Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PE and Intel Core i5-14501E serve different tiers within the same socket generation. The Core 9 273PE holds a substantial advantage in multi-threaded workloads due to double the core count and double the thread count. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the Core 9 273PE scores 31288, a figure that reflects its 12-core, 24-thread configuration. The Core i5-14501E, with only 6 cores and 12 threads, cannot match that level of parallel throughput.

The Core i5-14501E has a higher base clock at 3.30 GHz versus 2.30 GHz for the Core 9 273PE, which may benefit lightly threaded tasks that rely on base frequency rather than boost behavior. However, the Core 9 273PE has a higher boost clock at 5.70 GHz versus 5.20 GHz, so in single-threaded burst workloads, the Core 9 273PE should take the lead.

The Core 9 273PE also delivers more L3 cache (36 MB versus 24 MB) and larger per-core L2 cache (2 MB versus 1.25 MB per core). That cache advantage helps in data-intensive workloads, such as compression or scientific computing, where repeated access to working sets is common. Passmark data compression for the Core 9 273PE reaches 405885, while data encryption scores 22719.

The Core i5-14501E offers no benchmark data in the database, so its wins are inferred from its specification profile: lower core count, lower power draw expectations at the same 65 W TDP, and a higher base clock. For users whose workloads are lightly threaded and frequency-sensitive, the base clock advantage could matter. But the recorded data only provides complete benchmark coverage for the Core 9 273PE, so any comparative statement about the Core i5-14501E's performance must be drawn from its specifications alone.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 9 273PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 9 (Bartlett Lake) generation. The Intel Core i5-14501E uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R codename, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series. Both are built on a 10 nm process node and fabricated by Intel.

The core configurations differ sharply. The Core 9 273PE has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Core i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads. That difference is the primary architectural split: one processor is designed for heavy parallel workloads, the other for mainstream tasks with lower thread demand.

Cache hierarchies also differ. The Core 9 273PE has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14501E has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Both share the same L1 cache size at 80 KB per core.

Both processors support DDR4 and DDR5 memory, use a dual-channel memory bus, and support ECC memory. PCIe support is identical: Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Both are desktop parts with active production status and locked multipliers.

The integrated graphics differ. The Core 9 273PE ships with UHD Graphics 730, while the Core i5-14501E ships with UHD Graphics 770. Neither processor is positioned as a gaming-focused part with a high-end iGPU, but the UHD Graphics 770 in the Core i5-14501E is a higher-tier integrated solution than the UHD Graphics 730 in the Core 9 273PE.

The Core i5-14501E has a documented die size of 215 mm², while the Core 9 273PE has no die size recorded in the database. The Core 9 273PE also has no architecture field listed beyond its codename, whereas the Core i5-14501E explicitly lists Raptor Lake as its architecture.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ on several key specification fields. Core count: 12 versus 6. Thread count: 24 versus 12. Base clock: 2.30 GHz versus 3.30 GHz. Boost clock: 5.70 GHz versus 5.20 GHz. L2 cache per core: 2 MB versus 1.25 MB. L3 cache: 36 MB versus 24 MB. Integrated graphics: UHD Graphics 730 versus UHD Graphics 770. Die size: not recorded for the Core 9 273PE, 215 mm² for the Core i5-14501E. Release date: the Core 9 273PE entered the database with a 2026 release date, while the Core i5-14501E has a 2024 release date.

The launch MSRP for the Core 9 273PE is $549. The Core i5-14501E has no launch MSRP recorded.

Memory bandwidth is another difference. The Core 9 273PE has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Core i5-14501E has no memory bandwidth figure in the database.

TDP is identical at 65 W for both. Socket is identical at Intel Socket 1700. Memory support is identical: DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, ECC enabled. PCIe support is identical: Gen 5, 16 lanes from the CPU. Market segment is identical: Desktop. Production status is identical: Active. Multiplier unlocked status is identical: false.

The part numbers differ as well: SA4QD for the Core 9 273PE and Q49HSRNJM for the Core i5-14501E.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the Intel Core 9 273PE and the Intel Core i5-14501E. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero, and the headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. The Core i5-14501E has no individual benchmark scores recorded at all, with an empty benchmarks array and an average benchmark score of zero.

For the Core 9 273PE, the recorded benchmark suite provides a full performance profile. Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 31288, single-core reaches 4417. Cinebench R20 multicore scores 13140, single-core 1855. Cinebench R15 multicore scores 3153, single-core 445. Passmark multithread scores 36810, single-thread scores 3650. Integer math scores 139410, floating point math 107884, extended instructions 24630, data compression 405885, data encryption 22719, find prime numbers 203, random string sorting 45098, and physics 3120.

The Core 9 273PE sits at the 90th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49845. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 with an average score of 49796 and a delta of 0.1 percent, the Intel Core i5-14600KF with an average score of 49394 and a delta of 0.9 percent, the Intel Core i9-13980HX with an average score of 50398 and a delta of -1.1 percent, and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 with an average score of 50448 and a delta of -1.2 percent.

These deltas indicate that the Core 9 273PE trades within a narrow band around its immediate competitors. It sits slightly above the Ryzen AI Max+ 388 and the Core i5-14600KF, and slightly below the Core i9-13980HX and the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370. The margins are small, all within roughly 1.2 percent of the nearest rivals, which suggests that the Core 9 273PE is positioned in a tightly contested performance tier.

The Core i5-14501E sits at the 50th percentile among all CPUs, with no average benchmark score recorded. That places it in the median tier of the database, far below the Core 9 273PE's 90th percentile placement.

The Verdict

The Intel Core 9 273PE is the clear performance leader in this pairing. Its 12 cores and 24 threads, combined with a 5.70 GHz boost clock, 36 MB of L3 cache, and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, place it at the 90th percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 49845 and its proximity to rivals like the Core i9-13980HX and the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 confirm that it competes at the high end of the desktop and mobile workstation spectrum.

The Core i5-14501E occupies a different position. Its 6 cores and 12 threads, 5.20 GHz boost clock, and 24 MB of L3 cache place it at the 50th percentile, the median of the database. With no benchmark scores recorded, its performance cannot be directly compared to the Core 9 273PE in the same tests, but its specification profile indicates a mainstream part intended for less demanding workloads.

Users who need maximum multi-threaded throughput, large cache capacity, and high boost clocks should select the Intel Core 9 273PE. The data shows it outperforms or closely matches several high-end rivals, and its benchmark scores are consistent across rendering, encryption, and math workloads.

Users who prefer a higher base clock, a smaller die footprint, and a more modest core count might consider the Core i5-14501E, particularly for lightly threaded tasks where the 3.30 GHz base frequency provides a steady baseline. However, the recorded data offers no benchmark evidence that the Core i5-14501E can match the Core 9 273PE in any measured workload. The Core 9 273PE remains the stronger choice based on every available metric.
