AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Core 9 273PQE Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Core 9 273PQE

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark measurements for these two processors, so a direct score comparison is impossible. However, the Intel Core 9 273PQE has an extensive recorded benchmark suite, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no recorded scores. The Intel part achieves a 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 66,099. The AMD processor sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, indicating no completed measurements in the current database. The only quantitative comparison available is through the Intel chip's nearest rivals, which show it trading blows with high-end desktop parts.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database holds no shared benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 and the Intel Core 9 273PQE. The head-to-head comparison array is empty, and the win counters show zero for both processors. For the AMD chip, every benchmark field is blank, meaning there are no cinebench, passmark, or other recorded scores to analyze. The Intel Core 9 273PQE, by contrast, has 17 recorded benchmark entries covering rendering, encryption, compression, and math workloads.

The Intel Core 9 273PQE delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39,190 and a single-core score of 5,532. In Cinebench R20, it records 16,459 multi-core and 2,323 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 3,950 multi-core and 557 single-core. Passmark results for the Intel chip include a multi-thread score of 46,107, a single-thread score of 4,573, integer math at 164,629, and floating point math at 125,546. Data compression scores 585,752, while data encryption reaches 29,636. Extended instructions hit 38,743, prime number finding scores 198, physics reaches 2,754, and random string sorting lands at 53,167.

Because the AMD side has no measurements, there are no winning workloads for either processor, no percentage deltas, and no comparative verdicts from direct testing. The Intel chip's nearest rivals in the database provide the only relational context. The Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus averages 66,159, which is 0.1% above the Core 9 273PQE. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D averages 65,914, 0.3% below. The Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus averages 66,855, 1.1% higher, and the AMD EPYC 4465P averages 66,925, 1.2% higher. These deltas are all small, placing the Core 9 273PQE within a tight performance cluster.

Where Each One Wins

With zero recorded benchmarks for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, the data cannot assign any workload victory to it. The Intel Core 9 273PQE holds every recorded score in the database, but those scores only prove its own capability, not superiority over the AMD part in any measured test. The Intel chip's multi-threaded performance, as shown by Cinebench R23 at 39,190 and Passmark multi-thread at 46,107, indicates strong parallel workload handling. Its single-thread Cinebench R23 result of 5,532 and Passmark single-thread of 4,573 suggest competitive per-core performance for lightly threaded tasks.

The AMD processor's architecture, with 16 cores and 32 threads, would typically favor heavily threaded workloads, but no benchmark confirms this. The Intel chip, with 12 cores and 24 threads, records lower core and thread counts but a higher boost clock at 5.90 GHz compared to 5.20 GHz. The database shows the Intel part's TDP at 125 watts versus 55 watts for the AMD, implying the Intel chip draws more power under load. Without test data, any statement about which processor wins specific application categories remains unsupported by measurements.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 uses the Gorgon Halo codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO generation built on Zen 5. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC and has a die size of 2x 70.6 mm². The Intel Core 9 273PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 9 generation. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no die size recorded. These process differences indicate the AMD chip uses a more advanced manufacturing node, which typically allows higher transistor density and lower power draw per unit of performance.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD processor has 16 cores and 32 threads, while the Intel processor has 12 cores and 24 threads. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD chip has 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel chip has 2 MB per core. L3 cache totals differ as well: the AMD part has 64 MB, while the Intel part has 36 MB shared. The AMD processor's larger L3 cache could benefit workloads with large working sets, though no benchmark confirms this.

Memory support splits the two clearly. The AMD chip uses LPDDR5X memory with a quad-channel bus and a recorded bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, uses a dual-channel bus, and records 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD processor's memory bandwidth is roughly three times the Intel chip's figure based on the recorded numbers. Both processors support ECC memory. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, giving the Intel chip a newer and faster external interface standard.

Integrated graphics differ by model. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 includes a Radeon 8065S, while the Intel Core 9 273PQE includes UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part is a mobile segment processor on AMD Socket FP11, while the Intel part is a desktop segment processor on Intel Socket 1700. The AMD chip has a base clock of 3.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel chip has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.90 GHz. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part's release date is recorded as May 19, 2026, while the Intel part's release date is March 8, 2026, making the Intel chip earlier in the database's timeline.

The Verdict

The data supports only one processor with measurable performance, the Intel Core 9 273PQE. It sits at the 93rd percentile among all CPUs and has an average benchmark score of 66,099. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, all fall within 1.2% of its average score, indicating it performs on par with those high-end parts. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no recorded average score, no percentile above the 50th mark, and no benchmark entries, so the database cannot substantiate any performance claim for it.

For users selecting based on recorded data, the Intel Core 9 273PQE is the only option with verified results. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39,190 and Passmark multi-thread score of 46,107 demonstrate strong parallel capability. Its single-core Cinebench R23 score of 5,532 and Passmark single-thread score of 4,573 show solid lightly threaded performance. The AMD chip offers a higher core count, larger L3 cache, and much higher memory bandwidth in its specifications, but those features have no supporting benchmark numbers in the database. The Intel chip also carries a launch MSRP of $589, which is the only price information available. The verdict from the data is straightforward: the Intel processor has measurable performance, and the AMD processor does not.
