Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 uses the Zen 3+ architecture with the codename Rembrandt-R, built on a 6 nm process by TSMC. Its die size is 210 mm². The Intel Core 5 221E uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process by Intel, with a die size of 257 mm². The process node difference is significant: 6 nm versus 10 nm indicates the AMD chip uses a denser manufacturing technology, which typically allows lower power consumption for a given transistor count, though the database does not provide transistor counts for either part.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 has 4 cores and 8 threads. The Intel Core 5 221E has 14 cores and 20 threads. The core count disparity is large, and the thread count reflects that difference. The AMD part is a mobile processor, according to its market segment, while the Intel part is a desktop processor. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. These sockets are incompatible, meaning they cannot be swapped in the same motherboard.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 integrates Radeon 660M graphics. The Intel Core 5 221E integrates UHD Graphics 730. Both have integrated graphics, but the database does not provide performance figures for either GPU. The AMD part has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel part has a TDP of 65 watts, indicating the Intel chip is designed for higher sustained power draw, which is consistent with its desktop orientation and higher core count.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 5 221E has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has three times the L3 cache and four times the L2 per core, which can benefit workloads that repeatedly access larger working sets.

Specification Differences

The base clocks differ: the AMD Ryzen 3 110 runs at 3.00 GHz, while the Intel Core 5 221E runs at 2.70 GHz. The boost clocks are reversed in favor of Intel: 4.30 GHz for AMD versus 5.20 GHz for Intel. The AMD part has a lower base clock but a higher base frequency than the Intel part, while the Intel part boosts considerably higher. The TDP difference is notable: 28 watts for AMD versus 65 watts for Intel.

Memory support diverges. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 supports only DDR5 memory, while the Intel Core 5 221E supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the memory bandwidth differs: 76.8 GB/s for AMD and 89.6 GB/s for Intel. The Intel part has a 12.8 GB/s higher memory bandwidth, which can assist in memory-bound tasks. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs in generation and lane count. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The Intel Core 5 221E provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part supports a newer PCIe generation, which offers higher per-lane bandwidth, though the AMD part has four more lanes. The practical impact depends on the devices attached; the database does not specify how these lanes are allocated beyond the CPU-only designation.

The release dates differ. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 was released on September 30, 2025. The Intel Core 5 221E was released on January 12, 2025. The Intel part launched earlier. The production status for both is Active. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $232, which can be stated once per the database rules; the AMD part has no listed launch price.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 has a part number of 100-000000549 (FP7r2). The Intel Core 5 221E has a part number of SRQDVQ659. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported by the database specifications. The market segments are explicit: AMD is Mobile, Intel is Desktop.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 221E wins in every measured benchmark category because it is the only one with recorded scores. Its 14 cores and 20 threads give it a clear advantage in multi-threaded workloads, as evidenced by the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,933 and PassMark multi-thread score of 30,510. The high boost clock of 5.20 GHz supports single-thread performance, shown in the PassMark single-thread score of 4,147 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,661. The larger L3 cache of 24 MB and higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s favor tasks that stress memory subsystem throughput, such as data compression, which scores 324,285 in PassMark.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110, with no benchmark data, cannot be said to win any recorded test. Its specifications suggest strengths in power efficiency: a 28-watt TDP is less than half of the Intel part’s 65 watts. The smaller die size of 210 mm² on a 6 nm process indicates a more compact design. The AMD part supports PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes, which offers more lanes than the Intel part’s 16 lanes, potentially benefiting multi-device storage configurations. The AMD part also has a higher base clock of 3.00 GHz versus 2.70 GHz for Intel, which could aid lightly threaded tasks that do not boost. However, without benchmarks, these are qualitative advantages only.

For use-case splits based on data, the Intel Core 5 221E is the only option with measurable performance. It is positioned for desktop workloads that can use 14 cores, such as rendering, encoding, or compilation, where the multi-core Cinebench scores are relevant. The 87th percentile ranking confirms it outperforms most CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen 3 110, being a mobile part with 4 cores, is suited for low-power portable systems, but its performance relative to the Intel part cannot be quantified.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear asymmetry. The Intel Core 5 221E is a measured, high-performing desktop processor with an average benchmark score of 40,144, placing it at the 87th percentile. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, are within 0.2% of its average score, and the AMD Ryzen 9 270 and Intel Core i9-13905H are within 0.4%, meaning the Intel Core 5 221E is statistically tied with these four chips in overall performance. The Intel part delivers strong multi-core results with 14 cores and 20 threads, and its 5.20 GHz boost clock supports single-core responsiveness.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 has no benchmark scores in the database. Its specifications indicate a low-power mobile processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, a 28-watt TDP, and a 6 nm process. It supports DDR5 memory with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth and PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes. The 50th percentile ranking is present, but without recorded tests, it carries no evidentiary weight.

For a user selecting between these two, the Intel Core 5 221E is the only part with proven performance data. It is a desktop chip with a 65-watt TDP, a larger cache, and higher memory bandwidth. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 is a mobile chip with lower power draw and a smaller physical footprint. The choice should rest on the platform: desktop builders have a measured option in the Intel part, while mobile system designers have a specification-only option in the AMD part. The Intel Core 5 221E is the clear choice for anyone who needs a processor with verified benchmark results, while the AMD Ryzen 3 110 remains an unproven quantity in the database.
