AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE vs Intel Core 9 273PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark comparison between the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE and the Intel Core 9 273PE is decisively one-sided. Across 17 recorded benchmarks, the Intel Core 9 273PE claims every single win. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE does not secure a victory in any measured test, with the closest margin appearing in single-threaded workloads.

The largest gap emerges in PassMark's find prime numbers test, where the Intel part scores 203 against AMD's 44, a delta of -78.3%. Floating point math shows a similar chasm: Intel posts 107,884 versus AMD's 24,681, a -77.1% difference. Integer math follows with Intel at 139,410 against 39,163, a -71.9% margin. Physics performance also heavily favors Intel, scoring 3,120 versus 750, a -76% delta.

Cinebench results reinforce the pattern. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, Intel scores 31,288 while AMD manages 11,705, a -62.6% difference. The single-core R23 test shows Intel at 4,417 against AMD's 1,652, also -62.6%. Cinebench R20 multi-core delivers 13,140 for Intel versus 4,916 for AMD, and R20 single-core shows 1,855 against 693. Cinebench R15 follows the same trajectory: 3,153 multi-core versus 1,179, and 445 single-core versus 166. Every Cinebench delta registers at -62.6% or -62.7%.

PassMark's multithread test gives Intel 36,810 and AMD 13,507, a -63.3% gap. Data compression shows Intel at 405,885 versus AMD's 155,164, a -61.8% difference. Data encryption favors Intel 22,719 to 8,603, a -62.1% delta. Extended instructions land at 24,630 for Intel and 11,923 for AMD, a -51.6% margin, the smallest multi-core gap in the set.

Random string sorting shows Intel at 45,098 against AMD's 18,010, a -60.1% difference. The only near-even contest is PassMark single-thread: Intel scores 3,650 and AMD scores 3,644, a -0.2% delta. This single result indicates that in lightly threaded applications, the two processors are effectively matched, but every other workload shows a substantial Intel advantage.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PE dominates across every category of measured performance. In rendering workloads, represented by the three Cinebench versions, Intel leads by roughly 62.6% in both single-core and multi-core tests. This suggests strong performance in 3D rendering, video encoding, and other CPU-bound creative tasks.

PassMark's integer and floating point math tests show Intel leading by 71.9% and 77.1% respectively. These metrics correlate with general computational throughput, including scientific calculations, simulation, and financial modeling. The physics test, where Intel leads by 76%, points to advantages in gaming physics simulation and other real-time calculation workloads.

Data compression and encryption results favor Intel by 61.8% and 62.1% respectively. These tasks benefit from the Intel part's higher core count and thread count, along with its larger cache allocation. Extended instructions, a test of SIMD and vector processing, show Intel ahead by 51.6%, the smallest multi-core deficit for AMD.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE's only competitive area is single-threaded performance. With a PassMark single-thread score of 3,644 versus Intel's 3,650, the delta is -0.2%, effectively a tie. This means that in older applications, lightly threaded workloads, or tasks with minimal parallelism, the AMD chip performs comparably. However, the database shows no test where AMD wins outright, so even this strength only neutralizes Intel's advantage rather than overcoming it.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies and manufacturing processes. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is built on TSMC's 4 nm process node with a Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Phoenix2. It belongs to the 8000 series and uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform. The Intel Core 9 273PE uses Intel's 10 nm process, features a Bartlett Lake codename, and fits the Intel Socket 1700.

Core configurations diverge sharply. AMD offers 4 cores and 8 threads, while Intel provides 12 cores and 24 threads. This threefold difference in core count and thread count explains much of the multi-core benchmark gap. Clock speeds also differ: AMD's base clock is 3.50 GHz with a boost of 4.90 GHz, while Intel runs a lower 2.30 GHz base but boosts to 5.70 GHz. The higher Intel boost clock contributes to its single-thread advantage.

Cache hierarchies reflect the core count disparity. AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. Intel provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. Intel's larger L3 cache, combined with more cores, supports its dominance in multi-threaded workloads.

Memory support differs as well. AMD exclusively supports DDR5 with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a slightly higher bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both processors support ECC memory, making them suitable for workstation or server environments.

PCIe capabilities vary by generation. AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon 740M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. Transistor counts are listed only for AMD at 20,900 million with a die size of 137 mm²; Intel's figures are not recorded in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to a clear hierarchy. The Intel Core 9 273PE outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE in all 17 benchmark comparisons, with an average benchmark score of 49,845 against AMD's 17,614. Intel sits at the 90th percentile among all CPUs, while AMD sits at the 71st percentile.

For users prioritizing multi-threaded rendering, data processing, or physics simulation, the Intel part is decisively stronger, with margins ranging from 51.6% to 78.3% depending on the workload. The 12-core, 24-thread configuration and 36 MB of L3 cache provide a substantial structural advantage that no AMD benchmark result overcomes.

For single-threaded tasks, the database shows a practical tie. The PassMark single-thread scores differ by only 0.2%, meaning that applications relying on a single core will perform nearly identically. Users running legacy software, lightweight office tasks, or basic web browsing would see little difference between the two processors in those specific scenarios.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE does offer advantages outside raw performance. Its 35 W TDP is lower than Intel's 65 W, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform with DDR5-only memory support. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, providing more memory flexibility. However, based strictly on benchmark results, the Intel Core 9 273PE is the superior performer in every measured test.

The nearest rival comparisons reinforce this conclusion. Intel's closest competitors in the database include the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 at 49,796 (0.1% delta), the Intel Core i5-14600KF at 49,394 (0.9% delta), and the Intel Core i9-13980HX at 50,398 (-1.1% delta). AMD's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i3-14100T at 17,648 (-0.2% delta) and the Intel Core i3-13100F at 17,653 (-0.2% delta). The Intel Core 9 273PE competes in a much higher performance tier than the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE.
