Intel Core 9 273PQE vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 9 273PQE delivers decisive performance advantages across every measurable workload category. The recorded Cinebench data shows the Core 9 273PQE scoring 39190 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, while the Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, making direct numerical comparison impossible for that processor. The Core 9 273PQE posts a single-core Cinebench R23 score of 5532, which places it in the top tier of desktop processors.

The Core 9 273PQE achieves an average benchmark score of 66099, ranking in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus, posts an average score of 66159, a delta of -0.1 percent, meaning the Core 9 273PQE trails that specific competitor by a negligible margin. Against the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, the Core 9 273PQE holds a 0.3 percent advantage, with the AMD part scoring 65914. The Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus scores 66855, putting it 1.1 percent ahead, and the AMD EPYC 4465P scores 66925, a 1.2 percent lead.

The Core 9 273PQE shows substantial multi-threaded strength. Its Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 16459 and Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 3950 confirm strong scaling across its 12 cores and 24 threads. The PassMark multi-thread score of 46107 reinforces this position. Integer math performance reaches 164629, floating point math reaches 125546, and extended instructions hit 38743 in PassMark tests. Data compression scores 585752, random string sorting scores 53167, and data encryption scores 29636. The find prime numbers test returns 198, and physics simulation scores 2754.

Single-thread performance also favors the Core 9 273PQE. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5532, R20 single-core score of 2323, and R15 single-core score of 557 all indicate strong per-core capability. PassMark single-thread score of 4573 aligns with those results. The boost clock of 5.90 GHz on the Core 9 273PQE supports these outcomes, while the Core i5-14501E boosts to 5.20 GHz.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same Intel Socket 1700, the same 10 nm process node from Intel, and identical integrated graphics in the UHD Graphics 770. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, both support ECC memory, and both provide PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The core configurations differ sharply. The Core 9 273PQE uses 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Bartlett Lake codename. The Core i5-14501E uses 6 cores and 12 threads, based on Raptor Lake-R, part of the Raptor Lake architecture. The Core 9 273PQE has no listed die size, while the Core i5-14501E measures 215 mm².

Cache hierarchies diverge in L2 and L3 capacity. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The Core 9 273PQE carries 2 MB of L2 per core and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14501E carries 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core 9 273PQE therefore holds 50 percent more L3 cache in total and more L2 per core.

Memory bandwidth figures exist only for the Core 9 273PQE, which records 89.6 GB/s. The Core i5-14501E has no memory bandwidth entry in the database. Both support the same memory types, so the bandwidth advantage likely stems from the higher core count and memory controller configuration of the Core 9 273PQE.

Clock speeds separate the two as well. The Core 9 273PQE has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost of 5.90 GHz. The Core i5-14501E runs at 3.30 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost. The Core 9 273PQE also carries a 125 W TDP versus 65 W TDP for the Core i5-14501E, reflecting the additional cores and higher clocks.

Release timing differs: the Core 9 273PQE has a release date of March 2026, while the Core i5-14501E was released in June 2024. The Core 9 273PQE has a launch MSRP of $589.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 9 273PQE wins in every workload category with recorded data. Multi-threaded productivity tasks show the largest margins due to the 12-core, 24-thread configuration. Cinebench R23 multi-core at 39190, R20 multi-core at 16459, and R15 multi-core at 3950 all demonstrate strong parallel scaling. PassMark integer math at 164629 and floating point math at 125546 confirm the same pattern. Data compression at 585752 and random string sorting at 53167 indicate throughput-oriented workloads benefit substantially.

Single-thread workloads also favor the Core 9 273PQE. The 5.90 GHz boost clock drives Cinebench R23 single-core to 5532 and PassMark single-thread to 4573. Encryption at 29636 and extended instructions at 38743 show the processor handles security and vector workloads without difficulty. Physics simulation at 2754 rounds out the picture.

The Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark scores, so no workload-specific wins can be assigned to it from the database. Its lower 65 W TDP suggests lower power draw, but the database provides no thermal or power measurements to confirm this. The Core i5-14501E does have a smaller die size at 215 mm², which may relate to manufacturing characteristics, but no performance data backs any advantage. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration would logically serve lighter tasks, but no benchmark evidence exists in the database to verify that.

The Core 9 273PQE also holds the edge in cache capacity with 36 MB L3 versus 24 MB L3, and 2 MB L2 per core versus 1.25 MB L2 per core. The higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s for the Core 9 273PQE, with no recorded bandwidth for the Core i5-14501E, further favors the higher-end part.

The Verdict

The database presents a one-sided comparison. The Intel Core 9 273PQE has a complete set of benchmark results, an average score of 66099, and a 93rd percentile ranking. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking. Any user selecting between these two processors for performance-sensitive workloads should choose the Core 9 273PQE based on the recorded data.

The Core 9 273PQE doubles the core and thread count, adds 12 MB of L3 cache, increases L2 per core, and boosts 0.70 GHz higher. Its memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s exceeds the Core i5-14501E, which has no listed bandwidth. The 125 W TDP versus 65 W TDP indicates the Core 9 273PQE consumes more power, but the benchmark results justify the higher power envelope for demanding applications.

The Core i5-14501E may serve scenarios where lower TDP is prioritized, but the database contains no performance measurements to support any specific use case. The Core 9 273PQE's nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, all score within about 1 percent of the Core 9 273PQE, placing it in competitive company among high-end desktop parts.

For multi-threaded rendering, data processing, and heavy computational loads, the Core 9 273PQE's Cinebench and PassMark scores clearly lead. For single-thread responsiveness, the 5.90 GHz boost clock and 5532 Cinebench R23 single-core score provide a strong baseline. The Core i5-14501E, lacking any recorded scores, cannot be positioned as a performance alternative. The verdict from the data: the Core 9 273PQE is the only processor with demonstrated performance in this comparison.
