AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT vs Intel Core 9 273PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep in the head-to-head comparison: the Intel Core 9 273PE wins all 17 benchmark comparisons, with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT recording zero wins. The most dramatic gaps appear in compute-heavy workloads. In PassMark physics, the Intel part scores 3120 against 875 for the AMD chip, a delta of -72% for the Ryzen. Similarly, PassMark find prime numbers shows 203 versus 57, a -71.9% difference. Floating point math follows the same pattern: 107884 for Intel versus 39817 for AMD, a -63.1% margin.

The Cinebench results all cluster around a -44.8% delta in favor of Intel. Cinebench R23 multicore shows 31288 against 17272, while the single-core result is 4417 versus 2438, both -44.8%. Cinebench R15 and R20 repeat the same ratio: R15 multicore is 3153 versus 1740, R20 multicore is 13140 versus 7254, and the single-core variants show 445 versus 245 and 1855 versus 1023 respectively. The consistency of this -44.8% figure across every Cinebench workload indicates a uniform scaling advantage rather than a workload-specific quirk.

Integer math shows a -50.1% delta, with Intel at 139410 and AMD at 69566. Data compression is closer at -36.2%, with scores of 405885 versus 258882. Random string sorting shows 45098 against 26188, a -41.9% gap. Extended instructions land at 24630 versus 18041, a -26.8% difference, the narrowest margin outside the single-thread tests. Data encryption is -30.1%, at 22719 versus 15873.

The closest contest is in single-thread performance. PassMark single thread shows Intel at 3650 versus AMD at 3348, a modest -8.3% delta. This is the only benchmark where the AMD processor remains within striking distance, suggesting that architectural efficiency per thread narrows the gap considerably when core count is not a factor.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PE dominates every measured workload category. Its largest advantages appear in physics simulation, prime number calculation, and floating point math, where the deltas exceed 60%. These workloads typically scale with core count, thread count, and clock speed, all of which favor the Intel part. The Intel processor carries 12 cores and 24 threads against 6 cores and 12 threads for the AMD, and its boost clock reaches 5.70 GHz versus 4.60 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT shows no winning categories in this dataset. However, its relative strength lies in single-thread PassMark performance, where the -8.3% delta is far smaller than the multi-thread gaps. That suggests the Zen 3 architecture delivers competitive per-core throughput despite the overall disadvantage. In practical terms, the AMD part remains viable for workloads that depend on single-thread responsiveness, though the recorded data does not show it ahead in any specific test.

The Intel part also benefits from a higher average benchmark score. Its average sits at 49845, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs. The AMD average is 20733, which corresponds to the 74th percentile. The Intel nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 at 49796 (a 0.1% delta), the Intel Core i5-14600KF at 49394 (0.9%), the Intel Core i9-13980HX at 50398 (-1.1%), and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 at 50448 (-1.2%). The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT sits near the Intel Core i5-12490F at 20802 (-0.3%), the Intel Xeon 6325P at 20821 (-0.4%), the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U at 20826 (-0.4%), and the AMD EPYC 7J13 at 20845 (-0.5%). These rival placements confirm that the two processors occupy entirely different performance tiers.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT uses the Zen 3 architecture on the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The die contains 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 9 273PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename under the Core 9 generation, fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel. The transistor count and die size for the Intel part are not recorded.

Cache organization differs substantially. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger per-core L2 on the Intel design (2 MB versus 512 KB) gives each core more local storage, while the 36 MB shared L3 more than doubles the AMD's 16 MB pool.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD chip supports DDR4 only, with dual-channel access and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part also includes ECC memory support, which the AMD part lacks. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD offers Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD uses Radeon Vega 7, while the Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. Both parts are desktop segments and remain in active production. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier; the Intel part does not. The AMD release date is recorded as 2024-01-07, while the Intel release date is 2026-03-08.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT has 6 cores and 12 threads, a base clock of 3.60 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel Core 9 273PE has 12 cores and 24 threads, a base clock of 2.30 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.70 GHz. Both are rated at 65 W TDP.

Sockets are incompatible: the AMD uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD process node is 7 nm; the Intel process node is 10 nm. The AMD foundry is TSMC; the Intel foundry is Intel. The AMD memory support is DDR4 only; the Intel support is DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s for AMD versus 89.6 GB/s for Intel. ECC memory is false for AMD and true for Intel. PCIe generation is Gen 3 for AMD and Gen 5 for Intel. Integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 7 versus UHD Graphics 730. The multiplier is unlocked on AMD and locked on Intel.

The launch MSRP for the AMD is $140. The launch MSRP for the Intel is $549. The part numbers are 100-000001488 for AMD and SA4QD for Intel.
