Intel Core 9 273PTE vs Intel Core i7-14700F

The benchmark database records a decisive performance gap between these two Intel desktop processors. Across the 17 head-to-head tests logged, the Intel Core i7-14700F wins every single contest, with the Intel Core 9 273PTE trailing by margins ranging from 19.3% to 52.7%. The Core i7-14700F also holds a higher overall benchmark percentile (91st vs. 82nd) and a significantly higher average benchmark score (53620 vs. 31143). The Core 9 273PTE, despite its newer release date and lower power envelope, does not match the throughput of the 14700F in any recorded measurement.

Where Each One Wins

The data set contains no wins for the Intel Core 9 273PTE. Its only advantages appear in non-performance attributes: a higher boost clock (5.50 GHz vs. 5.40 GHz), a larger shared L3 cache (36 MB vs. 33 MB), integrated graphics (UHD Graphics 730 vs. N/A), a lower TDP (45 vs. 65), and a launch MSRP of $549. However, every benchmark score favors the Intel Core i7-14700F. The 14700F wins all Cinebench tests (R15, R20, R23 in both single-core and multi-core), all PassMark tests (data compression, encryption, extended instructions, prime numbers, floating point, integer math, multithread, physics, random string sorting, single thread), and the Geekbench tests (multi-core 19620, single-core 2429). The 14700F also has more cores (20 vs. 12), more threads (28 vs. 24), and a higher base clock (2.10 GHz vs. 1.40 GHz). For any user prioritizing raw compute performance, the 14700F is the only choice in this comparison.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same Intel Socket 1700, the same 10 nm process node, the same dual-channel memory bus, and the same PCIe Gen 5 configuration with 16 CPU lanes. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and both have ECC memory support. The Core i7-14700F belongs to the Raptor Lake-R architecture, codenamed Raptor Lake Refresh, part of the Core 14th Gen series. It measures 257 mm² on the die. The Core 9 273PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, part of the Core 9 (Bartlett Lake) generation. The Core 9 273PTE has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the 14700F has 20 cores and 28 threads. Per-core L1 cache is identical at 80 KB, and per-core L2 cache is also identical at 2 MB. The shared L3 cache differs: the Core 9 273PTE has 36 MB, the 14700F has 33 MB. The 14700F has no integrated graphics, while the Core 9 273PTE includes UHD Graphics 730. The memory bandwidth for the Core 9 273PTE is listed at 89.6 GB/s, while the database does not record a figure for the 14700F. Both processors have locked multipliers.

The Verdict

The benchmark results are unambiguous. The Intel Core i7-14700F outperforms the Intel Core 9 273PTE in every recorded test, with the smallest margin being 19.3% in PassMark find prime numbers and the largest being 52.7% in PassMark data encryption. The 14700F delivers 41.8% higher scores across all Cinebench multi-core and single-core tests. Its average benchmark score of 53620 places it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, while the Core 9 273PTE sits in the 82nd percentile with an average score of 31143. For workloads that depend on multi-threaded throughput, such as rendering, compression, or physics calculations, the 14700F is the superior part. For single-threaded responsiveness, the 14700F again leads, with a 19.4% advantage in PassMark single thread and a 41.8% advantage in Cinebench R23 single-core. The Core 9 273PTE does offer a lower TDP of 45 watts, which may interest users with strict power budgets, but the performance data shows a clear trade-off. The database indicates that the 14700F is the stronger processor for all measured workloads.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i7-14700F wins every head-to-head benchmark, with margins that reveal its strength across both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the 14700F scores 35122 against the Core 9 273PTE's 20445, a 41.8% difference. The same 41.8% margin appears in Cinebench R23 single-core (4958 vs. 2886), Cinebench R20 multi-core (14751 vs. 8586), Cinebench R20 single-core (2082 vs. 1212), Cinebench R15 multi-core (3540 vs. 2060), and Cinebench R15 single-core (499 vs. 290). This consistent 41.8% delta across all Cinebench versions indicates a uniform performance advantage in both rendering and single-threaded tasks.

PassMark results show larger gaps in some workloads. Data compression favors the 14700F by 48.9% (505885 vs. 258704). Data encryption shows the widest margin at 52.7% (30144 vs. 14253). Integer math is 47.1% higher for the 14700F (155808 vs. 82411), and random string sorting is 48.2% higher (55918 vs. 28973). Floating point math is 43.3% higher (107005 vs. 60673), and extended instructions are 44.2% higher (28564 vs. 15952). The 14700F also leads in PassMark multithread (41317 vs. 24054, a 41.8% gap) and PassMark physics (2455 vs. 1917, a 21.9% gap). The smallest margins are in PassMark find prime numbers (176 vs. 142, a 19.3% gap) and PassMark single thread (4257 vs. 3433, a 19.4% gap). Geekbench results, recorded only for the 14700F, show a multi-core score of 19620 and a single-core score of 2429.

The data shows no scenario where the Core 9 273PTE closes the gap. Its higher boost clock and larger L3 cache do not translate into benchmark wins. The 14700F's 20 cores and 28 threads provide a substantial advantage in multi-threaded tests, while its single-core results indicate superior per-thread performance despite a slightly lower boost clock. For users comparing these two processors, the benchmark database consistently points to the Intel Core i7-14700F as the higher-performing part across all measured categories.
