AMD Ryzen 3 110 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data splits this comparison cleanly along workload type. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so every measured performance result belongs to the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus. That means the Intel part wins every category where numbers exist: Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 in both single-core and multi-core, plus the full PassMark suite covering integer math, floating point math, encryption, compression, prime number search, physics, random string sorting, and single-threaded tests.

The Ryzen 3 110 wins in the categories where the database has no measurements for it, which is an absence of data rather than a demonstrated advantage. It also wins on power efficiency: its TDP is 28 watts versus 125 watts for the Intel chip, a substantial gap in thermal design point. For workloads that run entirely within a 28-watt envelope, the AMD part is the only one of the two that fits. The Intel chip carries a 125-watt TDP and is rated at the 96th percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD chip sits at the 50th percentile.

For multi-threaded rendering, video encoding, compilation, data compression, and encryption, the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is the only part with recorded scores, and those scores are strong. For lightly threaded responsiveness tasks, the Intel chip again has the only recorded single-thread scores, and they are high. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 is a mobile-market chip with 4 cores and 8 threads, designed for a different power class entirely.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no shared head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors, so direct score comparisons cannot be made from a common test run. The available numbers come exclusively from the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, and they establish a performance baseline that the AMD Ryzen 3 110 cannot be matched against because it has no recorded scores.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel chip scores 44253. In Cinebench R23 single-core, it scores 2439. The Cinebench R20 results are 24461 multi-core and 3453 single-core. Cinebench R15 shows 6656 multi-core and 354 single-core. These numbers place the Intel processor at the 96th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 93785.

The PassMark results reinforce the same picture. The Intel chip scores 68574 in multithread, 5068 in single-thread, 175986 in integer math, 229491 in floating point math, 804322 in data compression, 59097 in data encryption, 63506 in extended instructions, 615 in find prime numbers, 4064 in physics, and 96945 in random string sorting. The nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Xeon 6520P with an average score of 93786 and a delta of 0 percent, the AMD EPYC 4564P with an average score of 95183 and a delta of -1.5 percent, the AMD EPYC 9175F with an average score of 95615 and a delta of -1.9 percent, and the AMD EPYC 4565P with an average score of 95764 and a delta of -2.1 percent. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus trails these EPYC parts by small margins, between 1.5 and 2.1 percent, while matching the Xeon part essentially exactly.

Because the Ryzen 3 110 has an average benchmark score of 0 in the database, there is no measured performance data to place alongside these figures. The Intel chip's nearest rival deltas show that its performance class sits among server processors, not among low-power mobile parts.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every specification field. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 uses 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus uses 24 cores and 24 threads. Base clocks are 3.00 GHz for AMD and 3.70 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 4.30 GHz for AMD and 5.50 GHz for Intel. TDP is 28 watts for AMD and 125 watts for Intel.

Sockets differ completely: the AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP7, and the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1851. The market segments are mobile for AMD and desktop for Intel. The multiplier is locked on the AMD chip and unlocked on the Intel chip. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $299.

Memory bandwidth differs: 76.8 GB/s for AMD versus 115.2 GB/s for Intel. Both support dual-channel DDR5 and ECC memory. PCIe generation differs: Gen 4 for AMD versus Gen 5 for Intel, with both providing 20 lanes from the CPU.

The integrated graphics are different as well. The AMD chip uses Radeon 660M, while the Intel chip uses Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 64EU. Release dates are separated by roughly six months: the AMD chip released on 2025-09-30, and the Intel chip released on 2026-03-10. The Intel part has an unlocked multiplier, so it supports overclocking; the AMD part does not.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 is built on Zen 3+ architecture with the Rembrandt-R codename, produced on a 6 nm process by TSMC. The die size is 210 mm². The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus uses Arrow Lake Refresh as its codename, belongs to the Core Ultra Series 2 generation, and is produced on a 3 nm process by TSMC. Its die size is 243 mm², and its transistor count is 17,800 million. The AMD chip's transistor count is not recorded in the database.

Cache architecture differs substantially. The AMD chip has 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 8 MB shared L3. The Intel chip has 192 KB L1 per core, 3 MB L2 per core, and 36 MB shared L3. The Intel part has a much larger L2 allocation per core, which typically benefits workloads that repeatedly access a working set that fits in that cache level.

The core topology also differs by design generation. The AMD part uses 4 cores with 8 threads, meaning simultaneous multithreading is enabled. The Intel part uses 24 cores with 24 threads, meaning no extra threads per core; it relies entirely on physical cores. The Intel chip's 24 cores are spread across the Arrow Lake Refresh design, which combines different core types, though the database does not break down the P-core and E-core counts. The AMD chip is a monolithic Zen 3+ design for mobile.

Both use DDR5 memory, but the Intel chip's memory controller supports a higher bandwidth figure of 115.2 GB/s. Both support ECC. The Intel chip's PCIe controller is Gen 5, while the AMD chip's is Gen 4. The Intel integrated graphics solution is Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 64EU, a more recent architecture than the Radeon 660M in the AMD chip.

The Verdict

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark scores, and those scores place it at the 96th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 93785, and its nearest rivals are server-class Xeon and EPYC processors. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits at the 50th percentile, with no measured performance data available.

For workloads that need multi-threaded throughput, the Intel chip delivers 44253 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 68574 in PassMark multithread. For lightly threaded tasks, it delivers 2439 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 5068 in PassMark single-thread. The Ryzen 3 110 cannot be compared on these metrics because no scores exist for it.

The choice between the two depends entirely on the use case. A desktop system with a 125-watt TDP budget, a PCIe Gen 5 platform, and a need for high multi-core and single-core throughput should use the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus. Its unlocked multiplier and launch MSRP of $299 also make it the only one of the two that is positioned for enthusiast desktop builds. A mobile system with a 28-watt TDP budget, PCIe Gen 4, and a smaller cache footprint should use the AMD Ryzen 3 110. The AMD chip is the only one of the two that fits a mobile socket, and its lower TDP makes it the only option for power-constrained designs.

The data does not support a performance comparison between the two because the AMD chip has no benchmark scores. What the data does show is that the Intel chip performs at a level comparable to server processors, while the AMD chip is a low-power mobile part with a significantly lower TDP and a much smaller core count. The Intel part is the clear choice for desktop performance workloads. The AMD part is the clear choice for mobile efficiency. The two serve different markets, and the recorded data keeps them there.
