# Intel Core Ultra 5 336H + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile

This pairing combines a 16-core Panther Lake mobile processor with an Ada Lovelace discrete GPU in a laptop-class build. The CPU sits at the 84th percentile among all processors, while the GPU lands at the 73rd percentile, producing a combined percentile of 79. This is a balanced mid-high-tier mobile platform, though no measured frame rate data exists for this exact combination; all gaming performance discussion below is estimated from the benchmark scores.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is a 16-core, 16-thread processor built on Intel's 3 nm process node under the Panther Lake architecture, part of the Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake-H). It has a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a TDP of 25 W. The cache layout includes 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support covers DDR5 and LPDDR5X in a dual-channel configuration, providing 115.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991 places this chip in strong contention for demanding multi-threaded workloads. Its single-core score of 3387 indicates solid per-thread performance, which is critical for everyday responsiveness and lightly-threaded applications. The Cinebench R20 results show 10076 multi-core and 1422 single-core, while R15 shows 2418 multi-core and 341 single-core — a consistent scaling pattern across benchmark versions.

PassMark results reinforce the multi-threaded strength: multithread score of 28545, integer math at 62070, floating-point math at 82415, and extended instructions at 24542. Data compression reaches 280340, while data encryption scores 21291. Random string sorting hits 34402. Single-thread performance is 4013, which is respectable for a mobile chip. Physics processing scores 2682, and prime number finding is 299.

The average benchmark score of 34485 places this CPU at the 84th percentile of all processors. Compared to its nearest rivals, the Intel Core i7-13700HX scores 34554 (a -0.2% delta, essentially a dead heat), the Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333 (0.4% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X scores 34260 (0.7% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 34222 (0.8% ahead). The Ultra 5 336H is therefore within a hair of all four rivals — differences of less than 1% are within run-to-run variance.

For real workloads, this translates to: the CPU is equally capable of handling 3D rendering, video encoding, and software compilation as the i7-13700HX, which is a notable achievement for a 25 W part. The 16 threads without hyper-threading mean each core is a full physical core, which helps sustained performance in prolonged workloads. The 4.60 GHz boost clock provides responsive single-threaded behavior for office tasks and light coding.

Balance and Bottleneck

The combined percentile of 79, with the CPU at 84 and the GPU at 73, indicates the CPU is the stronger component in this pairing. Benchmark results suggest the CPU has headroom over the GPU in compute-heavy tasks. In CPU-bound scenarios like physics simulation (PassMark physics 2682) and data compression, the GPU is unlikely to be the limiting factor. Conversely, in GPU-bound workloads such as rasterization and ray tracing, the RTX 4070 Mobile's 73rd percentile will cap performance.

The delta between CPU and GPU percentiles (11 points) is moderate — not so large that the CPU idles during gaming, but enough that the GPU will saturate first in graphics-heavy titles. The CPU's single-thread score of 4013 and multi-thread score of 28545 suggest it can feed the GPU adequately in most scenarios. For FPS scaling, the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 19587 and DirectX 12 score of 85 indicate the graphics pipeline is the primary driver of frame rates at high settings.

The iGPU (Intel Xe3 Graphics) is present but secondary; the discrete GPU handles all rendering loads. The 25 W CPU TDP alongside the 115 W GPU TDP means the power budget is skewed toward graphics, which is typical for a gaming laptop. In mixed workloads like streaming while gaming, the CPU has enough multi-threaded headroom (Cinebench R23 23991) to encode video while the GPU renders frames, though the shared thermal envelope could induce throttling in sustained sessions.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The RTX 4070 Mobile's G3D score of 19587 and the CPU's single-thread strength of 4013 suggest this pairing can drive 1080p high-refresh displays in most titles, though the GPU's 73rd percentile means ultra settings at 1440p will dip below 144 FPS in demanding games. Expect 60+ FPS in most titles at high settings.

Streaming: The CPU's 16 physical cores and 25 W TDP, combined with the GPU's tensor cores (144) for NVENC, make this a capable streaming platform. The PassMark multithread score of 28545 ensures encoding overhead won't cripple gameplay, though the GPU's 8 GB VRAM could limit simultaneous game + encode buffers at high resolutions.

Video editing: Cinebench R23 multi-core of 23991 and PassMark floating-point math of 82415 indicate strong performance for timeline scrubbing and export rendering. The GPU's 256.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8 GB GDDR6 handle effects and color grading. The 115.2 GB/s system memory bandwidth may bottleneck 4K multi-stream editing.

3D rendering: The CPU's 23991 Cinebench R23 multi-core score places it near the i7-13700HX, making it suitable for CPU-based renderers. GPU compute via the 4070 Mobile (PassMark GPU compute 8399) accelerates RTX-accelerated renderers, though the 8 GB VRAM limits scene complexity.

Software development: Compilation benefits from the 16 cores and 28545 multithread score. The 3 nm process and 25 W TDP allow sustained boost clocks (4.60 GHz) for builds. The 18 MB L3 cache helps with repeated compilation patterns.

Student and office work: Single-thread score of 4013 and PassMark single-thread of 4013 deliver snappy application launches and spreadsheet responsiveness. The 25 W TDP means long battery life potential, and the iGPU handles display output when the discrete GPU is idle.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses the Intel BGA 2540 socket, which is a soldered mobile platform — there is no socket-based upgrade path. The production status for both CPU and GPU is Active, meaning replacement parts are available, but upgrading within a laptop chassis is generally not feasible. The platform supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in dual-channel mode, with a maximum bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 12 lanes, while the GPU connects via PCIe 4.0 x8.

