Intel's upcoming Bartlett Lake-S processor, the Core 9 273PQE, has appeared in benchmark results. The chip is based on the Raptor Lake architecture and uses the LGA1700 socket.
12 P-cores deliver gaming advantage
The Core 9 273PQE features 12 P-cores, a departure from the hybrid design of the Core i9-14900K which has 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. According to a leak from Zed Up Gaming, the new CPU outperforms the 14900K by up to 10% in some tests. The P-core-only layout gives it an advantage in most games.
Edge market launch set for March 2026
Bartlett Lake-S is designed for embedded and edge markets, not consumer platforms. Availability to embedded and edge customers begins in March 2026.
The performance advantage may not extend to all workloads. The leaked benchmarks focused on gaming, and multi-threaded productivity tests were not shown. Intel has not confirmed the launch window for the broader market.
