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

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data shows a clear split between the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS and the Intel Core 9 273PTE. The AMD part is built for efficiency-dense mobile workloads with a compact 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 configuration, while the Intel chip is a desktop-oriented 12-core, 24-thread processor with a much higher boost ceiling. In terms of raw multi-threaded throughput, the Intel Core 9 273PTE dominates: its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20,445 and PassMark multi-thread score of 24,054 indicate a substantial lead in rendering, compilation, and other parallel workloads. The AMD 8845HS, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark entries in the database, so its wins are structural rather than measured: it integrates the Radeon 780M graphics, which is a far more capable integrated GPU than Intel's UHD Graphics 730, and it uses a 4 nm TSMC process that should deliver better power efficiency per clock. The Intel part wins on single-thread performance as well, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,886 versus no recorded AMD score, and a PassMark single-thread score of 3,433. For workloads that rely on strong per-core speed, high thread counts, and large shared cache, the Intel Core 9 273PTE is the clear choice. For systems that need a compact embedded processor with strong integrated graphics and a modern 4 nm node, the AMD 8845HS is the pragmatic pick, especially in fanless or low-power designs where the GPU matters.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains benchmark results only for the Intel Core 9 273PTE; the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no recorded scores. Therefore, the head-to-head comparison relies on the Intel chip's absolute numbers and its position against nearest rivals, which include Intel Core i7-12700F, AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, Intel Core i7-13700TE, and Intel Core i7-12650HX.

The Intel Core 9 273PTE scores 20,445 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, which is a strong result for a 12-core, 24-thread desktop processor. Its Cinebench R20 multi-core score is 8,586, and its Cinebench R15 multi-core score is 2,060. In single-thread tests, the chip posts 2,886 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 1,212 in Cinebench R20 single-core, and 290 in Cinebench R15 single-core. These numbers indicate a well-balanced processor that excels in both multi-threaded and single-threaded tasks.

PassMark results further detail the Intel part's strengths. The multi-thread score is 24,054, and the single-thread score is 3,433 (recorded twice, once as single_thread and once as singlethread). In floating point math, the chip scores 60,673, and in integer math it reaches 82,411. Data compression scores 258,704, while data encryption scores 14,253. Extended instructions (SIMD) score 15,952, and random string sorting scores 28,973. The find prime numbers test yields a low score of 142, and physics scores 1,917. These numbers show a processor that handles general computing, compression, and math-heavy workloads very well, but is less optimized for prime-number finding.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the Intel Core 9 273PTE has an average benchmark score of 31,143. It sits 0.2% above the Intel Core i7-12700F (31,081) and 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS (31,074). It is 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13700TE (31,028) and 0.5% behind the Intel Core i7-12650HX (31,290). The 273PTE's percentile ranking against all CPUs is 82, which places it in the upper tier of processors in the database. The AMD 8845HS has a percentile ranking of 50, but with zero benchmark scores recorded, that ranking is not based on measured performance.

The Verdict

The Intel Core 9 273PTE is the performance leader in every measured benchmark category in the database. Its 12 cores, 24 threads, 5.50 GHz boost clock, and 36 MB L3 cache give it a decisive advantage in multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20,445 and PassMark multi-thread score of 24,054 confirm that this is a capable desktop processor for rendering, compilation, and heavy multitasking. Its single-thread score of 2,886 in Cinebench R23 and 3,433 in PassMark also show strong per-core performance. The chip's nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-12700F and AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, are within 0.2% to 0.4% in average score, meaning the 273PTE is competitive but not dominant within its immediate peer group.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS should be chosen for systems where the integrated graphics matter more than raw CPU throughput. The Radeon 780M is a much more capable iGPU than Intel's UHD Graphics 730, making the AMD part suitable for compact media centers, light gaming systems, or embedded applications that need GPU acceleration without a discrete card. The 4 nm process from TSMC also suggests better power efficiency than Intel's 10 nm node, which is relevant for thermal-constrained or battery-powered designs. The AMD part's 5.10 GHz boost clock and 8 cores are sufficient for moderate multi-threading, but the database shows no benchmark scores to quantify its performance.

For a builder who prioritizes CPU compute, the Intel Core 9 273PTE is the obvious pick, given its measured results and higher thread count. For a builder who needs an embedded solution with strong integrated graphics and modern process technology, the AMD 8845HS is the only option that offers that combination. The Intel part's launch MSRP is $549, and it is a desktop processor; the AMD part is a mobile processor with no recorded launch MSRP. The data supports a straightforward choice: Intel for raw performance, AMD for integrated graphics and efficiency-oriented design.
