The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H paired with the Intel Arc A570M is a mobile combination that lands in an interesting spot: an ultra-modern 3 nm CPU bolted to a previous-generation discrete GPU, together reaching a combined percentile of 86 across tracked builds. The benchmark data shows a machine that handles multi-threaded productivity work comfortably and renders via OpenCL at a level competing with significantly larger desktop graphics cards. This analysis breaks down what those numbers mean in practice for a laptop buyer.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Core Ultra 5 336H is a soldered mobile part on the Intel BGA 2540 socket, so there is no traditional upgrade path — the CPU is permanently attached to its motherboard, and the same applies to the Arc A570M, which is an integrated mobile GPU with no slot presence of its own. Anyone buying this pairing should treat it as a fixed platform for the lifetime of the laptop.

Where flexibility does exist is memory. The CPU supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X on a dual-channel bus with a listed memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s. Configuring the machine with the fastest supported memory at purchase is the one meaningful "upgrade" lever available, since integrated platforms of this class benefit directly from memory bandwidth. LPDDR5X is typically soldered as well, so the memory decision is made once, at order time.

PCIe connectivity is PCIe Gen 5 with 12 CPU lanes. That is modern connectivity by any standard, though the lane count is modest — enough for the discrete GPU link (which itself runs over PCIe 4.0 x8 on the A570M side) plus a fast NVMe SSD, but not a multi-drive, multi-card expansion setup. External expansion is limited to USB and Thunderbolt-class I/O as implemented by the laptop vendor.

Power headroom is defined by two figures: a 25 W CPU TDP and a 75 W GPU TDP. The data indicates a total thermal envelope consistent with a thin-and-light or mainstream mobile chassis — this is not a machine that assumes a thick cooling assembly. There is no suggested PSU figure because there is none to specify in a laptop; the battery and chassis design absorb that role. A sensible next upgrade, when this machine eventually ages out, is a whole-platform replacement rather than any component swap — that is the practical reality of BGA mobile builds.

GPU Analysis

The Arc A570M is built on Intel's Xe-HPG architecture, the Alchemist generation of Arc 5 Mobile, manufactured by TSMC on a 6 nm process. The die measures 269 mm², packs 11,500 million transistors at a density of 42.8M per mm², and is identified by the DG2-256 chip name.

Compute resources: 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. The card runs a 900 MHz base clock and boosts to 1300 MHz, producing a pixel fill rate of 83.20 GPixel/s, a texture fill rate of 166.4 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute of 5.325 TFLOPS — with FP16 at 10.65 TFLOPS in a 2:1 ratio. Ray tracing is handled by 16 RT cores. There are no dedicated tensor cores listed, which matters for anyone expecting hardware-accelerated AI inference at the level of newer generations; this GPU does not list that capability.

Memory is 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) for 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. For rendering workloads, 8 GB is workable at 1080p-class textures but is the practical ceiling for the card — heavy 4K texture sets will spill over.

The single recorded benchmark, Geekbench OpenCL, returns 58239. Interpretation matters here: that places the A570M in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals by average score are the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (58392, a deltaPct of -0.3 in the A570M's favor being just out of reach — effectively -0.3 means the A570M trails by 0.3%), the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM (58085, the A570M 0.3% ahead), the NVIDIA P102-100 (58528, -0.5%), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 (58657, -0.7%). In other words, in OpenCL compute the A570M trades blows within a fraction of a percent of a desktop-flagship-tier Radeon and a professional-datacenter part. That is a strong compute showing for a 75 W mobile GPU, though OpenCL compute is not the same as gaming throughput — a distinction worth holding onto when reading the gaming section below.

API support is current where it counts: DirectX 12 Ultimate (feature level 12_2), Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8, which is adequate for a GPU of this class even if it is a generation behind the CPU's Gen 5 capability.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU side posts a full spread of results. Cinebench multicore: 2418 in R15, 10076 in R20, and 23991 in R23. Cinebench single-core: 341 (R15), 1422 (R20), and 3387 (R23). The R23 pair is the most telling: roughly 24 thousand points multi-core against roughly 3.4 thousand single-core across 16 cores and 16 threads (no hyperthreading-style doubling — 16 cores map to 16 threads directly).

PassMark results fill out the picture: 28545 multithread, 4013 single thread, 62070 integer math, 82415 floating point math, 280340 data compression, 21291 data encryption, 24542 extended instructions, 299 find prime numbers, 2682 physics, and 34402 string sorting. The compression score is a standout — memory bandwidth and integer throughput clearly work together well on this platform.

