the CPU's strong Cinebench scores.

In contrast, for CPU-bound workloads like software compilation, data compression (Passmark score of 280340), or encryption (Passmark score of 21291), the processor will be the primary driver, and the GPU will have little impact. The system is balanced for productivity, where the CPU is the star, but unbalanced for gaming, where the GPU holds back the overall experience. The FPS scaling, had it been measured, would likely show diminishing returns when lowering resolution, as the GPU would remain the bottleneck until settings are reduced drastically. The combined percentile of 73 reflects this imbalance, being pulled down by the GPU's lower standing.

Who Should Build It

This configuration is ideal for users who prioritize CPU performance for professional or creative tasks but do not require high-end discrete graphics. Content creators working with 4K video editing or complex 3D modeling would benefit from the CPU's 23991 Cinebench R23 multicore score, which enables faster rendering times. Software developers compiling large codebases would see significant throughput from the 16 cores and the high Passmark integer math score of 62070. Students and professionals in engineering or data science fields who run simulations or heavy data analysis would also find the CPU's 84th percentile ranking sufficient for their needs.

For gamers, this system targets those playing at 1080p with moderate settings, or those focused on less demanding competitive titles. The 61st percentile GPU is not suited for 4K gaming or high-refresh-rate ultra settings. The build is less appropriate for small business workstations that are purely office-focused, as the powerful CPU is overkill for basic tasks, though it would handle complex spreadsheets and databases with ease. The primary target is a mobile professional who needs a high-performance CPU and can accept the integrated GPU's limits for occasional gaming.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is a mobile processor using the Intel BGA 2540 socket, which is a soldered platform. This means the CPU is not upgradeable in the traditional sense; a user would need to replace the entire laptop to get a newer processor. The memory support for DDR5 and LPDDR5X is current, but the specific modules are also likely soldered or limited by the laptop's design.

The platform supports PCIe Gen 5 with 12 lanes from the CPU, offering high bandwidth for future NVMe storage devices. The GPU uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, which is adequate for its performance class. For storage, a Gen 5 NVMe drive would be the most sensible upgrade to improve load times and data transfer speeds. The CPU's TDP of 25 W and the GPU's TDP of 15 W suggest a low total system power draw. While a suggested PSU is not listed, the combined 40 W TDP for the main components implies that a standard laptop power adapter is sufficient, and there is no headroom for adding a discrete GPU. The next sensible upgrade would be a new laptop with a stronger GPU, as the CPU platform is a dead end for graphics improvements.

Build Overview

This is a laptop-class build combining the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H processor with the AMD Radeon 780M integrated graphics. The pairing represents a high-end CPU solution with a mainstream integrated GPU. The CPU's 84th percentile and the GPU's 61st percentile result in an overall combined percentile of 73. This places the system in the upper-mid range of laptop configurations, excelling in processor-intensive tasks while being adequate, but not exceptional, for gaming. It is a productivity-first machine that offers a gaming capability as a secondary feature. The 3 nm CPU process node and RDNA 3.0 GPU architecture indicate a modern, power-efficient design, fitting for a mobile workstation or a premium thin-and-light laptop.

GPU Analysis

The AMD Radeon 780M is an integrated graphics processor based on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on TSMC's 4 nm process. It features 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 raster operation pipelines. The GPU operates at a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz. It includes 12 ray tracing cores, which provide hardware support for DirectX Raytracing, a feature that is uncommon in integrated graphics.

The memory subsystem relies on system memory, with size, type, and bandwidth being "System Shared" and "System Dependent". This means performance is heavily influenced by the system's DDR5 memory speed and configuration. The theoretical peak performance is 8.909 TFLOPS for FP32 and FP16, with pixel and texture rates of 92.80 GPixel/s and 139.2 GTexel/s, respectively. The GPU's benchmark scores show a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 480, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 18602, and a Vulkan score of 33683. These numbers indicate a GPU that is roughly on par with the AMD Radeon Pro 560 (0.2% faster) and nearly identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 in average score (0.3% slower), though the RTX 4060 is a dedicated card and the 780M is an IGP. For rendering, the 780M can handle light 3D modeling and video effects, but the lack of dedicated VRAM will limit complex scenes and high-resolution textures.

Usage Scenarios

High-Refresh Gaming: Estimated performance is limited. The GPU's 61st percentile score suggests 1080p gaming at high settings in esports titles, but high-refresh AAA gaming is unrealistic. The CPU will not bottleneck, but the GPU will cap frame rates well below 144 Hz in demanding games.

Streaming: The CPU is well-suited for streaming. Its 16 threads and high Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23991 can handle game capture and encoding via software x264, though the GPU's gaming limits will restrict the complexity of games that can be streamed concurrently.

Video Editing: The CPU's strong multi-core performance makes this a viable scenario. Rendering timelines and exporting 4K video will be accelerated by the 16 cores. The GPU can assist with effects and transitions, but its 8.909 TFLOPS is insufficient for complex, GPU-accelerated color grading or heavy motion graphics.

3D Rendering: This is a strong use case. The CPU's 23991 Cinebench score will render scenes in Blender or similar CPU-based renderers efficiently. The GPU can be used for viewport previews but will be slow for final frame rendering with ray tracing enabled, given its 480 Steel Nomad score.

Software Development: The 16 cores and high Passmark integer math score of 62070 make compilation times short. The system can handle multiple VMs and containers. The GPU is irrelevant for this workload, making this an excellent match.

Student and Office Work: This is overkill for basic tasks, but the system will be highly responsive. The single-thread score of 4013 ensures quick application launches, and the 25 W TDP means long battery life. The GPU is more than enough for spreadsheets, documents, and web browsing.
