AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core 9 273PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a complete benchmark profile for the Intel Core 9 273PQE, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 entry has no submitted benchmark scores, resulting in a 0 to 0 win split in direct comparisons. The Intel processor's average benchmark score of 66099 places it at the 93rd percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database. The AMD part's percentile stands at 50, but with an average score of 0, this percentile reflects the absence of measured data rather than a performance tier. Any head-to-head analysis must therefore rely on the Intel processor's absolute results and its position against comparable parts.

In Cinebench R15 multicore, the Intel Core 9 273PQE scores 3950 points, while its single-core result is 557 points. The R20 iteration shows 16459 points in multicore and 2323 points in single-core. The R23 run delivers 39190 points multicore and 5532 points single-core. These results show a multicore scaling pattern consistent with a 12-core, 24-thread configuration. The single-core scores scale upward across the three Cinebench generations, with the R23 single-core figure of 5532 representing a substantial per-thread capability.

PassMark results add further detail. The multithread score is 46107, and the single-thread score is 4573. Integer math reaches 164629 points, floating-point math reaches 125546 points, and extended instructions (SIMD-style workloads) hit 38743 points. Data compression scores 585752, while data encryption scores 29636. Prime number finding returns 198 points, physics simulation 2754 points, and random string sorting 53167 points. The encryption figure is notably lower than the compression figure, which indicates that the processor's throughput on cryptographic workloads is more modest relative to its strong compression performance.

Against the nearest rivals in the database, the Intel Core 9 273PQE sits within a narrow band. It trails the Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus by 0.1 percent (66159 versus 66099). It leads the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D by 0.3 percent (65914 versus 66099). It sits 1.1 percent behind the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus (66855) and 1.2 percent behind the AMD EPYC 4465P (66925). These deltas are small, all within roughly one percentage point, which places the Core 9 273PQE in a tightly contested performance cluster. The data shows that the Intel part is competitive with flagship-class desktop processors from both manufacturers, though it does not hold a decisive lead over any of them.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark scores in the database, so no Cinebench or PassMark figures exist for comparison. The wins column for the AMD part is zero, and the wins column for the Intel part is also zero, because no head-to-head benchmarks were submitted. This is a data gap, not a performance verdict. The Intel processor's 93rd percentile ranking and 66099 average score are the only quantitative performance anchors available.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice for workloads that need measured performance: the Intel Core 9 273PQE, because it is the only one of the two with recorded results. Its 93rd percentile ranking and average score of 66099 confirm that it competes at the upper tier of the database. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no submitted benchmarks, so the database cannot verify any performance claim for it. A buyer requiring documented throughput would select the Intel part based on the evidence available.

The Intel processor's nearest rival comparisons show it is virtually tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus (-0.1 percent) and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D (+0.3 percent). The differences are within measurement noise. For users targeting those specific alternatives, the Core 9 273PQE offers no material advantage or disadvantage in aggregate score. It is slightly behind the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and the AMD EPYC 4465P, but again by only about one percent.

The AMD part targets a different usage pattern. It is a mobile processor, uses a 28 watt TDP, and is listed as active in production. The Intel part is a desktop processor with a 125 watt TDP. If the use case is a low-power embedded mobile system, the AMD part's specifications make it the logical candidate, but the database contains no measured scores to confirm its performance. If the use case is raw compute with documented results, the Intel part is the only option with data.

Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, which means overclocking headroom is not part of the decision. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $589, stated once here as the recorded figure. The AMD part has no launch MSRP in the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 9 273PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 9 generation built on Bartlett Lake cores. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no die size recorded in the database.

The core counts differ. The AMD part has 10 cores and 20 threads. The Intel part has 12 cores and 24 threads. Both use an 80 KB L1 cache per core. The L2 cache differs: the AMD part has 1 MB per core, while the Intel part has 2 MB per core. The L3 cache also differs: the AMD part has 16 MB, while the Intel part has 36 MB shared. This gives the Intel part a larger total cache footprint, which can benefit workloads with large working sets.

The process node difference is significant. AMD's 4 nm TSMC process is smaller than Intel's 10 nm process, which typically allows higher transistor density and lower power per transistor. The AMD part's TDP is 28 watts, while the Intel part's TDP is 125 watts. The die size of 233 mm² for the AMD part is recorded, while the Intel die size is absent from the database.
