Intel Core 9 273PE vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PE dominates every recorded benchmark in this comparison. The head-to-head data shows 17 benchmark wins for the Core 9 273PE and zero wins for the Core i7-14701TE. This is not a close contest by any metric, but the margin varies substantially depending on the workload type.

The clearest strength for the Core 9 273PE lies in floating-point and integer math throughput. The floating-point math score reaches 107884 against 50219, a 114.8% advantage. Integer math shows a similar pattern at 139410 versus 65792, a 111.9% lead. These are the largest percentage gaps in the entire benchmark set, indicating the Core 9 273PE delivers more than double the raw arithmetic throughput of the Core i7-14701TE.

The Core 9 273PE also excels in memory and data-heavy workloads. Data compression scores 405885 versus 220520, a 84.1% lead, while random string sorting shows a 98.1% advantage at 45098 versus 22760. Data encryption comes in at 22719 versus 11699, a 94.2% gap. These results suggest the Core 9 273PE handles data manipulation tasks with substantially more headroom.

Single-threaded performance favors the Core 9 273PE, but by a smaller margin than the multi-threaded tests. The single-thread score is 3650 versus 2637, a 38.4% advantage. The single-core Cinebench results show a larger relative gap: R23 single-core is 4417 versus 2405, an 83.7% delta. This discrepancy between the PassMark single-thread result and the Cinebench single-core result indicates the Core 9 273PE responds particularly well to the Cinebench workload structure.

The Core i7-14701TE does not win any workload category. Its closest relative performance appears in the prime number search test, where it trails by 42% (203 versus 143). Physics simulation shows a 67.7% gap (3120 versus 1860). Even in its best categories, the Core i7-14701TE remains firmly behind.

For users running multi-threaded render workloads, the Core 9 273PE delivers roughly 83.7% more Cinebench R23 multi-core performance than the Core i7-14701TE. For users whose primary concern is power efficiency in a desktop context, the Core i7-14701TE carries a 45 W TDP compared to the 65 W TDP of the Core 9 273PE. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench suite shows consistent margins across the board. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Core 9 273PE scores 3153 against 1716, a 83.7% lead. R15 single-core shows 445 versus 242, a 83.9% delta. R20 multi-core is 13140 versus 7154, R20 single-core is 1855 versus 1010, and both show 83.7% deltas. R23 multi-core is 31288 versus 17035, and R23 single-core is 4417 versus 2405, again at 83.7%. The consistency of the 83.7% figure across the multi-core Cinebench generations reflects a stable performance ratio regardless of the benchmark version.

The PassMark suite reveals where the Core 9 273PE stretches its lead furthest. Floating-point math shows the largest percentage gap at 114.8%, followed closely by integer math at 111.9%. Random string sorting reaches 98.1%, data encryption 94.2%, and data compression 84.1%. The extended instructions test shows a 71.6% lead, physics 67.7%, and prime number search 42%.

The narrowest margins appear in single-threaded PassMark tests. Both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread report identical scores: 3650 versus 2637, a 38.4% delta. This is the smallest percentage gap in the entire head-to-head dataset, but it is still a decisive win for the Core 9 273PE.

The passmark_multithread score is 36810 versus 20042, an 83.7% delta, matching the Cinebench multi-core pattern. The Core 9 273PE's 12 cores and 24 threads provide the structural basis for these multi-threaded results, while the Core i7-14701TE operates with 8 cores and 16 threads.
