AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS vs Intel Core 9 273PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark comparison for this pairing is one-sided, as the recorded database contains complete measurement data for only one of the two processors. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no entries in the benchmark results, which means every performance figure available belongs to the Intel Core 9 273PQE. The Intel part delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 39190 and a single-core score of 5532, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 66099 places it in a competitive band, within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and 0.1% below the Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus.

The Intel processor shows particular strength in PassMark multithreaded workloads, scoring 46107, with integer math reaching 164629 and floating-point math at 125546. Data compression scores 585752, while data encryption hits 29636. Single-thread performance in PassMark is recorded at 4573, consistent with the Cinebench R23 single-core result of 5532. Extended instruction testing yields 38743, and random string sorting reaches 53167. Prime number finding scores 198, and physics testing records 2754.

Since the AMD processor has no benchmark entries, there are no direct head-to-head deltas to compute. The database shows zero wins for the AMD side and zero wins for the Intel side because no paired measurements exist. What the data confirms is the Intel Core 9 273PQE, on its own recorded results, operates at a performance level that rivals high-end desktop parts, sitting just 0.3% above the Ryzen 9 7950X3D in average score and 1.1% below the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus. The absence of AMD benchmark data means any comparison must rely on architectural specifications rather than measured output.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying design. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 9 273PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with a 10 nm process fabricated at Intel. The AMD chip integrates 25,000 million transistors on a die size of 178 mm², while the Intel part has no transistor count or die size recorded in the database. These process differences have direct implications for power efficiency and thermal density, though the recorded data does not include efficiency metrics.

Core configurations differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel processor provides 12 cores and 24 threads, a 50% increase in both counts. Clock speeds also favor Intel: the AMD base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost of 5.10 GHz, whereas the Intel base clock is 3.40 GHz with a boost of 5.90 GHz. The Intel part trades a lower base clock for a significantly higher boost ceiling. Thermal design power tells a similar story, with the AMD chip rated at 45 watts and the Intel chip at 125 watts, reflecting the Intel part's higher core count and clock headroom.

Cache hierarchies differ in both size and organization. The AMD processor features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor features 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache, more than double the AMD L3 allocation. Neither processor includes 3D V-Cache. Memory support also diverges: the AMD chip supports DDR5 only with dual-channel configuration, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel. Both parts record the same memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, and both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity marks another distinction. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The newer PCIe standard on the Intel side offers higher per-lane bandwidth, though the AMD side offers more total lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD chip uses Radeon 780M, while the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor belongs to the mobile market segment, while the Intel processor is a desktop part, despite both being active production products.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PQE wins on every measurable performance dimension because it is the only processor with benchmark data. Its multicore scores indicate a strong capability for parallel workloads: Cinebench R15 multicore records 3950, R20 multicore records 16459, and R23 multicore records 39190. The PassMark multithread score of 46107 reinforces this pattern. For single-threaded tasks, the Intel part records R15 single-core of 557, R20 single-core of 2323, and R23 single-core of 5532, with PassMark single-thread at 4573. These figures place the processor in the 93rd percentile overall, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of CPUs in the database.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS wins on efficiency-related specifications, though not on measured benchmarks. Its 45 watt TDP is less than half of the Intel part's 125 watt rating, and its 4 nm process node is two generations ahead of the Intel 10 nm node. The AMD processor also offers more PCIe lanes, 20 versus 16, though at the older Gen 4 standard. The AMD chip's mobile market segment suggests its design targets lower-power embedded applications, while the Intel desktop segment targets higher-throughput stationary workloads. For use cases prioritizing power draw and thermal envelope, the AMD specifications are favorable, but the database contains no performance data to validate that trade-off.

In raw compute, the Intel part leads by specification as well as by benchmark. Its 12 cores and 24 threads exceed the AMD 8 cores and 16 threads, and its 5.90 GHz boost clock tops the AMD 5.10 GHz. The Intel L3 cache of 36 MB more than doubles the AMD 16 MB. For workloads that scale with core count, cache capacity, or maximum clock speed, the Intel processor has the structural advantage. The AMD processor counters with a higher base clock of 3.80 GHz versus 3.40 GHz, which could benefit lightly threaded tasks that stay within base frequency, but no benchmark data confirms this.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an incomplete comparison. The Intel Core 9 273PQE has full benchmark coverage and a percentile rank of 93, with an average score of 66099 that places it within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its multicore capability, demonstrated by a Cinebench R23 score of 39190 and a PassMark multithread score of 46107, positions it for demanding parallel workloads. Its 12 cores, 24 threads, 36 MB of L3 cache, and 5.90 GHz boost clock provide structural support for that measured performance. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no benchmark entries, so its measured performance cannot be assessed. Its specifications indicate a lower-power design: 45 watt TDP, 4 nm process, 8 cores, and 16 threads, with a 5.10 GHz boost clock.

For workloads where measured performance matters, the Intel processor is the only option with data, and that data is strong. The 93rd percentile ranking and scores comparable to high-end desktop rivals make it a defensible choice for compute-heavy applications. The AMD processor, with its mobile segment designation and lower thermal envelope, suits scenarios where power draw is the primary constraint, but the database provides no numbers to confirm its performance in that role. The Intel Core 9 273PQE, with a launch MSRP of $589, delivers the recorded performance for users who prioritize throughput. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS remains a specification-driven option for embedded or power-sensitive designs, but no benchmark evidence supports a performance claim. The choice hinges on whether measured performance or specified efficiency takes precedence, and the data only supports the former.
