AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

The Verdict

The data shows two 6-core, 12-thread desktop processors aimed at similar mainstream slots but built for entirely different platforms and eras. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE targets builders on the modern AMD Socket AM5 platform, with a 35 W TDP, DDR5 memory support, and ECC capability. The Intel Core i5-110 sits on the legacy Intel Socket 1200 platform, consumes 65 W, and uses DDR4 memory. The AMD part offers a substantially higher boost clock at 4.80 GHz versus 4.30 GHz for Intel, while Intel holds a higher base clock at 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz for AMD. The recorded data positions both at the 50th percentile among all CPUs, but the architectural gap is wide: AMD uses a 4 nm TSMC process with a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c design, while Intel uses a 14 nm Intel process with the older Comet Lake architecture. The Core i5-110 carries a launch MSRP of $200, a figure the database lists only for that part. The AMD chip is the choice for those prioritizing power efficiency, a newer memory standard, ECC support, and a modern socket with an unlocked multiplier. The Intel chip suits those tied to the older Socket 1200 ecosystem or who need a higher base clock for lightly threaded steady-state workloads, though its higher TDP and older process are clear drawbacks.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark data set for this pair is empty, so the analysis relies on the recorded specification fields and the nearest-rival structure. Both processors share identical core and thread counts at 6 cores and 12 threads, so the comparison hinges on clock speeds, process technology, memory bandwidth, and platform features.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE holds a clear advantage in boost frequency, reaching 4.80 GHz against the Intel part's 4.30 GHz. That 0.50 GHz gap suggests a meaningful edge in single-thread burst workloads where the newer Zen 5 / Zen 5c design can scale to its maximum clock. On the base clock side, the Intel Core i5-110 runs at 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz for AMD. The Intel part's higher base clock may sustain steady workloads at a higher floor frequency, but it does so at a 65 W TDP, which is nearly double the AMD part's 35 W TDP.

Memory bandwidth is a decisive differentiator in the recorded data. The AMD chip supports DDR5 with a measured 89.6 GB/s, which is more than double the Intel chip's 42.7 GB/s over DDR4. For memory-sensitive workloads, that bandwidth advantage can translate into faster data movement and better scaling in multi-threaded applications. The AMD chip also supports ECC memory, a feature absent on the Intel part, which matters for error-sensitive computing environments.

Process technology strongly favors AMD. The 4 nm TSMC node versus Intel's 14 nm node represents a generational jump in density and power efficiency. The lower TDP on the AMD part, 35 W versus 65 W, aligns with the smaller process node and suggests lower thermal output. The AMD die size is recorded at 195 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded, so no direct area comparison is possible.

Cache configuration differs in structure. The AMD part allocates 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3, while the Intel part allocates 256 KB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip holds a larger L3 pool, which can help in workloads with repeated data access across cores, but the AMD chip's larger per-core L2 may reduce latency for core-local data.

PCIe capability also splits the two. The AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes. Gen 4 doubles the per-lane bandwidth of Gen 3, so even with fewer lanes, the AMD platform offers higher total PCIe bandwidth for compatible devices. The Intel part's extra lanes may matter for users adding many expansion cards, but the older standard limits per-device throughput.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD chip uses the Radeon 840M, while the Intel chip uses the UHD Graphics 630. The Radeon 840M is tied to the newer AMD platform and memory type, while the UHD Graphics 630 is tied to the older Comet Lake design. The database records no benchmark scores for either iGPU, so no direct performance comparison is available.

The multiplier status is another differentiator. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has an unlocked multiplier, enabling user overclocking. The Intel Core i5-110 is locked, so its clock behavior is constrained to the factory configuration. That distinction gives the AMD part flexibility for enthusiasts, though the database does not record any overclocking results.

Both processors sit at the 50th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with no average benchmark scores recorded for either. The nearest-rival fields are empty for both parts, so there are no external rival deltas to cite. The head-to-head benchmark array is also empty, meaning no direct measured wins exist for either side. The comparison is therefore entirely specification-based. The AMD chip wins on boost clock, process node, memory bandwidth, memory standard, ECC support, TDP efficiency, PCIe generation, and multiplier unlock. The Intel chip wins on base clock, L3 cache size, and PCIe lane count. The release dates place the AMD part at 2026-02-28 and the Intel part at 2025-09-10, making the AMD chip the later release. The Intel part is the only one with a launch MSRP recorded, listed at $200.
