Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PTE is the clear winner for multi-threaded and compute-heavy workloads. Its 63.4% advantage in prime number finding, 58.4% in floating point math, and 51% in integer math indicate strong performance in scientific computing, financial modeling, and any task relying on dense arithmetic. The 55.3% lead in physics simulation and the 40.1% lead in PassMark multithread reinforce this pattern. The 37.1% lead in data compression and 35.3% lead in data encryption point to advantages in file archiving and secure data handling. The 22.8% lead in extended instructions covers workloads using advanced CPU instruction sets.

The Intel part's 38.8% to 39% leads across all Cinebench versions, both single-core and multi-core, confirm that its advantage is not limited to parallel workloads. Even in single-threaded rendering tasks, the Intel part holds a consistent edge. The larger L3 cache at 36 MB versus 8 MB, the higher boost clock at 5.50 GHz versus 4.90 GHz, and the higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s versus 83.2 GB/s all support this result.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins only in PassMark single-thread scoring, with an 11.5% lead over the Intel part. This suggests the AMD part has an edge in lightly threaded workloads where only one or two cores are active and where its higher base clock of 3.40 GHz versus 1.40 GHz can help. The AMD part also uses less power at 35 W versus 45 W, and its smaller 4 nm process node from TSMC indicates a more power-efficient design per computation.

The AMD part's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i5-13420H with an average score of 18,511 and a 0% delta, the Intel Core i3-14100F at 18,519 with a 0.1% delta, the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18,380 with a 0.7% delta, and the Intel Core 7 360 at 18,374 with a 0.7% delta. The Intel Core 9 273PTE's nearest rivals are the Intel Core i7-12700F at 31,081 with a 0.2% delta, the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS at 31,074 with a 0.2% delta, the Intel Core i7-13700TE at 31,028 with a 0.4% delta, and the Intel Core i7-12650HX at 31,290 with a 0.5% delta. These rival comparisons show both processors sitting within a tight cluster of similarly performing parts, with the Intel Core 9 273PTE occupying a much higher performance tier.
