12-core Core 9 outperforms i9-14900K processor in gaming

The Intel Core 9 273PQE processor performed up to 10 percent faster than the Core i9-14900K model in games. This was reported by Ixbt.com xabar.

The new device, part of the Bartlett Lake-S family, was tested by German reviewer Zed Up. The Core 9 273PQE model features 12 P-cores, 24 threads, 36 MB of cache, and a clock speed of up to 5.9 GHz.

The processor supports DDR5-5600 and ECC memory, with a power consumption of 125 W. Unlike the Raptor Lake line, this model utilizes only high-performance P-cores.

Although Bartlett Lake-S processors are designed for embedded systems, they are also compatible with standard personal computers. Through BIOS modification, they can be used like regular CPUs.

According to the test author, the presence of large cores is what gave the Core 9 273PQE its advantage. The processor led in four out of six games tested.

There was no difference in frame rates observed in "Rainbow Six Siege." In "Counter-Strike 2," the Core i9-14900K pulled ahead by a margin of just 1.5 percent.