The aggregate average benchmark score is 34485, placing the CPU in the 84th percentile of all tracked CPUs. The nearest rivals are remarkably tight: the Intel Core i7-13700HX at 34554 (the 336H trails by 0.2%), the Intel Core i5-13450HX at 34333 (the 336H leads by 0.4%), the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X at 34260 (0.7% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 at 34222 (0.8% ahead). Statistically, this CPU is interchangeable with that cluster in aggregate performance — what is notable is that it achieves it at a 25 W TDP alongside a modern 3 nm process node.

Combined with the GPU's 88th-percentile OpenCL result, the build's combined percentile is 86. That is a high-tier laptop by the database's distribution — not flagship, but firmly in the upper band.

Who Should Build It

Because this is a laptop-class pairing, "building" means selecting the right machine. The measured data points to several clear user groups.

Content creators working at 1080p-class resolutions are well served. The CPU's R23 multi-core score of 23991 indicates comfortable timeline scrubbing, export queue handling, and batch processing, while the A570M's OpenCL score in the 88th percentile — within half a percent of desktop Radeon flagships in that test — accelerates OpenCL-enabled renderers and effects. Video editors and 3D artists who render via OpenCL get genuine workstation-adjacent throughput from a mobile part.

Developers and engineering students benefit from the 16-core, 16-thread layout and the 4013 PassMark single-thread score. Compile times, containerized workloads, and local VMs are all multi-core-friendly, and the single-thread figure is high enough that interactive tooling does not feel sluggish. The 115.2 GB/s memory bandwidth supports large working sets reasonably.

Small business workstations are a strong fit: the 21291 encryption and 280340 compression scores translate directly to fast full-disk encryption and backup archiving, and the 25 W TDP keeps the machine quiet and cool in an office environment.

Gamers are a qualified yes. The GPU's 88th-percentile OpenCL standing does not automatically translate to equivalent game performance, and with no measured FPS data for this exact combination, expectations should be set conservatively — see the gaming section. Gamers targeting 1080p are the right audience; anyone fixated on ultra settings at higher resolutions should look elsewhere.

Data scientists and AI researchers should note the absence of listed tensor cores on the A570M. OpenCL compute is available and fast by the numbers, but dedicated AI acceleration hardware is not part of this GPU's listed specification.

FAQ

Q: Can the CPU or GPU be upgraded later?

A: No. The Core Ultra 5 336H uses the Intel BGA 2540 socket, which is a soldered mobile package, and the Arc A570M is an integrated mobile GPU with no slot. The platform is fixed at purchase; the only spec worth maximizing up front is memory, given DDR5/LPDDR5X support and 115.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals?

A: Its average benchmark score of 34485 sits within a fraction of a percent of the Intel Core i7-13700HX (34554), Intel Core i5-13450HX (34333), AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (34260), and AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (34222) — deltas of -0.2%, +0.4%, +0.7%, and +0.8% respectively. In aggregate terms the field is effectively tied.

Q: Is the GPU good for rendering?

A: In OpenCL compute, yes. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239 places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, trading places within 0.7% of parts like the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT and the AMD Radeon PRO V710. The 5.325 TFLOPS FP32 figure and 224 GB/s bandwidth support that standing.

Q: Does the GPU have hardware ray tracing?

A: Yes — 16 RT cores are listed, and DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) support is present. Dedicated tensor cores are not listed, so hardware AI acceleration should not be assumed from this GPU's specifications.

Q: Is the multiplier unlocked for overclocking?

A: No. The multiplierUnlocked field is false, so the 1.90 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost clocks are the operating envelope. ECC memory is also unsupported.

Q: Are there measured game FPS figures for this exact pairing?

A: No. The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this combination, so all frame-rate discussion here is estimation derived from benchmark scores rather than recorded gameplay testing.

Q: What memory should the machine be configured with?

A: The fastest supported option at purchase — DDR5 or LPDDR5X, dual-channel, up to 115.2 GB/s bandwidth. On a GPU sharing platform bandwidth constraints, memory speed is the single most impactful purchasable spec.

Gaming Performance

There are no measured FPS rows for this exact CPU-plus-GPU combination — the dataset is empty and dataIsMeasured is false. Every frame-rate statement below is an estimate inferred from the benchmark scores, not a recorded figure.

What the numbers support: the Arc A570M's Geekbench OpenCL score of 58239 (88th percentile) indicates substantial raw compute, with rivals in that test spanning desktop Radeon hardware and professional parts. The 8 GB of GDDR6 at 224 GB/s and the 5.325 TFLOPS FP32 rate point toward capable 1080p gaming — modern titles at high settings, with ultra settings achievable in many engines. The 16 RT cores make ray-traced effects usable, though the performance tier suggests enabling them selectively rather than globally.

