Where Each One Wins

The recorded database information separates these two processors clearly by workload profile and platform capability. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE takes the advantage in scenarios that benefit from higher boost frequencies, newer memory technology, and a more efficient manufacturing process. The 4.80 GHz boost clock gives it a measurable edge in lightly threaded tasks where a single core can ramp to maximum frequency. The DDR5 memory support with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth more than doubles the memory throughput available to the Intel part, which matters for memory-sensitive applications such as large dataset manipulation, virtualization workloads, and integrated graphics performance.

The Intel Core i5-110 wins in scenarios that rely on its larger shared L3 cache. With 12 MB of shared L3 cache compared to the AMD chip's 8 MB, the Intel processor holds more working data closer to the cores. This benefits certain database workloads, compilation tasks, and applications with moderate working sets that fit within that 12 MB pool. The Intel part also has a higher base clock at 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, which means it sustains a higher minimum frequency under all-core loads when boost headroom is limited by thermal or power constraints.

The Intel processor supports PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the AMD processor supports PCIe Gen 4 with 12 lanes. The AMD part's Gen 4 interface doubles the per-lane bandwidth, which favors high-throughput storage devices and modern GPUs that can use the extra bandwidth. The Intel part's 16 lanes provide more physical connectivity for expansion cards, which can matter for systems with multiple add-in devices.

For platform longevity and features, the AMD Socket AM5 platform supports DDR5 and ECC memory, making it the choice for users who prioritize memory reliability and future memory standards. The Intel Socket 1200 platform with DDR4 support remains compatible with widely available and mature memory infrastructure.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design generations. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation built on the Zen 5 and Zen 5c core architecture. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture, belonging to the Core i5 Comet Lake generation, and is manufactured on Intel's 14 nm process.

The cache hierarchy differs significantly between the two. The AMD processor provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, with 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 256 KB of L2 cache per core, with 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD design gives each core four times as much L2 cache, which benefits workloads with per-thread locality. The Intel design pools more L3 cache across all cores, which benefits workloads that share data between threads.

The process node difference is substantial. The 4 nm TSMC process allows the AMD processor to achieve a 35 W TDP while still reaching a 4.80 GHz boost clock. The Intel processor, on the 14 nm process, requires a 65 W TDP to reach a 4.30 GHz boost clock. This efficiency gap reflects the generational difference in manufacturing technology.

The integrated graphics solutions also differ architecturally. The AMD processor uses Radeon 840M graphics, while the Intel processor uses UHD Graphics 630. The memory bandwidth available to these graphics units differs dramatically: the AMD part has 89.6 GB/s available through DDR5, while the Intel part has 42.7 GB/s through DDR4. This directly affects integrated graphics performance in gaming and GPU-accelerated workloads.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several key specifications recorded in the database.

The base clock differs: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE runs at 2.00 GHz, while the Intel Core i5-110 runs at 2.90 GHz. The boost clock also differs: 4.80 GHz for the AMD part versus 4.30 GHz for the Intel part.

TDP differs substantially. The AMD processor is rated at 35 W, while the Intel processor is rated at 65 W.

The socket platforms are different. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1200.

The process node and foundry differ. The AMD processor uses TSMC's 4 nm process, while the Intel processor uses Intel's 14 nm process. The AMD processor has a die size of 195 mm², while the Intel processor's die size is not recorded.

Cache configurations differ. The AMD processor has 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 8 MB L3. The Intel processor has 64 KB L1 per core, 256 KB L2 per core, and 12 MB shared L3.

Memory support differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, plus ECC memory support. The Intel processor supports DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 42.7 GB/s bandwidth, without ECC support.

PCIe support differs. The AMD processor provides PCIe Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain direct head-to-head benchmark scores for these two processors, and neither processor has recorded average benchmark scores or nearest rival comparisons. The analysis must therefore rely on the specification data to project relative performance characteristics.

The most decisive specification advantage for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE is memory bandwidth. The AMD part provides 89.6 GB/s through DDR5, which is 109.8% higher than the Intel Core i5-110's 42.7 GB/s through DDR4. This more than doubles the theoretical memory throughput, which directly impacts any workload that streams data through memory. Integrated graphics performance, in particular, scales strongly with memory bandwidth, so the Radeon 840M in the AMD processor has a substantial throughput advantage over the UHD Graphics 630 in the Intel processor.