The CPU's TDP is 25 W, and the GPU's TDP is 115 W, giving a combined thermal design power of 140 W. The suggested PSU is not specified, but the GPU has no power connectors (labeled as "IGP" slot width), suggesting it draws power through the motherboard in a fixed laptop design. The power envelope is modest for a laptop, leaving thermal headroom for sustained loads.

A sensible next upgrade for this platform would be increasing memory capacity or speed, since the dual-channel controller supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Storage upgrades via PCIe Gen 5 are possible with the 12 available CPU lanes, though the GPU occupies 8 of its own PCIe 4.0 lanes. The integrated Intel Xe3 Graphics provides a fallback display output, so a failed discrete GPU would not brick the system entirely. The platform's active production status ensures driver and BIOS support for the foreseeable future.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, with 22,900 million transistors on a 188 mm² die (transistor density of 121.8M per mm²). The AD106 chip runs at a base clock of 1395 MHz and a boost clock of 1695 MHz. Memory is 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s bandwidth at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective).

The GPU has 4608 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units. It includes 36 ray tracing cores and 144 tensor cores. Pixel rate is 81.36 GPixel/s, texture rate is 244.1 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 15.62 TFLOPS (FP16 is also 15.62 TFLOPS at 1:1 ratio). The power draw is 115 W. API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Benchmark results show a Geekbench OpenCL score of 109197 and Vulkan score of 108367. PassMark G3D scores 19587, with DirectX 11 at 179 and DirectX 12 at 85 (DirectX 10 at 116, DirectX 9 at 223). The G2D score is 763, and GPU compute is 8399. The average benchmark score is 27435, placing it at the 73rd percentile of all GPUs.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 4070 Mobile matches the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (27425, 0% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (27565, -0.5% delta). It slightly edges the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell (27135, 1.1% delta) and trails the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 (27839, -1.5% delta). These deltas are all under 1.5%, meaning the 4070 Mobile performs within a narrow band of these widely different desktop and workstation cards.

For rendering, the 36 RT cores enable hardware-accelerated ray tracing in supported titles, while the 144 tensor cores accelerate DLSS and AI workloads. The 256.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, though 4K textures may exceed the 8 GB frame buffer in some titles. The 15.62 TFLOPS FP32 throughput makes it a competent GPU for compute tasks like Blender Cycles or OctaneBench, though the 8 GB VRAM caps scene sizes.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's average benchmark score is 34485 (84th percentile), and the GPU's average is 27435 (73rd percentile). The combined percentile for this pairing is 79. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991 and single-core of 3387 indicate strong multi-threaded performance with adequate single-thread speed. PassMark multithread of 28545 and single-thread of 4013 corroborate this.

The GPU's PassMark G3D of 19587 and GPU compute of 8399 show solid rasterization and compute capabilities. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 109197 and Vulkan of 108367 suggest good cross-API performance. The DirectX 12 score of 85 is lower than DirectX 11's 179, which may indicate driver overhead or benchmark characteristics rather than real-world DX12 weakness.

Combined, this pairing offers 84th percentile CPU performance and 73rd percentile GPU performance. The 11-point gap means the CPU is the stronger component, but the GPU is not a bottleneck in most workloads — it is adequate for the CPU's output. The overall combined percentile of 79 reflects a platform that is above average but not flagship-tier. The CPU's performance parity with the i7-13700HX (within 0.2%) and the GPU's parity with the RTX 3090 (within 0.5%) means this laptop can handle desktop-class workloads in a mobile form factor.

Students: The 25 W TDP and mobile form factor provide portability for campus use. The single-thread score of 4013 ensures smooth operation of productivity suites.

Small business workstations: The CPU's parity with the Ryzen 7 3700X (0.7% faster) means this handles spreadsheet, database, and document workloads with ease. The GPU can accelerate CUDA-based applications for engineering or data analysis.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination. The FACT PACK contains no measured frame rate rows, so all FPS figures here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores. Treat these as approximations, not guaranteed results.

Based on the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 19587 (73rd percentile) and the CPU's single-thread score of 4013, the expected performance at 1080p ultra settings is roughly 60-100 FPS in most AAA titles, with competitive esports titles reaching 120-165 FPS. At 1440p ultra, expect 45-75 FPS in demanding games. The GPU's parity with the RTX 3090 (within 0.5%) suggests frame rates similar to that desktop card, though laptop thermal throttling may reduce sustained performance.

The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991 ensures that physics and AI simulation in games won't bottleneck the GPU. The 16 cores handle background tasks like Discord or browser tabs without impacting frame pacing. The 115.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is sufficient for gaming, though it will not unlock the GPU's full potential in memory-bandwidth-sensitive titles.

For ray tracing, the 36 RT cores provide hardware acceleration, but the 8 GB VRAM may be a limiting factor in RT-heavy titles at high resolutions. DLSS via the 144 tensor cores can recover performance, but only in supported titles. The DirectX 12 score of 85 (PassMark) suggests DX12 titles may have slightly lower performance than DX11 equivalents, though this benchmark metric is not directly indicative of gaming FPS.

The 256.0 GB/s GPU memory bandwidth is adequate for 1080p ultra and 1440p high settings. The 4.60 GHz boost clock of the CPU keeps frame times consistent in CPU-bound scenarios. Overall, this pairing should deliver a smooth gaming experience at 1080p and playable performance at 1440p, with the CPU providing ample headroom above the GPU's output.
