AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS vs Intel Core 9 273PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data shows a decisive, one-sided performance landscape between the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS and the Intel Core 9 273PQE. Across all 17 head-to-head tests, the Intel processor wins outright, with the AMD chip never taking a single test. The margin is substantial in nearly every category, ranging from a modest 17.7% gap in single-threaded PassMark results to a towering 56.1% deficit for AMD in prime-number finding.

In Cinebench, the Intel part delivers a consistent 37.3% advantage across all six tests, covering R15, R20, and R23 in both single-core and multi-core configurations. The R23 multi-core score tells the story clearly: Intel scores 39,190 against AMD's 24,565. The single-core R23 result of 5,532 versus 3,468 reinforces that the Intel architecture holds a commanding lead in both throughput and per-thread performance. This uniformity suggests a fundamental performance gap rather than a workload-specific quirk.

The PassMark suite reveals where the gap widens and narrows. The smallest delta appears in random string sorting, where Intel leads by 21.3% (53,167 versus 41,867). Single-thread performance also shows a relatively contained 17.7% edge for Intel (4,573 versus 3,762). However, the gap explodes in floating-point math, where Intel's 125,546 nearly doubles AMD's 58,965, a 53% shortfall for the Ryzen chip. Prime-number finding is the most lopsided test: Intel's 198 versus AMD's 87 represents a 56.1% deficit. Data compression shows Intel ahead by 41.3% (585,752 versus 343,952), while integer math trails by 40.7% (164,629 versus 97,625).

The average benchmark scores encapsulate the overall picture. Intel's average across the suite sits at 66,099, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. AMD's average is 39,325, good for the 86th percentile. That places the Intel part roughly 68% higher in average score, a chasm that no single workload can bridge.

Where Each One Wins

There are no benchmark wins for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS in the recorded data. Every one of the 17 tests goes to the Intel Core 9 273PQE. The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, which it edges by 0.3%, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, which beats it by 1.1%. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS, by contrast, sits close to the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS (0.7% behind) and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 (0.4% ahead), as well as the Intel Core i7-13700F (0.8% ahead). This places the AMD chip in a far lower performance tier, competing with mid-range parts rather than flagship silicon.

For workloads that stress integer arithmetic, data compression, or encryption, the Intel processor's lead is decisive but not uniform. The 40.7% integer math advantage and 41.3% compression edge indicate strong general-purpose compute. Encryption shows a tighter 30.9% margin, while extended instructions land at 34.4%. These gaps suggest that the Intel part's higher core count and larger cache translate into broad multi-threaded superiority.

The AMD chip does not have a single category where it narrows the gap below 17.7%. Even its best relative showing, single-thread PassMark, leaves it nearly a fifth behind. The Ryzen's 8-core, 16-thread configuration simply cannot match the Intel's 12-core, 24-thread setup in any measured workload. The data offers no scenario where the AMD processor emerges as the preferable choice based purely on performance metrics.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It packs 25,000 million transistors into a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 9 273PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename on a 10 nm process from Intel's own fabs, with no transistor or die size figures recorded in the database.

Core configurations diverge sharply. AMD offers 8 cores and 16 threads, while Intel provides 12 cores and 24 threads. The Intel part's base clock sits at 3.40 GHz with a boost of 5.90 GHz, while AMD runs a 3.80 GHz base and 5.10 GHz boost. The Intel chip's higher boost clock contributes to its single-thread dominance, though the core count differential drives the multi-thread results.

Cache hierarchies also differ. AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel gives each core 80 KB of L1, 2 MB of L2, and a much larger 36 MB of shared L3. The Intel L3 cache is more than double AMD's, which helps explain the compression and encryption advantages where data residency matters.

Memory support shows another split. AMD supports DDR5 only, dual-channel, with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and ECC capability. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel with the same 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and ECC. The Intel part's broader memory compatibility offers flexibility, though the recorded bandwidth figure is identical.

PCIe connectivity differs in generation and lane count. AMD provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The Intel interface is newer and faster per lane, but AMD provides more total lanes. Integrated graphics also diverge: AMD uses the Radeon 780M, while Intel employs UHD Graphics 770.

Socket and market positioning separate the two entirely. AMD uses Socket FP7 and targets the mobile segment, with a TDP of 45 watts. Intel uses Socket 1700, targets the desktop segment, and carries a TDP of 125 watts. The Intel part's launch MSRP is $589. The AMD chip's release date is April 15, 2024, while the Intel part arrives nearly two years later on March 8, 2026.

The Verdict

The benchmark data provides no ambiguity. The Intel Core 9 273PQE wins every single recorded test against the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS. The Intel part's 93rd percentile standing versus AMD's 86th percentile reflects a clear tier separation. For users prioritizing raw performance, the Intel processor is the only choice supported by this data.

The AMD chip's nearest rivals in the database are not the Intel Core 9 but rather the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS and AMD Ryzen AI 7 450, both within 0.7% of its average score. The Intel Core 9 273PQE, meanwhile, trades blows with the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, parts that sit in a much higher performance bracket. The head-to-head results confirm that AMD's mobile-oriented chip cannot compete with Intel's desktop-oriented part in any measured metric.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Intel part's 12 cores and 24 threads, combined with its 36 MB L3 cache, produce leads of 37.3% in Cinebench and 38% in PassMark multithread. For single-thread tasks, the Intel boost clock of 5.90 GHz delivers a 17.7% edge in PassMark single-thread and 37.3% in Cinebench R23 single-core. The only scenario where the AMD chip looks remotely competitive is random string sorting, where the gap narrows to 21.3%, but even there Intel wins.

The data does not support any use case where the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS outperforms the Intel Core 9 273PQE. The Intel part's higher core count, larger cache, faster boost clock, and newer PCIe Gen 5 interface give it a comprehensive advantage. The AMD chip's 4 nm process and smaller die do not translate into any measured performance benefit in this comparison.
