Architecture Differences

The Intel Core 9 273PTE is built on Bartlett Lake, a distinct codename from the Core 9 generation, while the Intel Core i9-14900F uses Raptor Lake-R under the Core 14th Gen series. Both are manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel’s foundry, but the silicon designs diverge significantly.

The 273PTE packs 12 cores and 24 threads, while the i9-14900F delivers 24 cores and 32 threads. This is the most consequential architectural split: the i9-14900F has twice the physical cores and 8 additional threads, which directly explains its massive multi-threaded advantages. The 273PTE’s core configuration suggests a more efficiency-oriented design, reflected in its 45 W TDP versus the i9-14900F’s 65 W TDP.

Clock speeds also differ. The 273PTE has a base clock of 1.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The i9-14900F starts at 2.00 GHz base and boosts to 5.80 GHz. The i9-14900F holds a 0.60 GHz base clock advantage and a 0.30 GHz boost advantage, which contributes to its single-thread performance lead.

Cache hierarchies are identical on paper: both have 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 36 MB shared L3. The i9-14900F’s larger core count means more total L1 and L2 capacity across the chip, although the per-core figures match. The die size is recorded only for the i9-14900F at 257 mm²; the 273PTE’s die size is not listed.

Memory support matches with DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel bus, and both support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities are identical: Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The 273PTE includes UHD Graphics 730, while the i9-14900F has no integrated graphics. Both processors are locked (multiplier unlocked: false) and use the Intel Socket 1700.

The 273PTE was released on 2026-03-08, while the i9-14900F launched on 2024-01-07. The 273PTE’s part number is SA4QJ; the i9-14900F’s is SRN3W.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records 17 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, and the Intel Core i9-14900F wins all 17. The Intel Core 9 273PTE records zero victories. The margin varies by workload, revealing where the i9-14900F’s advantages are largest and smallest.

In Cinebench tests, the i9-14900F leads by consistently around 48.3% across every version. Cinebench R15 multicore: 3986 vs 2060. R15 singlecore: 562 vs 290. R20 multicore: 16611 vs 8586. R20 singlecore: 2344 vs 1212. R23 multicore: 39551 vs 20445. R23 singlecore: 5583 vs 2886. The uniformity of the -48.3% delta across both multi-core and single-core runs indicates the i9-14900F’s advantage stems from a combination of higher clocks and more cores, not workload-specific quirks.

PassMark tests show a wider spread. The smallest gap is in single-thread performance: 4506 vs 3433, a 23.8% lead for the i9-14900F. This matches the boost clock differential and suggests the 273PTE’s single-core efficiency does not compensate for the i9-14900F’s raw frequency advantage.

The largest gap appears in data encryption: 34644 vs 14253, a 58.9% deficit for the 273PTE. Data compression shows a 54.1% gap (564207 vs 258704), random string sorting a 54.5% gap (63728 vs 28973), and integer math a 53.5% gap (177066 vs 82411). These workloads scale heavily with core count and thread count, where the i9-14900F’s 24 cores and 32 threads dominate the 273PTE’s 12 cores and 24 threads.

Floating point math shows a 49.2% gap (119550 vs 60673), extended instructions a 48.7% gap (31084 vs 15952), and multithread a 48.3% gap (46532 vs 24054). Physics tests show a 33.9% gap (2899 vs 1917), while find prime numbers shows a 32.1% gap (209 vs 142). The physics and prime number gaps are smaller than the compression or encryption gaps, indicating those workloads are less sensitive to the core count disparity.

The i9-14900F’s nearest rivals include AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX (60099, -0.2%), AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX (60104, -0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D (59641, +0.6%), and Intel Xeon Gold 6338T (60572, -0.9%). The 273PTE’s nearest rivals are the Intel Core i7-12700F (31081, +0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS (31074, +0.2%), Intel Core i7-13700TE (31028, +0.4%), and Intel Core i7-12650HX (31290, -0.5%). The i9-14900F sits in a performance tier about 93% higher than the 273PTE, and its rival cluster consists of high-end mobile and server parts, whereas the 273PTE competes with mid-range desktop and mobile chips.

Both CPUs share the same socket (Intel Socket 1700), process node (10 nm), foundry (Intel), L1/L2/L3 cache layout, memory type support (DDR4, DDR5), memory bus (dual-channel), ECC support, and PCIe configuration (Gen 5, 16 lanes). Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The i9-14900F carries a higher launch MSRP of $524 compared to the 273PTE’s $549. The 273PTE has a newer release date and includes integrated graphics, while the i9-14900F does not.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the Intel Core i9-14900F outperforms the Intel Core 9 273PTE in every recorded test. The i9-14900F records 17 wins out of 17 comparisons, with deltas ranging from 23.8% (single-thread) to 58.9% (data encryption). Its average benchmark score of 60008 versus 31143 places it in the 92nd percentile versus the 82nd percentile, a substantial gap in the overall CPU distribution.

The i9-14900F’s advantages trace directly to its 24 cores versus 12, 32 threads versus 24, and higher base and boost clocks. The 273PTE counters with a lower TDP (45 W vs 65 W), integrated graphics, and a newer release date, but these features do not translate into any performance wins in the database.

The 273PTE’s nearest rivals cluster around the 31000-31300 average score range, meaning it performs like a mid-range part despite its Core 9 branding. The i9-14900F’s rivals cluster around 59600-60600, placing it in a distinctly higher performance class. Users prioritizing raw compute throughput, especially in multi-threaded workloads like compression, encryption, and math operations, will find the i9-14900F overwhelmingly faster. The 273PTE’s only recorded advantages are qualitative: lower power draw, integrated graphics, and a later release date.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-14900F wins in every benchmark category recorded. For multi-threaded workloads, the i9-14900F shows its largest margins: data encryption (58.9% lead), random string sorting (54.5%), data compression (54.1%), and integer math (53.5%). These tasks scale with core and thread counts, and the i9-14900F’s 24 cores and 32 threads provide the necessary parallelism. Cinebench multi-core tests confirm this pattern with a 48.3% lead across R15, R20, and R23. The i9-14900F also wins single-thread tests, though by a smaller margin: 23.8% in PassMark single-thread and 48.3-48.4% in Cinebench single-core runs. Its higher boost clock of 5.80 GHz versus 5.50 GHz explains this advantage.

The Intel Core 9 273PTE does not win any recorded benchmark. Its value lies outside the performance metrics: it consumes less power (45 W TDP vs 65 W), includes UHD Graphics 730 for systems without a discrete GPU, and was released later. For workloads that are lightly threaded, the 273PTE’s 23.8% single-thread deficit is its smallest gap, indicating it is comparatively least disadvantaged in such scenarios. For heavily parallel tasks, the deficit grows to nearly 59%, making the 273PTE a poor fit for those workloads. The data suggests the 273PTE suits efficiency-oriented desktop builds where integrated graphics and lower power draw matter more than raw throughput, while the i9-14900F dominates all measured performance categories.
