Intel Core 9 273PE vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 9 273PE and the Intel Core i5-110 occupy different tiers in the database, and the recorded measurements reflect a substantial performance separation. The Core 9 273PE has a full set of benchmark scores, while the Core i5-110 has no recorded benchmark entries in the database. This absence of data for the i5-110 means a direct score-for-score comparison is not possible from the recorded measurements. The analysis must therefore rely on the architectural specifications and the established percentile positions of both processors.

The Core 9 273PE sits at the 90th percentile of all CPUs in the database, which places it in the upper decile of measured processors. The Core i5-110 sits at the 50th percentile, exactly the median position. The delta between these two percentile ranks indicates that the Core 9 273PE is positioned significantly higher in the performance distribution. The average benchmark score for the Core 9 273PE is 49845, while the average benchmark score for the Core i5-110 is listed as 0, confirming that no averaged performance data exists for the i5-110.

The Core 9 273PE's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its performance level. It is 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388, which has an average score of 49796. It is 0.9% ahead of the Intel Core i5-14600KF, which has an average score of 49394. The Core 9 273PE is 1.1% behind the Intel Core i9-13980HX, which has an average score of 50398, and 1.2% behind the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370, which has an average score of 50448. These narrow deltas place the Core 9 273PE in a tight cluster of high-performing processors, all within roughly one to two percent of each other.

Within its own benchmark suite, the Core 9 273PE shows notable strengths in specific workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score is 31288, while the single-core score is 4417. The Cinebench R20 multicore score is 13140, and the single-core score is 1855. The Cinebench R15 multicore score is 3153, with a single-core score of 445. The Passmark multithread score is 36810, and the Passmark single-thread score is 3650. The data compression score of 405885 is particularly high, while the find prime numbers score of 203 is comparatively low, indicating a workload-specific strength in compression tasks relative to prime number calculations.

The Core i5-110, with no benchmark scores in the database, cannot be placed in any workload-specific comparison. Its 50th percentile rank suggests it is a median performer among all CPUs but gives no detail on which tasks it handles well or poorly. The database records no head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors, and the wins count for each is zero.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations and manufacturing processes. The Intel Core 9 273PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 9 (Bartlett Lake) generation. It is built on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry. The Intel Core i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture and codename, belongs to the Core i5 (Comet Lake) generation, and is built on a 14 nm process node, also at Intel. The Core 9 273PE uses a newer, smaller process node, which typically allows for higher transistor density and improved power efficiency, though the database does not record transistor counts or die sizes for either processor.

The core and thread counts differ substantially. The Core 9 273PE has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Core i5-110 has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Core 9 273PE doubles the core count and thread count of the i5-110. The base clock of the Core 9 273PE is 2.30 GHz, while the i5-110 has a higher base clock of 2.90 GHz. The boost clock reverses this relationship: the Core 9 273PE boosts to 5.70 GHz, while the i5-110 boosts to 4.30 GHz. The Core 9 273PE has a 1.40 GHz higher maximum boost clock.

Cache hierarchies differ across all three levels. The Core 9 273PE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-110 has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 256 KB of L2 cache per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core 9 273PE has three times the L3 cache of the i5-110 and significantly more L2 cache per core.

Memory support diverges as well. The Core 9 273PE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the Core i5-110 supports DDR4 only. Both use a dual-channel memory bus. The memory bandwidth figures differ markedly: the Core 9 273PE records 89.6 GB/s, while the i5-110 records 42.7 GB/s. The Core 9 273PE has more than double the memory bandwidth of the i5-110. ECC memory support is present on the Core 9 273PE and absent on the i5-110.

The PCIe interfaces also differ. The Core 9 273PE uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the i5-110 uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics differ as well: the Core 9 273PE uses UHD Graphics 730, and the i5-110 uses UHD Graphics 630. Both processors have locked multipliers, and both are classified as desktop market segments with active production status. The sockets are different: the Core 9 273PE uses Intel Socket 1700, and the i5-110 uses Intel Socket 1200.

The two processors share several specifications. Both have a TDP of 65 watts, both are manufactured by Intel, both use a dual-channel memory bus, both are desktop market segments, both have active production status, and both have locked multipliers. The Core 9 273PE supports ECC memory, while the i5-110 does not.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PE wins in every category where recorded data exists. Its 12 cores and 24 threads give it a structural advantage in multithreaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 31288 and the Passmark multithread score of 36810 indicate strong parallel processing capability. The 36 MB of shared L3 cache and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth support data-heavy tasks. The PCIe Gen 5 interface and DDR5 memory support position it for newer platforms and higher-bandwidth peripherals. The 90th percentile rank places it among the top 10 percent of all CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core i5-110 wins in specific specification-level comparisons where the Core 9 273PE does not lead. It has a higher base clock at 2.90 GHz compared to 2.30 GHz. It has a lower launch MSRP at $200 compared to $549. It uses a smaller platform with Intel Socket 1200, which may correspond to a different installed base, though the database does not record platform costs or compatibility details beyond the socket names.

The i5-110 has no benchmark scores in the database, so no workload-based wins can be assigned to it. Its 50th percentile rank indicates a median position among all CPUs, but the absence of individual test scores means the database provides no evidence of a specific workload where it outperforms the Core 9 273PE. The wins count for both processors is zero in the head-to-head benchmark category, as no such tests are recorded.

The Core 9 273PE is also supported by its nearest rival comparisons. It is 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 and 0.9% ahead of the Intel Core i5-14600KF. It trails the Intel Core i9-13980HX by 1.1% and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 by 1.2%. These deltas show the Core 9 273PE sits in a competitive band with other high-end processors, within a narrow margin of roughly one percent in either direction.

For use-case allocation based on the recorded data, the Core 9 273PE is the processor for multithreaded rendering, compression, and encryption workloads. The Passmark data compression score of 405885 and the data encryption score of 22719 are its highest relative outputs. The floating point math score of 107884 and integer math score of 139410 further support compute-heavy applications. The Core i5-110, lacking benchmark data, cannot be assigned a specific workload advantage from the database. Its higher base clock and lower core count suggest a different operational profile, but the database records no measurements to confirm any performance outcome.
