The Verdict

The data points to a clear division of roles. The Intel Core 9 273PQE is the dominant performer across every measured workload in this comparison. Its 12 cores and 24 threads, combined with a 5.90 GHz boost clock, produce average scores more than 3.5 times higher than the AMD part. The 93rd percentile ranking versus the 72nd percentile ranking places these processors in entirely different tiers of the database.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE does have one meaningful strength in the recorded data: its single-thread PassMark score of 3,828 is only 16.3% behind the Intel part, despite the Intel processor's much higher boost clock. This suggests the Zen 4 architecture delivers solid per-core efficiency. However, that single narrow margin does not offset the multicore deficit. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the Intel part leads by 26,679 points. In PassMark multithread, it leads by 31,704 points.

The Intel Core 9 273PQE's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, with a delta of only 0.3%. That places it in flagship-adjacent territory. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE, by contrast, sits among lower-core-count desktop and mobile parts. For workloads that scale across cores, the Intel part is the clear choice based on the benchmark evidence. For lightly threaded tasks, the AMD part narrows the gap but still loses.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts differ drastically. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE provides 4 cores and 8 threads. The Intel Core 9 273PQE provides 12 cores and 24 threads. Both processors share a base clock of 3.40 GHz, but the boost clocks diverge: 4.90 GHz for AMD versus 5.90 GHz for Intel.

Thermal design power differs substantially. The AMD part is rated at 35 W, while the Intel part is rated at 125 W. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM5, Intel uses Socket 1700. Cache configurations also differ. The AMD part has 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 8 MB shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 36 MB shared L3.

Memory support shows a notable split. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities differ: AMD offers Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part uses the Radeon 740M. The Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $589. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. The Intel part releases later, with a 2026-03-08 date, while the AMD part dates to 2024-04-15. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die contains 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 9 273PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The database records no transistor count or die size for the Intel part.

The AMD processor belongs to the 8000 series and the Ryzen 3 generation, specifically Zen 4 (Phoenix). The Intel processor belongs to the Core 9 generation, specifically Bartlett Lake. The process node difference is substantial: 4 nm versus 10 nm. This gives the AMD part a transistor density advantage on paper, though the benchmark data shows the Intel part's larger core count and cache overcome any density advantage.

Cache architecture reflects different design philosophies. The AMD part spreads smaller caches across 4 cores, with 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel part carries 36 MB of shared L3, 4.5 times more, plus larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations. The Intel part's total cache budget of 36 MB L3 likely contributes to its strong data compression and encryption scores, which show deltas of -72.2% and -68.9% respectively.

The Intel part is manufactured in-house at Intel's 10 nm process. The AMD part is manufactured by TSMC at 4 nm. This foundry difference is one of the few areas where the AMD part leads in the specification sheet. The AMD part also delivers its 35 W TDP despite the older release date, suggesting efficiency gains from the smaller process node.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PQE wins every recorded benchmark category. Its strongest relative performance appears in floating point math, where it leads by 79.9%, and integer math, where it leads by 75.5%. These results make it the preferred choice for compute-heavy workloads that stress arithmetic pipelines. Data compression at -72.2% and prime number finding at -73.7% reinforce this pattern. The Intel part also dominates multithread workloads, with a 68.8% lead in PassMark multithread and consistent 68.1% leads across all three Cinebench multicore tests.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE does not win any benchmark category. However, the data reveals where it loses the least. PassMark single-thread shows only a 16.3% deficit, making it the closest contest in the entire comparison. Random string sorting shows a 62.1% deficit, the smallest multicore gap. These results indicate the AMD part's best case is lightly threaded integer work, where its Zen 4 cores and 4.90 GHz boost clock keep the margin relatively contained.

The TDP difference points to a practical split not captured in raw benchmark scores. The AMD part's 35 W rating versus the Intel part's 125 W rating suggests the AMD processor fits in thermally constrained systems. The Intel part's higher power envelope accompanies its higher core count and cache allocation. The benchmark data does not include power efficiency metrics, but the specification gap is large enough to note.

For single-thread responsiveness, the database shows the Intel part still wins, but by a smaller margin. For any workload that uses more than a few threads, the Intel Core 9 273PQE is overwhelmingly faster based on the recorded scores. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE's 72nd percentile ranking places it among mainstream desktop parts, while the Intel part's 93rd percentile ranking places it near flagship territory, adjacent to the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
