AMD Ryzen 3 110 vs Intel Core Ultra 9 285 Comparison

# Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits cleanly along workload type. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 has no recorded benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 has a full suite of 17 recorded scores across Cinebench and Passmark tests. As a result, every measurable benchmark win belongs to the Intel part. The Ryzen 3 110's percentile standing among all CPUs sits at 50, placing it at the median of the database's tracked processors. The Core Ultra 9 285 sits at the 95th percentile, meaning it outperforms 95 percent of all CPUs in the database. This is a decisive spread: the Intel processor is a top-tier desktop part, while the AMD processor occupies a mid-pack mobile position.

The use-case split is therefore not about which processor wins specific tests, but about what each processor is designed to do. The Ryzen 3 110 is a 4-core, 8-thread mobile chip with a 28 W TDP, built for efficiency in thin-and-light laptops. The Core Ultra 9 285 is a 24-core, 24-thread desktop chip with a 65 W TDP, built for sustained multi-threaded throughput. The data shows no overlap in their intended roles: the AMD part targets battery-conscious portable workloads, while the Intel part targets desktop productivity, content creation, and heavy parallel processing.

# Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries, nodes, and design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 uses TSMC's 6 nm process with a die size of 210 mm². Its architecture is Zen 3+, codenamed Rembrandt-R, and it belongs to the Ryzen 3 generation. It has 4 cores and 8 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. Its cache hierarchy consists of 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 8 MB shared L3. It supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. ECC memory is supported. PCIe connectivity is Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics come from the Radeon 660M.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 uses TSMC's 3 nm process with a die size of 243 mm² and 17,800 million transistors. Its architecture is Arrow Lake, codenamed Arrow Lake-S, and it belongs to the Core Ultra Series 2 generation. It has 24 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. Its cache hierarchy consists of 192 KB L1 per core, 3 MB L2 per core, and 36 MB shared L3. It supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus with 102.4 GB/s bandwidth. ECC memory is supported. PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics come from Arc Xe-LPG Graphics with 64 execution units.

The architectural gap is substantial. The Intel chip has 6 times the cores, 3 times the L1 per core, 6 times the L2 per core, and 4.5 times the shared L3. Its memory bandwidth is 33.5 percent higher. Its PCIe generation is one full step ahead. The AMD chip draws less power, with a 28 W TDP versus 65 W, and uses a slightly smaller die. The Intel chip's transistor count is listed at 17,800 million, while the AMD chip's transistor count is not recorded in the database. The AMD chip is marked for mobile use on Socket FP7, while the Intel chip is marked for desktop use on Socket 1851.

# Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Because the Ryzen 3 110 has no benchmark scores in the database, the head-to-head comparison is one-sided. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285's recorded scores establish its performance envelope, and those numbers can be read against the AMD part's absence of data. The most relevant comparison is the percentile gap: 95 versus 50. That 45-point gap indicates that the Intel processor outperforms the overwhelming majority of CPUs in the database, while the AMD processor sits exactly at the median.

Looking at the Intel chip's Cinebench results, the multi-core scores show a strong scaling pattern. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it scores 4,933. In R20 multi-core, it scores 20,556. In R23 multi-core, it scores 48,945. The single-core scores are 696 in R15, 2,901 in R20, and 6,909 in R23. The ratio between R23 multi-core and R23 single-core is roughly 7.1 times, which reflects the 24-core design's ability to scale across parallel workloads.

Passmark results reinforce this. The multi-thread score is 56,602, while the single-thread score is 4,881. The floating-point math score is 194,988, and integer math is 164,869. Data compression scores 602,121, while data encryption scores 46,949. Extended instructions score 45,357. Find prime numbers scores 459. Physics scores 3,598. Random string sorting scores 73,651. These numbers indicate a processor that handles both integer-heavy and floating-point-heavy workloads with high throughput.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the Intel chip's standing. The AMD EPYC 8224P averages 75,582, which is 0.1 percent higher than the Core Ultra 9 285's average of 75,488. The AMD EPYC 4545P averages 75,373, which is 0.2 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755X3D averages 75,716, which is 0.3 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 averages 75,738, which is 0.3 percent higher. The Core Ultra 9 285 sits within a narrow band of roughly 0.5 percent of these four rivals, indicating that it trades blows with high-end AMD server and workstation parts.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110 has no such rival data. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and its nearest rivals list is empty. This confirms that the database contains no measured performance for this chip, so any direct comparison must rely on the architectural differences and the percentile standing alone.

# The Verdict

The database's recorded measurements indicate that the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 is the clear performance leader in every benchmarked category. Its 95th percentile standing, 24 cores, 5.60 GHz boost clock, and 48,945 Cinebench R23 multi-core score place it firmly in the high-end desktop segment. Its nearest rivals, all AMD EPYC or Ryzen 7 PRO parts, sit within 0.3 percent of its average score, confirming that it competes at the top of the CPU hierarchy.

The AMD Ryzen 3 110, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores. Its 50th percentile standing reflects a mid-range position among all CPUs. Its design priorities are low power consumption at 28 W, mobile integration on Socket FP7, and a compact 4-core configuration. It is not a competitor to the Intel part in raw throughput, nor should it be expected to be. The data shows two processors with different market segments, different power envelopes, and different performance ceilings.

For users selecting between these two, the choice is dictated by platform and workload. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 is a desktop processor with a launch MSRP of $579, built for multi-threaded desktop tasks such as rendering, compilation, and heavy productivity. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 is a mobile processor with no recorded launch MSRP, built for efficient portable computing where battery life and thermals take priority over absolute performance. The recorded data does not support any scenario where the AMD chip outperforms the Intel chip in compute-heavy benchmarks.

The specification table confirms the architectural chasm. The Intel chip uses a newer 3 nm node, more than doubles the die size, carries 24 cores, and provides a much larger cache hierarchy at every level. The AMD chip offers a lower TDP, a higher base clock, and a smaller physical footprint. The only shared features are DDR5 memory support, dual-channel memory bus, ECC capability, integrated graphics, active production status, and a locked multiplier. Every other field shows a deliberate separation between a mobile efficiency part and a desktop performance part.
