Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and use entirely different underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G is built on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, and belongs to the 5000 series. It is fabricated by TSMC on a 7 nm process node, with a die size of 180 mm² and 10,700 million transistors. The Intel Core 9 273PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, is fabricated by Intel on a 10 nm process node, and belongs to the Core 9 generation.

The cache hierarchies differ substantially. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a total of 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger per-core L2 allocation on the Intel chip, combined with its larger shared L3 pool, gives it a structural advantage in workloads that benefit from larger working sets.

Memory architecture also separates the two. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G supports only DDR4 over a dual-channel bus, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel Core 9 273PTE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, with a much higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part but not on the AMD part.

Platform connectivity differs as well. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM4 and provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700 and provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel platform offers a newer PCIe generation, which can matter for high-throughput storage and expansion cards.

The Intel Core 9 273PTE has a locked multiplier, while the AMD Ryzen 5 5605G has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part is therefore more flexible for user-driven overclocking, assuming the rest of the platform supports it. The Intel part's lower 45 W TDP contrasts with the AMD part's 65 W TDP, even though the Intel part has twice the cores and threads.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PTE dominates in every recorded benchmark category. It has 12 cores and 24 threads, which gives it a clear advantage in heavily parallel workloads such as multi-threaded rendering, data compression, and physics simulation. The recorded data shows the Intel part winning all 17 benchmark entries, with no wins recorded for the AMD part.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G, despite its lower core count, offers a higher base clock of 3.90 GHz versus the Intel part's 1.40 GHz. This higher base clock could translate to snappier low-threaded responsiveness in lightly loaded scenarios, though the Intel part's higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz narrows that advantage when the Intel chip ramps up. The AMD part also has an unlocked multiplier, which may appeal to users who plan to manually tune their system.

For users who need ECC memory support, the Intel Core 9 273PTE is the only one of the two that provides it. For users who need DDR5 support, the Intel part is again the only option. The AMD part is limited to DDR4 and does not support ECC memory.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G's smaller die size and lower transistor count suggest a more modestly scaled chip, while the Intel Core 9 273PTE's larger core count and cache sizes point to a higher-end positioning. The Intel part's 45 W TDP is lower than the AMD part's 65 W TDP, which is notable given its higher core count and higher boost clock.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 9 273PTE records a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20445, a single-core score of 2886, a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 8586, and a single-core score of 1212. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2060 in multi-core and 290 in single-core. These scores place the Intel part at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 31143.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, and its average benchmark score is 0. The Intel part therefore leads by the entire margin in every measured test. The Intel part's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12700F at an average score of 31081, a delta of 0.2 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS at 31074, also a delta of 0.2 percent. The Intel Core i7-13700TE sits at 31028, a delta of 0.4 percent, while the Intel Core i7-12650HX scores 31290, a delta of -0.5 percent.

In the PassMark suite, the Intel part records a multi-thread score of 24054 and a single-thread score of 3433. Data compression reaches 258704, while data encryption reaches 14253. Extended instructions score 15952, find prime numbers scores 142, floating point math scores 60673, integer math scores 82411, physics scores 1917, and random string sorting scores 28973. The Intel part's single-thread and singlethread scores both appear as 3433, confirming consistent single-threaded performance.

The Intel part's lead in multi-core rendering is substantial, and its single-core scores also outpace what the AMD part can offer based on the recorded data. The Intel part's 24 threads give it a strong position in threaded workloads, and its 36 MB of shared L3 cache supports data-heavy tasks. The AMD part's lack of recorded benchmark data means no direct comparison can be drawn from the database for that unit.

The Verdict

The recorded data clearly favors the Intel Core 9 273PTE across every benchmark category. It has twice the cores, twice the threads, a higher boost clock, larger caches, support for DDR5, ECC memory support, and a higher percentile ranking at 82 versus 50. Its average benchmark score of 31143 places it among capable mainstream and enthusiast processors, and its nearest rivals cluster within a narrow 0.5 percent band, confirming its standing.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G, with 6 cores and 12 threads, a 4.40 GHz boost clock, and a 65 W TDP, is a more modest desktop part. It offers an unlocked multiplier, which may matter to users who plan to manually tune their system, and its higher base clock of 3.90 GHz could provide responsive low-threaded behavior. However, no benchmark scores are recorded for it in the database, so its measured performance cannot be verified.

For users who prioritize raw multi-threaded performance, memory flexibility, ECC support, and a newer PCIe generation, the Intel Core 9 273PTE is the clear choice based on the data. For users who value an unlocked multiplier and a lower-cost platform approach, the AMD Ryzen 5 5605G may still fit a specific niche, but the database shows no measured performance advantage for it. The Intel part wins all 17 recorded benchmarks, and the AMD part records zero wins. The verdict from the data is unambiguous: the Intel Core 9 273PTE is the higher-performing processor.
