Intel Core 9 273PE vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 9 273PE and the Intel Core i5-14401TE present two distinctly different performance tiers within the same Intel Socket 1700 platform. The database contains a complete benchmark profile for the Core 9 273PE, while the Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores. This asymmetry in available data means the quantitative comparison rests entirely on the Core 9 273PE's recorded results and its standing against other processors in the database.

The Core 9 273PE delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31,288 points and a single-core score of 4,417 points. Its Cinebench R20 results show 13,140 in multi-core and 1,855 in single-core, while the older Cinebench R15 test records 3,153 multi-core and 445 single-core. These scores place the processor at the 90th percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database, with an average benchmark score of 49,845.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for interpreting the Core 9 273PE's performance. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 posts an average score of 49,796, putting the Core 9 273PE just 0.1% ahead. The Intel Core i5-14600KF scores 49,394 on average, which the Core 9 273PE leads by 0.9%. Against the Intel Core i9-13980HX, the Core 9 273PE trails by 1.1%, and it sits 1.2% behind the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370, which averages 50,448.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Core 9 273PE is positioned as a high-performance desktop processor within the 90th percentile of all CPUs tracked. Its 12 cores and 24 threads, combined with a boost clock of 5.70 GHz, place it in competition with recent high-end parts from both AMD and Intel, as shown by the narrow delta percentages against its nearest rivals.

The Core i5-14401TE, with 6 cores and 12 threads and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, occupies a lower performance tier by specification. Its lack of recorded benchmark scores means the database cannot yet quantify its actual performance, but its 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs suggests it is expected to fall in the mid-range of the distribution.

For workloads that benefit from multi-threading, such as rendering or data compression, the Core 9 273PE's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31,288 and PassMark multi-thread score of 36,810 indicate strong parallel throughput. For single-threaded tasks, the 5.70 GHz boost clock and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,417 show competitive latency performance.

The Core i5-14401TE targets a different segment: lower core count, lower clock speeds, and a 45 W TDP versus the Core 9 273PE's 65 W TDP. Users requiring maximum throughput should select the Core 9 273PE based on its recorded results. Users constrained by power envelopes or lighter workloads may find the Core i5-14401TE sufficient, though the database has no measurements to confirm its performance level.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across several core specifications. The Core 9 273PE uses 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Core i5-14401TE uses 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks differ: 2.30 GHz for the Core 9 273PE versus 2.00 GHz for the Core i5-14401TE. Boost clocks also diverge, with the Core 9 273PE reaching 5.70 GHz and the Core i5-14401TE reaching 4.50 GHz.

Thermal design power differs substantially: the Core 9 273PE is rated at 65 W, while the Core i5-14401TE is rated at 45 W. Both processors use the Intel Socket 1700 and are built on a 10 nm process node at Intel as the foundry.

Cache configurations differ in L2 and L3 capacity. The Core 9 273PE features 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14401TE features 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. Both list 80 KB of L1 cache per core.

Memory support is identical in type: both support DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration. The Core 9 273PE records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Core i5-14401TE has no memory bandwidth figure listed. Both support ECC memory and use Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes (CPU only). Both integrate UHD Graphics 730.

The Core 9 273PE has a die size that is not recorded, while the Core i5-14401TE lists a die size of 215 mm². Neither processor has a recorded transistor count. Both are marked as Active in production status, and both have locked multipliers.

Release dates differ: the Core 9 273PE was released on 2026-03-08, while the Core i5-14401TE was released on 2024-06-30. The Core 9 273PE has a launch MSRP of $549; the Core i5-14401TE has none recorded. Part numbers also differ: SA4QD for the Core 9 273PE and Q4T4SRNJP for the Core i5-14401TE.

Architecture Differences

The Core 9 273PE belongs to the Bartlett Lake codename and is listed under the generation "Core 9 (Bartlett Lake)". The Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R and belongs to the generation "Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh)". Both are built on a 10 nm process at Intel's foundry.

The architectural differences are reflected in core organization and cache hierarchy. Bartlett Lake, as implemented in the Core 9 273PE, provides 12 cores with 24 threads and a larger shared L3 cache of 36 MB. Per-core L2 cache is 2 MB. Raptor Lake Refresh, as implemented in the Core i5-14401TE, provides 6 cores with 12 threads, a shared L3 cache of 20 MB, and per-core L2 cache of 1.25 MB.

The die size difference is notable: the Core i5-14401TE lists a die size of 215 mm², while the Core 9 273PE has no die size recorded. This suggests the Bartlett Lake die may differ physically from the Raptor Lake-R die, though the database does not provide a measurement for comparison.

Both architectures share the same integrated graphics solution, UHD Graphics 730, and the same PCIe configuration of Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and both support ECC memory.

The release timeline places Raptor Lake Refresh first, with the Core i5-14401TE appearing on 2024-06-30. Bartlett Lake followed later, with the Core 9 273PE appearing on 2026-03-08. The Core 9 273PE's higher core count, larger caches, and higher clock speeds indicate a newer, more capable implementation within the same socket and process node.
