Calculation result
Bottleneck percentage
When configuring a high-performance computing setup, it's imperative to ensure that each hardware component is well-matched with its counterparts to provide seamless and optimal system performance. In the case of the Intel Celeron 420 and AMD Radeon R5E in the Terraria with 1280 × 720 and 1 monitor, it appears that hardware compatibility has been achieved superbly, as evidenced by the calculated bottleneck percentage of 0%.
To elaborate, a bottleneck occurs when one component restricts the maximum efficiency of another, leading to suboptimal performance and reduced system effectiveness. However, in this configuration, that is not a concern. Any bottleneck percentage below 5% is generally deemed insignificant, and our current bottleneck value sits at 0%, which means you can expect superior system performance.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the Intel Celeron 420 and AMD Radeon R5E, under the context of Terraria with a screen resolution of 1280 × 720 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 77%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 82.6%.
It's crucial to understand that these figures signify theoretical maximums based on typical CPU-to-GPU workload distribution ratios for certain tasks or gaming experiences. Achieving these high levels of utilization in real-world settings can be a challenging endeavor.

A game is considered "playable" if it can consistently run at 60 FPS on high settings. This ensures a smooth and visually appealing gaming experience free from lags or stutters.
Heatmap of bottleneck
The heatmap serves as a graphical representation to further confirm the compatibility between the Intel Celeron 420 and AMD Radeon R5E. On this heatmap, the x-axis corresponds to the CPU Score, and the y-axis corresponds to the GPU Score. In a perfectly balanced system such as this, the intersection point of the Intel Celeron 420 and AMD Radeon R5E will fall within the "no bottleneck zone."
The "no bottleneck zone" is an area on the heatmap where the hardware components are not only compatible but are also optimally matched to provide peak system performance. When the intersection of the CPU and GPU scores resides in this zone, it is a strong indicator that the system is balanced and will deliver excellent performance for Terraria. The presence of both the Intel Celeron 420 and AMD Radeon R5E in this zone confirms that neither component will hinder the performance of the other, leading to a seamless and highly efficient computing experience.
Mapping your Intel Celeron 420 CPU Score against the AMD Radeon R5E GPU Score can provide a comprehensive view of how these components interact and where bottlenecks are most likely to happen. Leveraging this heatmap data could guide you in making more balanced hardware selections suitable for your specific computing needs.
General bottleneck calculations
The bottleneck calculations presented here are geared specifically towards in-game scenarios, providing valuable insights into how your hardware configuration could impact gaming performance. However, it's crucial to understand that bottlenecks can manifest in various types of tasks and applications. Below, you will find bottleneck calculations segmented into three primary categories: General Tasks, CPU Intensive Tasks, and GPU Intensive Tasks. This segmentation allows for a more nuanced understanding of how your system's components interact under different types of workloads.
General tasks bottleneck result
For general tasks that include web browsing, video streaming, office applications, and basic multitasking, the bottleneck result offers a comprehensive look at how well your CPU and GPU are balanced. If the bottleneck percentage leans heavily towards either the CPU or GPU, it might be beneficial to consider an upgrade for the more taxed component to ensure smoother system performance.

Impact of Changing Screen Resolution
If your graphics card is bottlenecking the system, lowering the screen resolution will allow the card to handle data more efficiently, resulting in higher frames per second. However, it's worth noting that lower resolutions will require less data processing from the CPU, which could create a new bottleneck there.
