AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS vs Intel Core 9 273PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive overall win for the Intel Core 9 273PE, which takes 13 of the 15 head-to-head benchmark comparisons. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS manages only 2 wins, both in the PassMark single-thread tests, and those victories are narrow. The Intel part’s margin of victory is frequently massive, often exceeding 50 percent.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel Core 9 273PE scores 31288 against the AMD’s 14784, a 52.7 percent deficit for the Ryzen part. That is the largest delta in the multi-core workloads. The single-core Cinebench R23 result is even more lopsided in percentage terms: Intel scores 4417 versus AMD’s 1724, a 61 percent gap. Cinebench R15 tells the same story, with Intel ahead by 22 percent in multi-core (3153 versus 2458) and by 39 percent in single-core (445 versus 271.5). These results indicate a fundamental performance advantage for the Intel processor in both heavily threaded and lightly threaded rendering workloads.

The PassMark suite reinforces the pattern. The Intel Core 9 273PE leads by 58.6 percent in find prime numbers (203 versus 84), by 56.7 percent in physics (3120 versus 1351), and by 48.3 percent in floating point math (107884 versus 55739). Integer math shows a 33 percent lead for Intel (139410 versus 93342). Data compression favors Intel by 23.3 percent (405885 versus 311199), while data encryption shows a smaller 17.1 percent advantage (22719 versus 18838). The extended instructions test is the closest PassMark workload, with Intel ahead by just 9.5 percent (24630 versus 22298). Random string sorting gives Intel a 15.9 percent edge (45098 versus 37922), and the PassMark multi-thread score puts Intel at 36810 versus 26646, a 27.6 percent gap.

The only two results that go the other way are the PassMark single-thread and singlethread scores, which are effectively the same test recorded twice. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS posts 3692 in both, while the Intel Core 9 273PE posts 3650 in both. That gives AMD a 1.2 percent edge, a statistically minor difference that does not offset the breadth of Intel’s wins elsewhere.

Looking at the database’s aggregate metrics, the Intel Core 9 273PE sits at the 90th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS sits at the 87th percentile. The Intel part’s average benchmark score is 49845, compared with 39603 for the AMD part. The nearest rivals for Intel include the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 at 49796, a 0.1 percent gap, and the Intel Core i5-14600KF at 49394, a 0.9 percent gap. The Intel Core 9 273PE also leads the Intel Core i9-13980HX by 1.1 percent and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 by 1.2 percent, according to the delta values. For the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS, the nearest rivals show a much tighter cluster: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 sits 0.3 percent behind, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D sits 0.4 percent ahead, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS sits 0.7 percent behind, and the AMD EPYC 4245P sits 1 percent behind.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split by workload class. The Intel Core 9 273PE is the stronger processor for any task that scales with cores, threads, or sustained throughput. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31288 is more than double the AMD’s 14784, and its PassMark multi-thread score of 36810 beats the AMD’s 26646 by roughly 38 percent. Users running rendering, physics simulation, floating point math, or data compression workloads will see substantially higher scores on the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS holds only a marginal advantage in PassMark single-thread performance, 3692 versus 3650, a 1.2 percent edge. That result does not translate into a win in either Cinebench single-core test, where Intel leads by 39 percent in R15 and 61 percent in R23. The AMD part’s single-thread PassMark win appears to be an outlier relative to the Cinebench single-core results, so it should not be read as evidence of general single-thread superiority.

The Intel Core 9 273PE also occupies a higher position in the overall database ranking, at the 90th percentile versus the 87th percentile for the AMD part. Its average benchmark score of 49845 places it in the company of processors like the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 and the Intel Core i5-14600KF, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS sits near the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS. The Intel part’s nearest rivals are all within 1.2 percent, indicating that it is competitive with a set of high-end desktop and mobile processors. The AMD part’s nearest rivals are also within 1 percent, but at a lower absolute score level.

From the recorded data alone, the Intel Core 9 273PE is the pick for users whose workloads are multi-threaded or mixed, given its large leads across Cinebench R15, Cinebench R23, and most PassMark subtests. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is the pick only for users who place a premium on the single PassMark subtest where it leads, and even then the margin is small. The Intel part’s launch MSRP is $549, a figure the database records, but no cost analysis is possible beyond that single value.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every headline specification recorded in the database. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 9 273PE has 12 cores and 24 threads. Base clocks are 3.30 GHz for the AMD part and 2.30 GHz for the Intel part, but the boost clocks reverse that order: 5.10 GHz for AMD and 5.70 GHz for Intel. The rated TDP is 28 watts for the AMD processor and 65 watts for the Intel processor.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS uses AMD Socket FP7, whereas the Intel Core 9 273PE uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part is built by TSMC on a 4 nm process with 25,000 million transistors and a die size of 178 mm². The Intel part is built by Intel on a 10 nm process, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

Cache hierarchies also differ. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 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.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS supports DDR5 only, while the Intel Core 9 273PE supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus, and both have a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity is different. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics are also different: the AMD part uses Radeon 780M, and the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730.

The market segments differ. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is a mobile processor, and the Intel Core 9 273PE is a desktop processor. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The release dates are 2024-04-15 for the AMD part and 2026-03-08 for the Intel part. The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $549; the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS belongs to the 8000 series and uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename. Its generation is listed as Ryzen 7 (Zen 4 (Hawk Point)). The Intel Core 9 273PE is a Core 9 part under the Bartlett Lake codename, with no architecture field recorded in the database. Its generation is listed as Core 9 (Bartlett Lake).

The process nodes reflect the foundry split. AMD uses TSMC’s 4 nm process with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. Intel uses its own 10 nm process, with no transistor or die-size data recorded. The Intel part’s larger L2 cache per core, at 2 MB versus 1 MB, and larger shared L3, at 36 MB versus 16 MB, are structural differences that align with its higher core count and thread count.

The AMD part’s integrated graphics solution is the Radeon 780M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. Both processors support ECC memory, but the AMD part is limited to DDR5, whereas the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5. The PCIe generation differs, with AMD on Gen 4 and Intel on Gen 5, although Intel exposes fewer CPU lanes at 16 versus AMD’s 20.

The TDP figures indicate a substantial power envelope difference, 28 watts for the AMD mobile part versus 65 watts for the Intel desktop part, which helps explain the Intel part’s higher boost clock of 5.70 GHz and its dominant multi-core benchmark results. The AMD part’s lower base clock of 3.30 GHz versus 2.30 GHz for Intel does not translate into a performance win in the recorded benchmarks, as Intel leads in all Cinebench tests and in all but one PassMark subtest family.
