AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 vs Intel Core 9 273PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data shows a complete sweep for the Intel Core 9 273PQE across all 15 shared tests. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 does not register a single win, with the Intel part leading by margins ranging from 16% to 64%. The largest gap appears in Cinebench R23 single-core, where Intel scores 5532 against AMD's 1992, a delta of -64%. That is the most pronounced single-threaded disparity in the entire comparison.

Multi-core workloads also favor Intel decisively. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel Core 9 273PQE produces 39190 points versus 18698 for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, a -52.3% difference. Cinebench R15 multi-core tells a similar story: Intel scores 3950, AMD 2842, for a -28.1% gap. The floating-point math test shows Intel at 125546 against AMD's 62802, exactly double the score, which corresponds to a -50% delta. Integer math follows with Intel at 164629 and AMD at 101831, a -38.1% difference.

The narrower margins are still meaningful. PassMark single-thread gives Intel 4573 against AMD's 3841, a -16% delta, the closest result in the set. Random string sorting shows Intel at 53167 versus AMD's 39447, a -25.8% gap. Data compression favors Intel with 585752 against 354510, a -39.5% difference. Data encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, physics, and multithread tests all land between -35.2% and -40.9% in favor of Intel.

The average benchmark score reinforces the overall picture. The Intel Core 9 273PQE averages 66099 across the database, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 averages 40048, sitting in the 87th percentile. That difference in average score, roughly 26051 points, aligns with the consistent per-test deltas. The Intel part also sits closer to much higher-end rivals in the database: its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with a delta of 0.3%, the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus at -1.1%, and the AMD EPYC 4465P at -1.2%. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, by contrast, is within 0.7% of the Intel Core i9-13905H and within 0.5% of the AMD Ryzen 9 270, indicating it competes at a lower performance tier.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and target different market segments. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Strix Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI 300 generation. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 9 273PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename in the Core 9 generation, manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no die size recorded in the database.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The AMD part has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel part has 12 cores and 24 threads. Both use an 80 KB L1 cache per core, but L2 cache differs: AMD provides 1 MB per core, Intel provides 2 MB per core. L3 cache shows an even larger gap. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 has 16 MB of L3, while the Intel Core 9 273PQE has 36 MB shared. That extra cache likely contributes to the Intel part's advantage in data-heavy workloads.

Clock speeds also favor Intel. The AMD chip has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel chip runs at a 3.40 GHz base and 5.90 GHz boost. The higher base clock is particularly relevant for sustained workloads, and the boost advantage helps single-threaded responsiveness.

Memory support shows some overlap but also clear differences. Both support dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel Core 9 273PQE supports DDR4 and DDR5. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not. PCIe generations differ: AMD uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

The integrated graphics differ as well. AMD pairs the Ryzen AI 9 365 with the Radeon 880M, while Intel uses the UHD Graphics 770. The market segments reflect their intended use: the AMD part is mobile, the Intel part is desktop. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $589. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. The AMD part uses the AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The Intel part carries a 125 W TDP, while the AMD part is rated at 28 W, which explains the Intel part's higher performance ceiling and the AMD part's suitability for power-constrained systems.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded benchmark results, the Intel Core 9 273PQE wins every measured category. There are no tests in the database where the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 comes out ahead. That includes single-threaded tests, multi-threaded tests, encryption, compression, physics simulation, integer math, floating-point math, prime number finding, extended instruction sets, and random string sorting.

For workloads that depend on raw multi-threaded throughput, the Intel part is the stronger choice. Cinebench R23 multi-core at 39190 versus 18698 shows a 52.3% advantage, which translates directly to rendering and video encoding tasks that scale across cores. The floating-point math result, exactly double the AMD score, reinforces this for scientific and engineering applications.

For single-threaded responsiveness, the Intel part also leads, though by a smaller margin. The Cinebench R23 single-core delta of -64% is the largest single-threaded gap, while the PassMark single-thread delta is only -16%. The Intel part's higher boost clock of 5.90 GHz versus 5.00 GHz likely drives much of this advantage, along with the larger L3 cache.

The AMD part remains viable only in scenarios where its 28 W TDP and mobile form factor matter more than raw performance. The database does not record any benchmark in which the AMD part wins, so any use-case advantage for the AMD chip must come from its power envelope, its Radeon 880M integrated graphics, or its mobile socket, none of which are performance metrics in the head-to-head data.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the Intel Core 9 273PQE outperforms the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 in every recorded test. The Intel part leads by double-digit percentages across all categories, with particularly large advantages in Cinebench R23 single-core (-64%), Cinebench R23 multi-core (-52.3%), and floating-point math (-50%). Its average benchmark score of 66099 places it in the 93rd percentile, compared to the AMD part's 87th percentile and 40048 average.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is not competitive on raw performance in this comparison. Its 10-core, 20-thread configuration, 16 MB L3 cache, and lower clock speeds all trail the Intel part's 12-core, 24-thread configuration, 36 MB L3 cache, and higher clocks. The AMD chip does offer a much lower 28 W TDP versus Intel's 125 W, and it targets the mobile segment with the AMD Socket FP8 and Radeon 880M integrated graphics, whereas the Intel part targets desktops with Intel Socket 1700 and UHD Graphics 770.

For users prioritizing raw compute performance, the Intel Core 9 273PQE is the clear choice based on the recorded data. The AMD part only makes sense in power-sensitive mobile designs where its 28 W TDP and mobile platform are the deciding factors. The database shows no performance scenario where the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 takes the lead.
