Intel Core 9 273PE vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 9 273PE delivers a comprehensive benchmark performance advantage over the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100, though direct comparisons are limited by the nature of the available data. The Intel processor has a substantial portfolio of recorded benchmark results, while the Qualcomm part currently has no benchmark scores in the database. This creates an asymmetric comparison where the Intel chip's measured capabilities can be examined in detail, and the Snapdragon's position can be inferred from its specifications and market placement.

The Intel Core 9 273PE achieves an average benchmark score of 49,845 across all recorded tests, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs in the database. This places it in close competition with several high-end processors. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 scores 49,796, a delta of just 0.1% behind the Intel part. The Intel Core i5-14600KF trails by 0.9% with a score of 49,394. The Intel Core i9-13980HX leads the Intel part by 1.1% with a score of 50,398, and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 leads by 1.2% with a score of 50,448. These margins are tight, with the Core 9 273PE essentially trading blows with these established processors.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core testing, the Core 9 273PE records a score of 31,288. This is a strong result for a 12-core, 24-thread processor. The single-core score of 4,417 in the same test indicates robust per-thread performance, likely attributable to the 5.70 GHz boost clock. Cinebench R20 results follow the same pattern, with a multi-core score of 13,140 and a single-core score of 1,855. In Cinebench R15, the multi-core score is 3,153 and the single-core score is 445.

PassMark results for the Intel part show specific strengths in different workloads. The multi-thread score is 36,810, while the single-thread score is 3,650. Integer math performance reaches 139,410, and floating-point math scores 107,884. Data compression yields 405,885, a particularly high number that indicates strong throughput for compression workloads. Data encryption scores 22,719, extended instructions score 24,630, and random string sorting scores 45,098. Physics testing produces a score of 3,120, and finding prime numbers results in a score of 203.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, and its average benchmark score is 0. It sits in the 50th percentile of all CPUs, which is a mid-pack placement, but this is based on its specifications rather than measured performance data. Without direct benchmark results, the database cannot provide a head-to-head comparison of actual scores between these two processors.

The wins tally shows 0 for each processor, which reflects the absence of direct head-to-head benchmark entries rather than a lack of competitive positioning. The Intel part's 90th percentile ranking versus the Snapdragon's 50th percentile ranking suggests a significant performance gap, but the database does not contain the specific test results needed to quantify this precisely.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 9 273PE and Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 are built on fundamentally different architectures. The Intel processor uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 9 generation. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process node by Intel's own foundry. The Qualcomm processor uses the Oryon codename and belongs to the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process node by TSMC.

The core configurations differ significantly. The Intel part has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Qualcomm part has 10 cores and 10 threads. The Intel processor's thread count is double its core count, indicating support for simultaneous multithreading. The Qualcomm processor has no such capability, with equal core and thread counts.

Cache hierarchies also differ substantially. The Intel 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 Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has 288 KB of L1 cache per core, 12 MB of L2 cache per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's L3 cache is six times larger than the Snapdragon's, which can benefit workloads with large working sets.

Memory support is another point of divergence. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the Qualcomm processor supports LPDDR5X. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the Qualcomm part has a higher memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s compared to 89.6 GB/s for the Intel part. The Intel processor supports ECC memory, while the Qualcomm processor does not.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The Intel Core 9 273PE uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 uses Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only). This gives the Intel part a newer PCIe generation and more lanes.

Integrated graphics are present in both processors but are from different vendors. The Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730, while the Qualcomm part uses Adreno X1-85. The market segments also differ: the Intel processor is a Desktop part, while the Qualcomm processor targets Mobile.

The production status for both is Active. The Intel processor has a release date of 2026-03-08, while the Qualcomm processor has a release date of 2024-04-23. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $549, and the Qualcomm part has no listed launch MSRP.

The sockets are incompatible: the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700, while the Qualcomm part uses Qualcomm BGA 2073. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The part numbers are SA4QD for Intel and X1P64100 for Qualcomm.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the Intel Core 9 273PE is the higher-performance processor. Its 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs, combined with an average benchmark score of 49,845, places it in the upper tier of available processors. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 sits in the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmark scores, which limits direct performance conclusions but positions it as a mid-range part.

The Intel processor offers more cores, more threads, and a higher boost clock. These specifications translate into recorded benchmark results that show strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31,288 and single-core score of 4,417 demonstrate capability across both parallel and latency-sensitive workloads. PassMark results confirm this with a multi-thread score of 36,810 and a single-thread score of 3,650.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has a lower TDP of 35 watts compared to 65 watts for the Intel part, which suggests better energy efficiency for mobile applications. Its higher base clock of 3.40 GHz and memory bandwidth of 135.2 GB/s are notable advantages. However, without benchmark scores, its actual performance cannot be verified from the database.

For workloads that require high thread counts, large L3 cache, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, the Intel Core 9 273PE is the appropriate choice based on the data. For scenarios prioritizing low power consumption and high memory bandwidth in a mobile form factor, the Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has specification-level advantages. The database shows the Intel part as the performance leader, while the Qualcomm part remains unmeasured.