The CPU side is not a gaming limiter at these settings. A 4013 single-thread PassMark score and a 3387 Cinebench R23 single-core result are upper-band figures, more than sufficient to feed a GPU of this class, and the 2682 physics score supports CPU-bound simulation in games.

At higher resolutions, the picture tightens. The 128-bit bus and 8 GB buffer are the constraining factors; texture-heavy titles at 1440p and beyond will press against the VRAM ceiling before the shader array runs out of geometry work. Frame-rate expectations above 1080p should be scaled down accordingly, and any specific numbers beyond that qualitative framing would be speculation the data does not support.

CPU Analysis

The Core Ultra 5 336H is a Panther Lake (Panther Lake-H) design, fabricated by Intel on a 3 nm process — one of the newest nodes represented in this database. It carries 16 cores and 16 threads, a 1.90 GHz base clock, and a 4.60 GHz boost clock, all within a 25 W TDP. That power figure is the headline: matching the aggregate performance of a Core i7-13700HX-class field at that envelope is the defining characteristic of this chip.

Cache hierarchy: 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The generous per-core L2 allocation helps explain the strong single-thread results, since each core keeps a large working set local. Integrated graphics are Intel Xe3 Graphics, which handles display output and light workloads when the discrete A570M is idle.

The benchmark spread reads consistently. R23 multi-core at 23991 across 16 threads is a solid mainstream-mobile result; single-core at 3387 is genuinely strong. The PassMark suite reinforces this: 62070 integer math, 82415 floating point, 24542 extended instructions (showing good SIMD throughput), and 280340 compression — the latter reflecting the platform's memory subsystem as much as its cores. The 299 find-prime-numbers result is a specialized integer workload where this class of efficiency-focused CPU predictably trails big-desktop silicon, and it is the one subtest that pulls against the otherwise high standings.

For real workloads, translate it this way: bursty interactive work (browsing, office, IDE use) runs on the strong single-thread core; sustained parallel work (renders, encodes, compiles) distributes across all 16 cores. The 84th-percentile overall position says the chip does both at a level most tracked CPUs do not reach.

Build Overview

This is a laptop-class build: a mobile Core Ultra 5 processor from the Core Ultra Series 3 generation paired with a mobile Arc 5 discrete GPU. The CPU sits in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, the GPU in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, and the combination lands at a combined percentile of 86.

That overall tier reads as upper-mainstream mobile. Neither component is the absolute fastest tracked, but both outperform the large majority of the database, and critically they do so in complementary fashion — the CPU with efficiency-first modern silicon, the GPU with a large allocation of compute and memory for its power class. The pairing makes internal sense: both are Intel parts, sharing a driver and platform ecosystem, with the A570M's PCIe 4.0 x8 link fed by the CPU's Gen 5-capable controller. Production status is Active for both components, so this is a current, purchasable configuration rather than legacy stock.

Balance and Bottleneck

The percentile spread tells the balancing story: GPU at 88, CPU at 84, combined at 86. This is a well-matched pairing with a slight GPU tilt, and the right workload determines which component leads.

In gaming, the GPU is the limiting component. The CPU's single-thread scores (3387 R23 single-core, 4013 PassMark single thread) are high-percentile figures that a 75 W mobile GPU cannot fully saturate at 1080p in most titles; frame rates will scale with the A570M's 2048 shading units and 224 GB/s of bandwidth long before the 336H runs out of headroom. Because there are no measured FPS rows to confirm scaling directly, this is inferred from the component percentiles — but a four-point percentile gap in the GPU's favor, combined with upper-band CPU single-thread results, points one direction clearly.

In rendering and compute, the GPU again leads: its 88th-percentile OpenCL score, effectively tied with desktop flagship Radeons in that test, exceeds what the CPU's own compute throughput would deliver for OpenCL-accelerated work. Creators should route render workloads to the GPU wherever the application allows.

In multi-core productivity — compiles, encoding, compression, encryption — the CPU becomes the primary engine, and its near-tie with the i7-13700HX cluster (a -0.2% delta) shows it holding its own against chips designed for much larger power envelopes. The 25 W TDP does mean sustained all-core loads will live within that thermal contract; the scores above are what the platform achieves within it.

The one genuine constraint to watch is memory. With 115.2 GB/s of system bandwidth and an 8 GB GPU buffer, both components draw from fixed pools, and the configuration chosen at purchase — since nothing here is upgradeable — defines the machine's ceiling for its entire service life. Buy the memory you will need in three years, not the memory you need today.
