signal brief
Intel's new Bartlett Lake flagship, the Core 9 273PQE, failed to outperform the four-year-old Core i9-13900K in gaming benchmarks, according to testing by PC Games Hardware (PCGH) source. Despite having 50% more P-cores (12 P-cores vs 8), the chip trailed the i9-13900K by up to 8.5% when using faster DDR5-6000 memory. The chip is restricted to OEM/embedded systems, limiting its market potential. This performance shortfall raises questions about Intel's product competitiveness, especially in the desktop segment, and could benefit rival AMD. The benchmark result is based on a single source, so confidence is low, but it is a concrete data point suggesting Intel's latest architecture lags behind its predecessor in key workloads.
