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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE and the Intel Core 9 273PQE. The Intel part has a full set of recorded measurements, while the AMD part has no benchmark scores in the database at all. This asymmetry makes a direct numerical comparison impossible.

What the data does show is where the Intel Core 9 273PQE stands on its own. Its average benchmark score of 66099 places it at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. That is a strong position. The nearest rivals confirm its performance tier: it sits within 1.2% of the AMD EPYC 4465P, trails the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus by 1.1%, and is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D at a 0.3% delta. The Core 9 273PQE is 0.1% behind the Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus, which is a statistical dead heat.

Looking at the individual benchmark results for the Intel part, the multi-core scores are substantial. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result is 39190, while the single-core result is 5532. The ratio between those two numbers shows strong scaling across its 12 cores and 24 threads. The Cinebench R20 results follow a similar pattern: 16459 multi-core and 2323 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test records 3950 multi-core and 557 single-core.

The Passmark suite adds more texture. The integer math score of 164629 and floating point math score of 125546 both indicate heavy compute throughput. The data compression test records 585752, which is the highest single score in the entire Passmark set for this CPU. Extended instructions score 38743, and random string sorting reaches 53167. The single-thread Passmark score is 4573, and the multithread score is 46107. Find prime numbers is notably low at 198, suggesting that particular workload does not suit this architecture well. Data encryption scores 29636, and physics scores 2754.

For the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE, the database contains no benchmark entries, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile rank of 50 places it exactly at the median of all CPUs, but with zero recorded scores, that figure is structural rather than performance-derived. The absence of data means no wins can be assigned to either side in a head-to-head framework. The Intel part carries all recorded performance data in this comparison.

Architecture Differences

The two CPUs come from different manufacturers, different process nodes, and different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 9 273PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The database does not list transistor count or die size for the Intel part.

The core counts diverge sharply. AMD provides 4 cores and 8 threads, while Intel provides 12 cores and 24 threads. That is a 3x difference in cores and threads. The cache hierarchy reflects this scale difference. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. The L3 difference is particularly large: 36 MB versus 8 MB, a 4.5x advantage for Intel.

The integrated graphics also differ. AMD uses Radeon Vega 6, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Neither is a discrete-class solution, but they represent different integrated graphics approaches.

The PCIe support differs by generation. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel Core 9 273PQE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. That is a two-generation gap in interface technology.

The foundry and process node are fundamentally different. AMD uses TSMC's 7 nm process, while Intel uses its own 10 nm process. The AMD part is a monolithic design with a known die size of 180 mm². The Intel part does not have a listed die size or transistor count in the database.

The memory controllers differ as well. AMD supports DDR4 in a dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel memory bandwidth figure is 75% higher than AMD's.

ECC memory support is another split. The Intel Core 9 273PQE supports ECC memory, while the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE does not.

The multiplier unlock status also differs. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part does not.

Specification Differences

The socket is a clear dividing line. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel Core 9 273PQE uses Intel Socket 1700. These are not interchangeable.

The core and thread counts differ: 4 cores and 8 threads for AMD, 12 cores and 24 threads for Intel.

Base clocks are close but not identical. The AMD part runs at 3.60 GHz base, while the Intel part runs at 3.40 GHz base. The boost clocks diverge more significantly: 4.20 GHz for AMD versus 5.90 GHz for Intel.

Thermal design power differs by a wide margin. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has a TDP of 35 watts, while the Intel Core 9 273PQE has a TDP of 125 watts. That is a 3.6x difference in rated power draw.

Process node: AMD uses 7 nm, Intel uses 10 nm.

Cache capacities differ across all levels: 64 KB versus 80 KB L1 per core, 512 KB versus 2 MB L2 per core, and 8 MB versus 36 MB L3.

Memory support: DDR4 for AMD, DDR4 and DDR5 for Intel. Memory bandwidth: 51.2 GB/s for AMD, 89.6 GB/s for Intel. ECC support: false for AMD, true for Intel.

PCIe: Gen 3 with 16 lanes for AMD, Gen 5 with 16 lanes for Intel.

Integrated graphics: Radeon Vega 6 for AMD, UHD Graphics 770 for Intel.

Release dates differ. The AMD part has a release date in February 2025, while the Intel part has a release date in March 2026.

The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $589. The AMD part has no launch MSRP in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PQE wins in every category where recorded data exists. Its 12 cores and 24 threads give it a structural advantage in multi-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39190 reflects that. The Passmark multithread score of 46107 and integer math score of 164629 reinforce the same conclusion. The data compression score of 585752 is the standout result, indicating strong throughput in compression workloads.

The single-core performance also favors Intel. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5532 and Passmark single-thread score of 4573 show that the 5.90 GHz boost clock delivers results. The Intel part does not rely solely on core count; its per-core performance is also competitive.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no recorded wins because it has no recorded data. Its 35 watt TDP suggests a power-conscious design, but the database does not include any benchmark measurements to confirm performance in that envelope. Its 4 cores and 8 threads with a 4.20 GHz boost clock would point toward lighter workloads, but without scores, that remains inference rather than measurement.

The one area where the AMD part appears designed for a different use case is thermal footprint. The 35 watt TDP versus 125 watts is a substantial difference, and the AMD part could plausibly fit into systems where the Intel part would not. The unlocked multiplier on the AMD part also suggests overclocking flexibility, though the Intel part's locked multiplier removes that variable.

The Intel part also wins on memory flexibility with DDR4 and DDR5 support, on bandwidth with 89.6 GB/s, and on ECC support. The PCIe Gen 5 interface gives it a forward-looking connectivity advantage.

The Verdict

The data in the database supports only one choice for performance: the Intel Core 9 273PQE. It has a 93rd percentile ranking, an average benchmark score of 66099, and a full suite of recorded scores across Cinebench and Passmark. Its nearest rivals are all within 1.2% of its average score, and those rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and multiple Intel Core Ultra 5 parts. That places it in a high-performance tier.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no benchmark data. Its 50th percentile ranking is not backed by any measured performance. The database cannot confirm its performance level, and the absence of nearest rivals means there is no reference frame for its expected behavior.

For users who need multi-core throughput, the Intel part's 12 cores and 24 threads, 36 MB of L3 cache, and 39190 Cinebench R23 multi-core score make the case. For users who need single-core responsiveness, the 5.90 GHz boost clock and 5532 Cinebench R23 single-core score support that use case as well.

For users who need a low-power desktop CPU, the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has the 35 watt TDP and an unlocked multiplier, but the database provides no measured verification of its performance. The Intel Core 9 273PQE is the only part in this comparison with demonstrated results, and it is the only part that can be evaluated from the recorded data.
