Intel Core 9 273PE vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite for the Intel Core 9 273PE, but the Intel Core i9-14901TE has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes a direct head-to-head comparison impossible from measured data. The Core 9 273PE posts an average benchmark score of 49845, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The i9-14901TE sits in the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, indicating that no performance measurements have been logged for this part.

The Core 9 273PE delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31288 and a single-core score of 4417. In Cinebench R20, it scores 13140 multi-core and 1855 single-core. The R15 results show 3153 multi-core and 445 single-core. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 36810, a single-thread score of 3650, integer math at 139410, floating point math at 107884, extended instructions at 24630, data compression at 405885, data encryption at 22719, physics at 3120, random string sorting at 45098, and find prime numbers at 203.

The nearest rivals in the database for the Core 9 273PE provide context. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 scores 49796 on average, a delta of 0.1% relative to the Core 9 273PE. The Intel Core i5-14600KF scores 49394, which is 0.9% behind. The Intel Core i9-13980HX scores 50398, putting it 1.1% ahead. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 scores 50448, 1.2% ahead. These margins are narrow, indicating the Core 9 273PE sits in a tightly contested performance band.

The i9-14901TE has no rival data and no benchmark entries. Its 50th percentile ranking is based on specifications alone, not measured performance. The database shows zero wins for either processor in head-to-head tests, as no head-to-head benchmarks exist for this pair.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same Intel Socket 1700 and the same 10 nm process node from Intel's foundry. Both use dual-channel memory and support DDR4 and DDR5. Both support ECC memory and both expose PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes. Both have locked multipliers.

The Core 9 273PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 9 generation. The i9-14901TE uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, and is built on the Raptor Lake architecture. This generational split explains several specification differences.

Core counts diverge sharply. The Core 9 273PE has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the i9-14901TE has 8 cores and 16 threads. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 2 MB of L2 cache per core. Both share 36 MB of L3 cache. The cache hierarchy is identical in per-core sizing, but the Core 9 273PE benefits from 50% more cores, which scales its aggregate L1 and L2 capacity accordingly.

Clock speeds differ at the top end. The Core 9 273PE boosts to 5.70 GHz, while the i9-14901TE boosts to 5.50 GHz. Both start at a 2.30 GHz base clock. The Core 9 273PE has a 65 W TDP, the i9-14901TE has a 45 W TDP. The lower TDP on the i9-14901TE suggests a power-constrained design, though the database does not record measured power draw.

The integrated graphics differ. The Core 9 273PE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the i9-14901TE uses UHD Graphics 770. The die size for the i9-14901TE is recorded as 257 mm²; the Core 9 273PE has no die size entry. The Core 9 273PE supports memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; the i9-14901TE has no bandwidth figure recorded.

Release dates place the i9-14901TE earlier at 2024-06-30, while the Core 9 273PE arrived on 2026-03-08. The i9-14901TE carries part number Q49CSRNJJ, the Core 9 273PE carries part number SA4QD.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 9 273PE wins on raw multi-threaded throughput based on its 12-core, 24-thread configuration. The recorded Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31288 and PassMark multi-thread score of 36810 demonstrate strong parallel performance. The 24 threads give it a structural advantage in heavily threaded workloads such as rendering, video encoding, and data compression. Its PassMark data compression score of 405885 and integer math score of 139410 reinforce this pattern.

The Core 9 273PE also takes the single-thread crown on paper. Its 5.70 GHz boost clock exceeds the i9-14901TE's 5.50 GHz. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4417 and PassMark single-thread score of 3650 represent the measured ceiling for this part. For lightly threaded applications like legacy software, spreadsheets, and responsive desktop use, the higher boost clock should translate into faster completion times.

The i9-14901TE wins on power efficiency specifications. Its 45 W TDP is lower than the 65 W TDP of the Core 9 273PE. For small-form-factor desktops, fanless builds, or always-on systems, the lower thermal envelope is a clear advantage. The i9-14901TE also carries UHD Graphics 770, which is a higher-tier integrated graphics unit than the UHD Graphics 730 in the Core 9 273PE. For systems running without a discrete GPU, the i9-14901TE offers better integrated graphics capability.

The i9-14901TE also has a smaller die at 257 mm², though no die size is recorded for the Core 9 273PE, so a direct comparison is not possible from the data.

The Core 9 273PE wins on memory bandwidth specification with 89.6 GB/s recorded, while the i9-14901TE has no bandwidth figure. The Core 9 273PE also carries a launch MSRP of $549, which is a point of reference but not a performance metric.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split in use cases. The Core 9 273PE is the stronger compute part. Its 12 cores, 24 threads, and 5.70 GHz boost clock deliver measured Cinebench R23 multi-core performance of 31288 and single-core performance of 4417. Its 90th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 49845 show it competes within 1.2% of several high-end rivals, including the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 and the Intel Core i9-13980HX. For workloads that scale with thread count, such as rendering, compilation, and data processing, the Core 9 273PE is the appropriate choice.

The i9-14901TE serves a different role. With 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 45 W TDP, it fits into power-constrained desktop builds. Its UHD Graphics 770 provides a stronger integrated graphics option. The 50th percentile ranking reflects its mid-pack positioning, but with no benchmark scores recorded, its actual performance remains unquantified. The i9-14901TE suits systems where lower power draw and integrated graphics capability outweigh raw throughput.

The shared Socket 1700, identical cache hierarchy per core, and same 10 nm process mean platform compatibility is similar for both. The i9-14901TE reaches a 5.50 GHz boost with a lower TDP, which suggests efficient clock scaling. The Core 9 273PE reaches 5.70 GHz with more cores, which indicates a higher ceiling for both single-thread and multi-thread workloads.

The database positions the Core 9 273PE near several strong rivals. Its 0.1% delta against the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 and 0.9% delta against the Intel Core i5-14600KF place it in a competitive band. No such context exists for the i9-14901TE, as it has no rival entries.

Selection depends on workload type. The Core 9 273PE delivers measured performance across the board, with the highest recorded scores in multi-threaded and single-threaded tests. The i9-14901TE offers a lower TDP and better integrated graphics, but its performance profile is undocumented. The data supports the Core 9 273PE for compute-focused builds and the i9-14901TE for efficiency-focused builds where the integrated GPU matters more than raw CPU throughput.
