Intel Core i9-13980HX Benchmark Results — All GPU Pairings Tested
Intel Core i9-13980HX has been stress-tested in 5 distinct GPU pairings from 47 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 65.7/100 (grade B). The strongest measured pairing is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU at 74/100; the weakest is Intel(R) UHD Graphics at 54/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 2.2% with thermal health around 88/100.
What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.
