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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded head-to-head data shows a decisive sweep: the Intel Core 9 273PQE wins all 17 benchmark comparisons, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE records zero wins. The closest margin appears in single-threaded PassMark tests, where the Intel part leads by 20.3% (3644 vs. 4573). That is still a substantial gap, but it is the narrowest of any comparison in the set.

Multi-core rendering workloads show a much wider separation. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel Core 9 273PQE scores 39190 against 11705 for the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, a 70.1% deficit for the AMD part. Cinebench R20 multi-core follows the same pattern: 16459 vs. 4916, again a 70.1% difference. Cinebench R15 multi-core shows 3950 vs. 1179, a 70.2% gap. The consistency of these deltas across three Cinebench versions indicates the performance ratio is stable regardless of workload generation.

Single-core Cinebench results are similarly lopsided. The Intel part scores 5532 in R23 single-core, versus 1652 for the AMD chip, a 70.1% difference. R20 single-core shows 2323 vs. 693 (70.2% gap), and R15 single-core shows 557 vs. 166 (70.2% gap). The uniformity of these percentages suggests the per-core advantage is nearly identical across rendering generations, rather than varying by optimization level.

PassMark workloads amplify the Intel lead further. Floating point math shows the largest gap: 125546 vs. 24681, a 80.3% difference. Integer math follows at 164629 vs. 39163, a 76.2% gap. Prime number finding scores 198 vs. 44, a 77.8% difference. Data compression shows 585752 vs. 155164, a 73.5% gap. Data encryption records 29636 vs. 8603, a 71% difference. Extended instructions score 38743 vs. 11923, a 69.2% gap. Random string sorting shows 53167 vs. 18010, a 66.1% difference, the smallest multi-threaded gap in the PassMark suite. Physics simulation scores 2754 vs. 750, a 72.8% gap. Multithread overall scores 46107 vs. 13507, a 70.7% difference.

The single-thread PassMark score appears twice in the data (4573 and 4573), and both entries confirm the same 20.3% lead for Intel. That is the only sub-50% delta in the entire comparison, indicating that the Intel advantage is primarily driven by core count and throughput rather than by single-thread efficiency alone, though single-thread performance still favors Intel meaningfully.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE does not win any of the 17 tested workloads. Every category, from rendering to compression to encryption to math operations, goes to the Intel Core 9 273PQE. The database therefore shows no use case where the AMD part takes the lead in these specific measurements.

The Intel processor wins across all workload types. For rendering, the Cinebench suite (R15, R20, R23) in both single-core and multi-core configurations all favor Intel. For general productivity, PassMark multithread, integer math, floating point math, and extended instructions all favor Intel by wide margins. For memory-bound or data-heavy tasks, data compression and random string sorting also favor Intel, with the compression gap at 73.5% and sorting at 66.1%. For security or encryption workloads, data encryption favors Intel by 71%. Even the physics simulation test, which often responds to different scheduling behaviors, favors Intel by 72.8%.

The narrowest Intel win in single-threaded PassMark (20.3%) suggests that the AMD part is relatively closer in per-thread integer performance, but that advantage does not translate to a win in any recorded test. The widest Intel win in floating point math (80.3%) indicates a strong throughput advantage in floating-point-heavy calculations, likely tied to the core count difference.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture on the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 9 273PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The process node difference is substantial: 4 nm versus 10 nm. The AMD chip integrates 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die, while the Intel database entry lists no transistor count or die size.

Core and thread counts differ sharply. The AMD part has 4 cores and 8 threads. The Intel part has 12 cores and 24 threads. That is a 3x core advantage and a 3x thread advantage for Intel. Cache hierarchies also differ. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. The Intel L3 is 4.5 times larger in total capacity.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus. Memory bandwidth is recorded as 83.2 GB/s for AMD and 89.6 GB/s for Intel, a 6.4 GB/s difference. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation and lane count. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 740M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the Intel Core 9 273PQE outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE in every recorded benchmark. The Intel part holds a 20.3% single-thread lead and multi-thread leads ranging from 66.1% to 80.3% across PassMark workloads, with Cinebench multi-core gaps around 70%. The Intel part also carries 3x the cores, 3x the threads, 4.5x the L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5, and a higher boost clock of 5.90 GHz versus 4.90 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE offers a much lower TDP of 35 W against 125 W, a smaller 4 nm process node, and a 4 nm transistor density advantage (20,900 million transistors on 137 mm²), but those architectural strengths do not produce any benchmark win in the recorded data. The AMD part also supports only DDR5, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5.

For workloads measured in this database, the Intel Core 9 273PQE is the stronger choice across rendering, math, compression, encryption, and physics simulations. The AMD part would only be preferable in scenarios where its lower power envelope or smaller process node matters more than raw performance, but no benchmark in the recorded set reflects such a scenario. The percentile ranking supports this: the Intel part sits at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at the 71st percentile. The average benchmark score difference is 66099 for Intel versus 17614 for AMD. The nearest rival data for Intel shows it within 1.2% of processors like the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, while the AMD part sits within 0.4% of lower-tier chips like the Intel Core i3-14100T and i3-13100F. That context places the Intel part in a much higher performance class entirely.
