AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

The Verdict

The data positions the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G as the clearly stronger desktop processor. Its average benchmark score of 40,718 places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel Core i5-110 sits in the 50th percentile with no recorded average score. The AMD part uses a 4 nm process, supports DDR5 memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and includes a Radeon 840M integrated GPU. The Intel part uses a 14 nm process, supports DDR4 with 42.7 GB/s bandwidth, and includes UHD Graphics 630. For any workload where the database has measurements, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G is the choice. The Intel Core i5-110 offers a higher base clock of 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, but that does not compensate for the architectural and memory advantages of the AMD part. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $200, but no pricing data exists for the AMD chip, so no direct comparison is possible from the recorded information.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, codenamed Gorgon Point, and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation using Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i5-110 is built on a 14 nm process at Intel, codenamed Comet Lake, and belongs to the Core i5 Comet Lake generation. This node gap is significant, as the AMD part packs more transistors per area and operates at a different power efficiency profile, though the database does not list transistor counts or die sizes for either.

Cache layouts differ substantially. The AMD part provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip has three times the L3 capacity, which historically helps with certain repeated-access workloads, but the AMD chip uses a larger per-core L2 and a newer memory subsystem.

Memory support is another major divergence. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G supports DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i5-110 supports DDR4 with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s. That is more than a 2x difference in theoretical memory bandwidth, which directly impacts many integer, floating-point, and data-intensive tasks. The AMD part also supports ECC memory; the Intel part does not.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD chip uses PCIe Gen 4 with 10 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel part offers more lanes for expansion, but each lane runs at an older standard. Integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 840M, the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 630. The database does not provide graphics benchmark scores, so no performance comparison is possible for the iGPU.

Both processors have 6 cores and 12 threads, both are unlocked for multipliers, and both have a TDP of 65. Sockets differ: the AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1200. Release dates differ, with the AMD part listed as 2026-03-01 and the Intel part as 2025-09-10.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between these two chips. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G, however, has a full set of PassMark measurements, while the Intel Core i5-110 has no benchmark scores recorded at all. The absence of Intel scores means the comparison relies entirely on the AMD part's absolute numbers and its percentile rank.

The AMD chip scores 253,484 in PassMark data compression, 12,111 in data encryption, 18,697 in extended instructions, 55 in find prime numbers, 43,494 in floating point math, 63,707 in integer math, 20,285 in multithread, 999 in physics, 27,407 in random string sorting, and 3,829 in both single-thread tests. Its average benchmark score is 40,718, which places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The nearest rivals in the database for the AMD chip are all Intel processors with average scores close to 40,718. The Intel Xeon 6357P scores 40,630, which is 0.2% lower. The Intel Core 5 223PE scores 40,585, 0.3% lower. The Intel Core 7 253PE scores 40,557, 0.4% lower. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H scores 40,518, 0.5% lower. These deltas show that the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G sits at the top of a tight cluster of Intel chips in the 40,500 to 40,700 range, leading the nearest rival by only 0.2%.

The Intel Core i5-110 has no benchmark entries, no average score, and no nearest rivals listed. Its percentile rank of 50 indicates that half of all CPUs in the database score above it, but no specific score is available to quantify the gap. The recorded data shows the AMD chip outperforms the Intel chip across every measurable dimension, but the exact margin cannot be stated because the Intel chip lacks scores.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G wins in every category where the database has measurements. Its single-thread score of 3,829 and multithread score of 20,285 indicate strong performance in both lightly threaded and heavily threaded applications. The integer math score of 63,707 and floating point math score of 43,494 show balanced compute capability. The data compression score of 253,484 is the highest recorded score across all of its benchmarks, indicating particular strength in compression and decompression workloads. The random string sorting score of 27,407 and extended instructions score of 18,697 further support a profile suited to general productivity and data manipulation tasks.

The AMD chip's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, combined with DDR5 support, gives it an advantage in memory-bound workloads such as large dataset processing, virtual machines, and database operations. The Zen 5 and Zen 5c core architecture on a 4 nm process provides a modern foundation that the database's percentile rank confirms, as the chip sits above 87% of all CPUs.

The Intel Core i5-110 has no recorded benchmark wins. Its higher base clock of 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz is the only quantitative advantage listed in the database, but without any benchmark scores, that clock difference cannot be tied to a performance outcome. Its larger shared L3 cache of 12 MB versus 4 MB could theoretically benefit certain cache-sensitive workloads, but no measurements exist to confirm that. Its 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes exceed the AMD part's 10 PCIe Gen 4 lanes in lane count, but the newer PCIe standard on the AMD side changes the effective bandwidth comparison.

For users prioritizing the recorded performance data, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G is the only chip with evidence of capability. The Intel Core i5-110's role appears limited to scenarios where its socket, memory type, or lane count are requirements, but the database provides no performance metrics to support any workload-specific recommendation.
