Intel Core 9 273PTE vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains complete benchmark results for the Intel Core 9 273PTE, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded scores in any of the same test suites. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible through the head-to-head field, but the Core 9 273PTE's individual scores can still be interpreted against its nearest rivals to establish its performance tier.

The Core 9 273PTE delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20445 and a single-core score of 2886. In Cinebench R20, it records 8586 multi-core and 1212 single-core points. The older R15 test shows 2060 multi-core and 290 single-core results. These numbers place the chip in the 82nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms roughly four out of five recorded processors.

Its average benchmark score of 31143 sits close to several established competitors. The Intel Core i7-12700F averages 31081, which is a 0.2% difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS averages 31074, also 0.2% behind. The Intel Core i7-13700TE averages 31028, trailing by 0.4%. On the other side, the Intel Core i7-12650HX averages 31290, which is 0.5% ahead of the Core 9 273PTE. These margins are narrow, indicating the Core 9 273PTE occupies a performance band nearly identical to these four rivals despite its different core configuration.

PassMark results for the Core 9 273PTE show strong integer math performance at 82411 and floating point math at 60673. The multithread score of 24054 and single-thread score of 3433 confirm balanced scaling between parallel and single-core workloads. Data compression reaches 258704, while encryption scores 14253. Extended instructions produce 15952, and random string sorting yields 28973. The physics test records 1917, and the prime number search completes at 142 points.

Since the i5-14501TE has no benchmark entries, the recorded data cannot quantify any lead for either processor. The comparison must instead rely on architectural and specification differences, which are substantial.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural families. The Core 9 273PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, while the Core i5-14501TE uses Raptor Lake-R with the Raptor Lake architecture and the Core 14th Gen series designation. The Core 9 lists its generation as "Core 9 (Bartlett Lake)" and the i5 as "Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh)," confirming they are not direct generation siblings.

Both are built on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry. The i5-14501TE has a recorded die size of 215 mm², while the Core 9 273PTE has no die size entry. The Core 9 doubles the core count and thread count of the i5, which explains why its multi-core potential should be substantially higher, though no direct benchmark comparison exists to confirm this.

Cache organization differs beyond the L3 capacity. The Core 9 273PTE uses 2 MB of L2 cache per core, while the i5-14501TE uses 1.25 MB per core. Both share the same 80 KB L1 cache per core. The Core 9's larger per-core L2 and larger shared L3 give it a clear cache advantage for workloads that benefit from repeated data access.

Both processors support ECC memory and use the same PCIe Gen 5 specification with 16 CPU lanes. They share the same Intel Socket 1700, making them socket-compatible, though their different architectures mean the platform-level features could vary. The production status for both is listed as Active.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts present the most significant difference: 12 cores and 24 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads. Clock speeds also differ, with the Core 9 having a lower base (1.40 GHz) but higher boost (5.50 GHz), while the i5 has a higher base (2.20 GHz) but lower boost (5.10 GHz).

Cache capacities differ at both the L2 and L3 levels. The Core 9's L2 is 2 MB per core versus 1.25 MB per core for the i5. The L3 is 36 MB shared versus 24 MB shared.

The integrated graphics differ: UHD Graphics 730 on the Core 9 versus UHD Graphics 770 on the i5. The i5's newer graphics tier may offer better media or display capabilities, though the database does not include graphics benchmarks.

Memory bandwidth is recorded for the Core 9 at 89.6 GB/s, but no bandwidth figure exists for the i5. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode.

The release dates differ by roughly 20 months. The i5-14501TE was released on 2024-06-30, while the Core 9 273PTE was released on 2026-03-08. The launch MSRP for the Core 9 is $549, while the i5 has no launch MSRP recorded.

The die size is listed only for the i5 at 215 mm², and the part numbers differ (SA4QJ for the Core 9, Q49KSRNJN for the i5). Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 9 273PTE wins on raw parallel processing capacity. Its 12 cores and 24 threads double the i5's 6 cores and 12 threads. The larger L3 cache (36 MB versus 24 MB) and larger per-core L2 (2 MB versus 1.25 MB) favor workloads with large working sets, such as compilation, rendering, scientific computation, or heavy multitasking. The higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz also gives it an advantage in single-threaded bursts when the workload can utilize the peak frequency.

The Core 9's 82nd percentile ranking and average score of 31143 place it among strong desktop performers, with negligible differences to the i7-12700F, Ryzen 9 8945HS, and i7-13700TE. This suggests the Core 9 is competitive with established high-end parts, even though its exact margin over the i5 cannot be measured from the available data.

The i5-14501TE wins on base clock, starting at 2.20 GHz versus 1.40 GHz. This could translate to more consistent performance in lightly threaded tasks that stay near base frequency rather than boosting. The i5 also uses UHD Graphics 770, which is a higher-tier integrated GPU than the Core 9's UHD Graphics 730, potentially giving it an edge in tasks that rely on the iGPU. The i5's smaller die size of 215 mm² also suggests potentially lower manufacturing complexity, though no power or thermal figures are available to confirm efficiency differences.

The i5 sits exactly at the 50th percentile, meaning it represents median performance among all CPUs in the database. The Core 9 at the 82nd percentile clearly outperforms the median, but without direct benchmark scores for the i5, the size of that gap remains unknown.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports choosing the Core 9 273PTE for workloads that demand high parallel throughput. Its doubled core and thread counts, larger caches, higher boost clock, and 82nd percentile ranking all point to a processor built for demanding multi-threaded applications. The average benchmark score of 31143, nearly matching the i7-12700F and Ryzen 9 8945HS, reinforces that position.

The Core i5-14501TE appears better suited to scenarios where higher base clock stability matters more than peak multi-core output. Its 6 cores and 12 threads handle typical desktop workloads, and its UHD Graphics 770 provides a more capable integrated graphics solution. The 50th percentile ranking indicates median performance, which is adequate for everyday use but not competitive with the Core 9's tier.

The lack of benchmark entries for the i5-14501TE means the database cannot quantify the exact performance delta between the two. However, the architectural differences are decisive on paper: the Core 9 has double the cores, double the threads, more cache, and a higher boost clock. The i5 counters with a higher base clock and better integrated graphics, but those advantages are unlikely to overcome the Core 9's structural superiority in multi-threaded scenarios.

For users prioritizing single-threaded responsiveness at lower sustained frequencies, the i5's 2.20 GHz base clock could provide a steadier experience. For anyone running applications that scale across cores, the Core 9 273PTE is the clear choice based on the recorded specifications and its strong benchmark placement among rival processors. The 32-percentage-point gap in percentile ranking (82 versus 50) underscores the Core 9's higher standing in the overall CPU landscape.