The boost clock advantage belongs to the AMD processor. At 4.80 GHz versus 4.30 GHz, the AMD part holds an 11.6% higher maximum frequency. For single-threaded and lightly threaded workloads that can reach boost clocks, this translates into a proportional performance advantage, assuming similar instructions per clock. The Zen 5 and Zen 5c architecture in the AMD processor is a newer design than Comet Lake, so it is reasonable to expect it to deliver more instructions per clock at the same frequency, but the database does not record IPC figures.

The base clock advantage belongs to the Intel processor. At 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, the Intel part runs 45% higher at its minimum sustained frequency. Under sustained all-core loads where boost clocks cannot be maintained, the Intel processor's higher base clock narrows the gap. The Intel processor's 65 W TDP provides more thermal headroom for sustained operation, while the AMD processor's 35 W TDP indicates a much lower power envelope.

The L3 cache advantage belongs to the Intel processor. With 12 MB of shared L3 versus 8 MB, the Intel part holds 50% more shared cache. The AMD processor counters with a much larger per-core L2 cache: 1 MB per core versus 256 KB per core, a 4x difference. This tradeoff means the AMD processor excels with per-thread working sets, while the Intel processor excels with shared data access patterns.

The PCIe generation advantage belongs to the AMD processor. PCIe Gen 4 doubles the per-lane bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3, so the AMD part's 12 Gen 4 lanes provide 24 GT/s of total bandwidth versus the Intel part's 16 Gen 3 lanes at 16 GT/s. The AMD processor delivers 50% more total PCIe bandwidth despite having fewer lanes.

Process node efficiency heavily favors the AMD processor. The 4 nm TSMC process versus Intel's 14 nm process represents a three-generation jump in manufacturing technology. The AMD processor achieves a higher boost clock while dissipating less than half the TDP of the Intel processor (35 W versus 65 W). This efficiency gap affects cooling requirements, system power draw, and potentially sustained performance in thermally constrained environments.

The ECC memory support difference gives the AMD processor an advantage in reliability-sensitive workloads. The AMD part supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not. For workstation and server-adjacent use cases, this can be a deciding factor.

The Verdict

The database information points to two distinct usage profiles for these processors.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE is the stronger choice for users who prioritize memory bandwidth, power efficiency, and modern platform features. Its DDR5 support with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, ECC memory capability, PCIe Gen 4 connectivity, and 35 W TDP make it suitable for compact systems, low-power builds, and workloads that benefit from high throughput memory access. The 4.80 GHz boost clock and the modern Zen 5 and Zen 5c architecture on a 4 nm process position it as the more advanced processor overall. The 195 mm² die size and active production status indicate a current-generation product.

The Intel Core i5-110 is the stronger choice for users who need maximum sustained all-core frequency, larger shared cache, and broader physical PCIe connectivity. Its 2.90 GHz base clock, 12 MB shared L3 cache, and 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes serve workloads with heavy multi-threaded throughput requirements and shared data patterns. The 65 W TDP provides more sustained power headroom, and the DDR4 memory support offers compatibility with mature memory infrastructure. The launch MSRP of $200 positions it in the mainstream desktop segment.

Both processors support 6 cores and 12 threads, so raw thread counts do not differentiate them. The decision rests on platform priorities: the AMD processor delivers a newer socket, faster memory, better efficiency, and ECC support, while the Intel processor delivers a higher base clock, more shared cache, and more physical PCIe lanes. Users building on AMD Socket AM5 with DDR5 memory gain the bandwidth and efficiency advantages. Users with existing Intel Socket 1200 platforms or DDR4 memory infrastructure will find the Intel processor a functional fit.

The production status for both processors is listed as active, and both have locked multipliers, so neither offers overclocking via multiplier adjustment. The benchmark database does not yet contain performance scores for either processor, so the analysis rests on the recorded architectural and specification data. The 50th percentile ranking for both processors in the overall CPU database indicates they sit in the middle of the performance distribution, though no comparative benchmark scores are available to refine this positioning.
