Intel Core 9 273PTE vs Intel Processor 300T Comparison

The Verdict

The Intel Core 9 273PTE is the clear performance leader in this comparison, based on the recorded database measurements. The Core 9 273PTE carries an average benchmark score of 31143, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel Processor 300T, by contrast, sits in the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmark scores, indicating a fundamentally different performance class. The Core 9 273PTE should be selected by anyone needing substantial multi-threaded throughput, as its 12 cores and 24 threads deliver scores that rival established desktop processors. The Intel Processor 300T, with 2 cores and 4 threads, is appropriate for basic desktop tasks where the lower 35 W TDP and smaller footprint matter more than raw compute capability.

The Core 9 273PTE outscores the Intel Processor 300T in every measurable category, and the nearest rivals for the Core 9 273PTE confirm its competitive position. The database shows the Core 9 273PTE sits within 0.5% of the Intel Core i7-12650HX, 0.2% above the Intel Core i7-12700F, 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, and 0.4% above the Intel Core i7-13700TE. This places the Core 9 273PTE in the same performance envelope as those established parts, making it a viable choice for workloads that previously required those processors. The Intel Processor 300T, however, has no rivals listed in the database, which reinforces its position as an entry-level part with modest expectations.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same Intel Socket 1700 platform and are both built on Intel's 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry. The architectural divergence begins with the codenames. The Core 9 273PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is listed under the Core 9 generation, while the Intel Processor 300T uses the Raptor Lake-S codename with the Raptor Lake architecture and the Intel Processor generation.

Core count presents the largest architectural split. The Core 9 273PTE has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Processor 300T has 2 cores and 4 threads. This sixfold difference in core count and thread count dictates nearly every performance outcome in the database. The Core 9 273PTE also carries a larger cache hierarchy: 2 MB of L2 per core versus 1.25 MB per core on the Intel Processor 300T, and 36 MB of shared L3 versus 6 MB. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core.

Clock behavior also differs. The Core 9 273PTE has a base clock of 1.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, giving it a wide frequency range that explains its strong single-thread scores. The Intel Processor 300T has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and no recorded boost clock, meaning it runs at a fixed frequency and cannot scale upward under load. The Core 9 273PTE also has a higher TDP at 45 W versus 35 W for the Intel Processor 300T.

Memory support is similar in type: both support DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory buses. The Core 9 273PTE has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel Processor 300T has no bandwidth figure in the database. ECC memory support differs, with the Core 9 273PTE supporting ECC and the Intel Processor 300T not supporting it. Both use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics differ as well: the Core 9 273PTE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the Intel Processor 300T uses UHD Graphics 710. The Intel Processor 300T has a recorded die size of 163 mm², while the Core 9 273PTE has no die size figure.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 9 273PTE wins in every benchmark category recorded in the database. Its multi-threaded performance is the standout feature, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20445, a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 8586, and a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 2060. The PassMark multi-thread score of 24054 further confirms that heavily threaded workloads are the Core 9 273PTE's strongest domain. The single-thread scores are also strong, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2886, a Cinebench R20 single-core score of 1212, and a Cinebench R15 single-core score of 290. The PassMark single-thread score of 3433 indicates that even lightly threaded tasks benefit from the higher boost clock.

The Intel Processor 300T has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so its wins cannot be quantified directly. However, its lower 35 W TDP and smaller core count suggest it draws less power and produces less heat. The 3.40 GHz base clock means it runs at a constant frequency without needing boost headroom, which can be advantageous in thermally constrained systems. The Intel Processor 300T also has a lower launch MSRP of $82, which positions it differently in the market.

Data-centric workloads on the Core 9 273PTE show particular strength. The PassMark data compression score of 258704 is exceptionally high, while data encryption scores 14253 and extended instructions score 15952. Integer math scores 82411, floating point math scores 60673, and find prime numbers scores 142. Random string sorting scores 28973, and physics scores 1917. These numbers indicate that the Core 9 273PTE handles both integer-heavy and floating-point-heavy workloads with headroom.
