Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 9 273PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, while the Intel Core i5-14500 is built on the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename. Both processors are manufactured by Intel on a 10 nm process node, but the i5-14500 has a recorded die size of 215 mm², while no die size is recorded for the Core 9 273PTE.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The Core 9 273PTE provides 12 cores and 24 threads, whereas the i5-14500 provides 14 cores and 20 threads. This indicates a different core configuration philosophy: the Core 9 273PTE relies on more threads per core, while the i5-14500 offers a higher physical core count but fewer threads overall.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. Both processors share an L1 cache of 80 KB per core, but the L2 cache differs: the Core 9 273PTE has 2 MB per core, while the i5-14500 has 1.25 MB per core. The shared L3 cache is larger on the Core 9 273PTE at 36 MB, compared to 24 MB on the i5-14500. This gives the Core 9 273PTE a cache capacity advantage at both the L2 and L3 levels.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The Core 9 273PTE includes UHD Graphics 730, while the i5-14500 includes UHD Graphics 770. Both processors use the Intel Socket 1700 and support PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Core 9 273PTE has a memory bandwidth rating of 89.6 GB/s, while no memory bandwidth figure is recorded for the i5-14500.

Clock behavior is notably different. The Core 9 273PTE runs a 1.40 GHz base clock with a 5.50 GHz boost, while the i5-14500 runs a 2.60 GHz base clock with a 5.00 GHz boost. The Core 9 273PTE is the higher-boosting part, but the i5-14500 sustains a much higher base frequency. The thermal design power also differs, with the Core 9 273PTE rated at 45 W and the i5-14500 rated at 65 W.

Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The Core 9 273PTE has a launch MSRP of $549, while the i5-14500 has a launch MSRP of $232.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14500 dominates the majority of the benchmark suite. It wins all three of the older Cinebench tests recorded in the database: R15 multi-core, R20 multi-core, and R20 single-core. It also wins most PassMark workloads, including data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, floating point math, integer math, multithread, random string sorting, and single-thread tests. The i5-14500 additionally has a Geekbench multi-core score of 13390 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2099, tests that are not recorded for the Core 9 273PTE.

The Intel Core 9 273PTE wins in the modern Cinebench R23 tests, both multi-core and single-core, and in three PassMark workloads: find prime numbers, physics, and the single-thread test. The R23 single-core win is particularly large at 50.5%, which indicates a strong per-thread performance advantage in that workload.

The split suggests the i5-14500 is the stronger all-around compute part, especially in integer-heavy and throughput-oriented tasks. The Core 9 273PTE shows its best results in prime number finding and physics simulation, where its higher boost clock and larger cache appear to matter more. The average benchmark score confirms the i5-14500's overall lead: 38531 versus 31143, a difference of roughly 23.7%.
