AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE vs Intel Core 9 273PE Comparison

The Verdict

The database comparison between the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE and the Intel Core 9 273PE is a study in extremes. The AMD part is a 4-core, 8-thread Zen 3 chip with a 35W TDP, designed for efficiency and basic desktop workloads. The Intel part is a 12-core, 24-thread Bartlett Lake processor with a 65W TDP, a 5.70 GHz boost clock, and a 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database.

For users needing maximum multi-threaded throughput, the Intel Core 9 273PE is the clear choice. Its recorded benchmark scores dwarf those of the AMD chip, which has no benchmark entries in the database. The Intel processor sits in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49,845 points. In contrast, the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average score of zero, meaning the database has no recorded performance data for it.

The AMD part is still relevant for a specific use case. Its 35W TDP, unlocked multiplier, and 4.20 GHz boost clock make it a candidate for low-power, compact builds where heat and energy draw are the primary constraints. The Intel chip, with its 65W TDP and locked multiplier, targets users who prioritize raw compute over power efficiency.

The data shows no head-to-head benchmark wins for either side, as the head-to-head benchmark field is empty. The AMD chip has zero recorded wins, and the Intel chip has zero recorded wins. This means the comparison relies entirely on the Intel chip's standalone benchmark scores and the architectural and specification differences.

In short: choose the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE for a low-power, overclockable, entry-level desktop CPU. Choose the Intel Core 9 273PE for serious multi-threaded workloads, high single-thread performance, and the highest percentile ranking available in this comparison.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark results between these two CPUs. The head-to-head benchmark field is empty, and the wins counter shows zero for both sides. This means the only quantitative comparison comes from the Intel chip's standalone benchmark scores.

The Intel Core 9 273PE has a full set of benchmark results. In Cinebench R15, it scores 3,153 in multi-core and 445 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 13,140 in multi-core and 1,855 in single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 31,288 in multi-core and 4,417 in single-core.

PassMark results show strong performance across various workloads. The data compression score is 405,885. Data encryption scores 22,719. Extended instructions score 24,630. Finding prime numbers scores 203. Floating point math scores 107,884. Integer math scores 139,410. Multithread scores 36,810. Physics scores 3,120. Random string sorting scores 45,098. Single-thread scores 3,650 (listed twice in the database).

The Intel chip's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388, which has an average score of 49,796 and a delta of 0.1 percent. The Intel Core i5-14600KF scores 49,394 with a delta of 0.9 percent. The Intel Core i9-13980HX scores 50,398 with a delta of -1.1 percent. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 scores 50,448 with a delta of -1.2 percent.

These deltas indicate that the Intel Core 9 273PE is nearly identical in average score to its closest rivals. It is 0.1 percent ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 and 0.9 percent ahead of the Intel Core i5-14600KF. It lags the Intel Core i9-13980HX by 1.1 percent and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 by 1.2 percent.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is zero, and its percentile ranking is 50. This means the database cannot provide a direct numerical comparison for the AMD chip's performance. The Intel chip's 90th percentile ranking indicates it outperforms the vast majority of CPUs in the database, while the AMD chip sits exactly at the median.

For the largest performance gaps, the Intel chip's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31,288 and its PassMark multithread score of 36,810 highlight its strength in parallel workloads. Its single-thread score of 3,650 in PassMark and 4,417 in Cinebench R23 single-core show strong per-core performance as well. The AMD chip, with no recorded scores, cannot be evaluated against these numbers. The data supports the Intel chip as the higher-performance processor, while the AMD chip remains a lower-power alternative without measured benchmark data.
