Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data shows a complete sweep in favor of the Intel Core 9 273PE. Across all 17 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, the Core 9 273PE takes the win with zero wins for the Intel Core i3-14100T. This is not a close contest in any category, but the margin varies significantly by workload type.

The Core 9 273PE dominates in heavily multithreaded workloads. Cinebench R23 multicore shows 31288 points against 11612 points, a 169.4% advantage. Cinebench R20 multicore delivers 13140 against 4877, and Cinebench R15 multicore delivers 3153 against 1170, both with deltas around 169.4% to 169.5%. PassMark multithread shows 36810 versus 13662, a 169.4% gap. These results indicate that rendering, video encoding, and other parallel workloads will show roughly 2.7 times the throughput on the Core 9 273PE.

The single-thread results tell a different story. The Core 9 273PE still wins, but the margin in PassMark single-thread is only 4.3%: 3650 against 3498. This suggests that for lightly threaded tasks such as everyday desktop response, the Core i3-14100T competes much more closely. However, the Cinebench single-core results show a much larger gap: R23 single-core scores 4417 versus 1639, a 169.5% difference, and R20 single-core scores 1855 versus 688. The PassMark single-thread test appears to be far less sensitive to the architectural and frequency differences between the two parts.

Specialized math and encryption workloads show the largest deltas. PassMark find prime numbers gives the Core 9 273PE a 262.5% advantage (203 versus 56). PassMark integer math shows a 246% advantage (139410 versus 40292). PassMark floating point math shows a 243.8% advantage (107884 versus 31379). PassMark physics shows a 220.7% advantage (3120 versus 973). PassMark random string sorting shows a 189.5% advantage (45098 versus 15579). PassMark data encryption shows a 188.3% advantage (22719 versus 7881). PassMark data compression shows a 165.9% advantage (405885 versus 152636). The smallest specialized gap is in PassMark extended instructions, where the Core 9 273PE leads by 136.5% (24630 versus 10414).

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 9 273PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is listed as part of the Core 9 (Bartlett Lake) generation. It is built on a 10 nm process node with Intel as the foundry. The Intel Core i3-14100T uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, and also uses a 10 nm process node with Intel as the foundry. Both parts therefore share the same process technology, but they come from different architectural generations.

The core configuration differs sharply. The Core 9 273PE provides 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Core i3-14100T provides 4 cores and 8 threads. The Core 9 273PE therefore delivers triple the core count and triple the thread count. The per-core L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core. The L2 cache differs: the Core 9 273PE has 2 MB per core, while the Core i3-14100T has 1.25 MB per core. The shared L3 cache also differs, with 36 MB on the Core 9 273PE versus 12 MB on the Core i3-14100T. The larger L3 cache on the Core 9 273PE is three times the capacity of the Core i3-14100T, which helps with data reuse across the higher core count.

The Core i3-14100T lists a die size of 163 mm², while the Core 9 273PE has no die size recorded. Neither part records a transistor count. The integrated graphics are identical: both use UHD Graphics 730. Both processors support PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Both use the Intel Socket 1700. The production status for both is Active.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data records 17 benchmark comparisons, and the Intel Core 9 273PE wins all 17. The most decisive single result is PassMark find prime numbers, where the Core 9 273PE scores 203 against 56 for the Core i3-14100T, a 262.5% delta. This workload is strongly dependent on integer throughput and cache behavior, both areas where the Core 9 273PE has a structural advantage from its 12 cores and larger L3 cache.

PassMark integer math shows a 246% delta, with 139410 points against 40292. PassMark floating point math shows a 243.8% delta, with 107884 points against 31379. These two results indicate that raw arithmetic throughput scales almost linearly with the core and thread count advantage. PassMark physics shows a 220.7% delta, with 3120 points against 973. PassMark random string sorting shows a 189.5% delta, with 45098 points against 15579. PassMark data encryption shows a 188.3% delta, with 22719 points against 7881.

The Cinebench suite produces remarkably consistent deltas across all six tests. Cinebench R15 multicore shows 3153 against 1170, a 169.5% delta. Cinebench R15 singlecore shows 445 against 165, a 169.7% delta. Cinebench R20 multicore shows 13140 against 4877, a 169.4% delta. Cinebench R20 singlecore shows 1855 against 688, a 169.6% delta. Cinebench R23 multicore shows 31288 against 11612, a 169.4% delta. Cinebench R23 singlecore shows 4417 against 1639, a 169.5% delta. The consistency across versions and across single versus multi-core variants suggests that the Cinebench workload scales with the core count and boost clock in a nearly fixed proportion between these two parts.

PassMark multithread shows 36810 against 13662, a 169.4% delta, matching the Cinebench multicore pattern closely. PassMark data compression shows 405885 against 152636, a 165.9% delta. PassMark extended instructions shows 24630 against 10414, a 136.5% delta, the smallest specialized-workload gap after the PassMark single-thread result.

The closest result in the entire comparison is PassMark single-thread, where the Core 9 273PE scores 3650 and the Core i3-14100T scores 3498, a 4.3% delta. This result appears twice in the data under the test names passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread, both recording identical scores. The narrow margin indicates that for a single execution thread, the higher boost clock of the Core 9 273PE (5.70 GHz versus 4.40 GHz) does not translate into a proportional performance gain in this particular test. The Core i3-14100T's higher base clock of 2.70 GHz, compared to 2.30 GHz on the Core 9 273PE, may partially compensate in short single-thread bursts.

The nearest rival data for the Core 9 273PE places its average score of 49845 close to the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 at 49796, a 0.1% delta, and the Intel Core i5-14600KF at 49394, a 0.9% delta. It trails the Intel Core i9-13980HX by 1.1% and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 by 1.2%. The Core i3-14100T's nearest rivals cluster tightly around its 17648 average score, with the Intel Core i3-13100F at 17653, the Intel Core i7-1255U at 17656, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE at 17614, and the AMD EPYC 9374F at 17693. The Core i3-14100T therefore sits within a 0.3% band of its closest competitors, while the Core 9 273PE sits within a 2.1% band of its closest competitors.
