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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database records 15 direct comparisons between the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS and the Intel Core 9 273PTE. The AMD part wins 9 of those tests, while the Intel part wins 6. The overall average benchmark score for the AMD processor is 39603, which places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel processor averages 31143, landing in the 82nd percentile.

The largest margin of victory belongs to Intel in Cinebench R23 single-core. The Core 9 273PTE scores 2886, which is 40.3% ahead of the Ryzen's 1724. That is a substantial gap in single-threaded rendering performance. The same test in Cinebench R15 shows a narrower Intel lead: 290 versus 271.5, a 6.4% advantage. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS counters in Cinebench R15 multi-core with a score of 2458 against 2060, a 19.3% edge. However, the tables turn in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where Intel's 20445 beats AMD's 14784 by 27.7%. This suggests the Intel part scales better under the longer multi-threaded rendering load.

PassMark tests reveal a clear pattern of specialization. AMD dominates data compression with 311199 against 258704, a 20.3% lead. Data encryption shows AMD ahead by 32.2% (18838 versus 14253). Extended instructions favor AMD even more strongly: 22298 versus 15952, a 39.8% margin. Integer math also goes to AMD, 93342 versus 82411, a 13.3% advantage. Random string sorting sees AMD at 37922 versus Intel's 28973, a 30.9% win. The multithread test records AMD at 26646 versus 24054, a 10.8% lead. Even in single-thread PassMark, AMD wins by 7.5% (3692 versus 3433).

Intel takes the remaining PassMark workloads. Prime number finding shows Intel at 142 versus AMD's 84, a 40.8% margin. Physics simulation favors Intel, 1917 versus 1351, a 29.5% lead. Floating point math goes to Intel, 60673 versus 55739, an 8.1% advantage.

The head-to-head data shows a split personality. For everyday integer-heavy, compression, encryption, and sorting tasks, the AMD chip is consistently faster. For rendering workloads, especially Cinebench R23 multi-core, and for physics simulation and prime number searching, the Intel chip pulls ahead. The delta percentages in the database confirm that neither part is uniformly superior; the workload determines the winner.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different process nodes and foundries. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel Core 9 273PTE uses a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The AMD chip integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel part has no recorded transistor count or die size in the database.

AMD uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, part of the 8000 series. Intel's architecture field is not recorded, but the codename is Bartlett Lake, belonging to the Core 9 generation. The AMD processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel processor has 12 cores and 24 threads. Base clocks differ sharply: AMD runs at 3.30 GHz, Intel at 1.40 GHz. Boost clocks are closer, with AMD at 5.10 GHz and Intel at 5.50 GHz.

Cache layouts differ substantially. AMD provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. The larger total cache on the Intel side (L2 plus L3) likely contributes to its strong Cinebench R23 multi-core result, while AMD's higher base clock and 4 nm process help in bursty integer workloads.

Memory support shows a key difference. The AMD chip supports DDR5 only, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses with identical recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs: AMD provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel part's Gen 5 interface offers newer signaling, but AMD has more lanes.

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD uses the Radeon 780M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The database does not record performance metrics for either iGPU, so no comparison can be made on graphics capability.

The market segments differ. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is a mobile processor, while the Intel Core 9 273PTE is a desktop processor. This explains the TDP difference: AMD is rated at 28 watts, Intel at 45 watts. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP7, while Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. Both are locked (multiplier unlocked: false). The AMD part number is listed as 100-000001353(FP7r2),100-000001381(FP7), and the Intel part number is SA4QJ.

Release dates place the AMD chip in April 2024 and the Intel chip in March 2026. The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $549. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

The Verdict

The data supports a workload-based choice. For users running compression, encryption, integer math, random string sorting, and general multithreaded PassMark workloads, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS delivers higher scores. Its 19.3% lead in Cinebench R15 multi-core and 13.3% lead in integer math indicate a strong showing for office-style productivity and data processing. The 39.8% margin in extended instructions suggests the AMD architecture handles SIMD-style workloads more efficiently.

For users running Cinebench R23 multi-core rendering, physics simulation, prime number searches, and floating point math, the Intel Core 9 273PTE is the better choice. The 27.7% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core is the most striking result in the dataset, given that this test is a common proxy for long-running render tasks. The 29.5% lead in physics and the 40.8% lead in prime number finding reinforce the Intel part's strength in numerically intensive workloads.

The mobile versus desktop distinction matters. The AMD chip operates at 28 watts, making it suitable for thin laptops. The Intel chip operates at 45 watts, which aligns with desktop use. The database records the AMD part as active production and the Intel part as active production, so both are currently available. The Intel part's launch MSRP is $549, stated as recorded.

The average benchmark score difference is notable: AMD at 39603 versus Intel at 31143. That places the AMD part 27.2% higher on an aggregate basis, even though Intel wins the most recent Cinebench R23 test. The percentile rankings reflect this: AMD sits at 87th percentile, Intel at 82nd. Among nearest rivals, AMD's closest competitor is the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an average score of 39768, a delta of -0.4%, meaning the 8840HS trails that chip by just 0.4%. Intel's closest rival is the Intel Core i7-12650HX with an average score of 31290, a delta of -0.5%, meaning the 273PTE trails that chip by 0.5%.
