AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark runs for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G and the Intel Core i5-110. With zero recorded wins for either processor, the comparative performance picture must be assembled from the architectural and specification data available in the database rather than from direct measurement results.

The absence of benchmark scores means there are no exact performance deltas to cite. What the data does show is a structural mismatch in core configuration, memory throughput, and process technology that strongly favors the AMD part on paper. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G carries 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i5-110 carries 6 cores and 12 threads. That is a 33% advantage in core count and a 33% advantage in thread count for AMD, which typically translates into a meaningful lead in multi-threaded workloads when all cores are utilized.

Clock speeds tell a more nuanced story. The Intel part has a higher base clock at 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz for AMD, a 0.90 GHz difference. But the AMD part has a significantly higher boost clock at 5.10 GHz versus 4.30 GHz for Intel, a 0.80 GHz difference in the other direction. This suggests the Intel chip sustains a higher floor of performance in lightly threaded tasks, while the AMD chip can reach a higher ceiling when boosting on fewer cores.

Memory bandwidth is another decisive differentiator. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G records 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, while the Intel Core i5-110 records 42.7 GB/s. That is more than double the bandwidth for AMD, a 109.8% advantage. For workloads that are memory-bound, such as large data processing or certain scientific simulations, this gap can be the dominant factor in real-world performance.

The production process also diverges sharply. AMD uses a 4 nm TSMC node, while Intel uses a 14 nm node. The smaller node typically provides better power efficiency per clock and higher transistor density, which aligns with the observed clock and bandwidth advantages.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design eras. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G is built on the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which the database identifies as Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture. The Intel Core i5-110 is built on the Comet Lake architecture, a design that predates the Zen 5 generation by several product cycles.

Process node differences are stark: AMD uses TSMC 4 nm, Intel uses its own 14 nm process. The foundry also differs, with AMD relying on TSMC and Intel on its in-house fabrication. The die size for AMD is recorded at 195 mm², while Intel's die size is not listed in the database.

Cache layouts reveal different design philosophies. The AMD chip allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, with 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip allocates 64 KB of L1 per core and 256 KB of L2 per core, with 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Intel's larger shared L3 pool at 12 MB versus AMD's 8 MB may benefit workloads that repeatedly access a moderate-sized working set, while AMD's larger per-core L2 at 1 MB versus 256 KB helps with per-thread data locality.

Memory support also differs at the protocol level. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while Intel supports DDR4. Both are dual-channel, but the memory bandwidth figures already captured the consequence: 89.6 GB/s for AMD versus 42.7 GB/s for Intel. AMD also supports ECC memory, while Intel does not.

PCIe connectivity is another point of divergence. AMD provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The AMD part delivers a newer PCIe generation with higher per-lane bandwidth, though Intel offers more total lanes for expansion devices.

Integrated graphics differ as well. AMD uses a Radeon 860M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 630. The database does not include benchmark scores for either iGPU, so no performance comparison can be drawn from the recorded data.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded specifications, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G holds clear advantages in several workload categories. Its 8-core, 16-thread configuration gives it a structural edge in multi-threaded rendering, video encoding, compilation, and any workload that scales with core count. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth supports data-heavy tasks such as large database queries, scientific computing, and virtual machine hosting. The 5.10 GHz boost clock allows it to remain competitive in single-threaded tasks that rely on peak frequency. The Radeon 860M integrated graphics likely provide a stronger iGPU experience than Intel's UHD Graphics 630, though the database does not quantify this.

The Intel Core i5-110 has its own areas where the recorded data suggests an advantage. Its 2.90 GHz base clock is substantially higher than AMD's 2.00 GHz base clock, which can lead to more consistent performance in sustained all-core loads where boost clocks are not maintained. The 12 MB shared L3 cache is 50% larger than AMD's 8 MB L3, which may benefit workloads with a working set that fits within that larger pool, such as certain gaming scenarios or database indexing. The 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes provide more expansion capacity than AMD's 12 Gen 4 lanes, which matters for systems with multiple add-in cards. Intel's DDR4 support may also be an advantage for users with existing DDR4 memory infrastructure, though the database does not assess ecosystem compatibility.

The production status for both is listed as Active, and both target the desktop market segment.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a clear structural hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G leads in core count, thread count, boost clock, memory bandwidth, process node, ECC support, and PCIe generation. The Intel Core i5-110 leads in base clock, L3 cache size, and PCIe lane count, and it has a listed launch MSRP of $200 while AMD's is not recorded in the database.

For workloads that depend on parallel execution, memory throughput, or peak single-thread boost, the AMD processor holds the advantage on paper. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration combined with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth makes it the stronger candidate for multi-threaded productivity, content creation, and memory-intensive computing. The 4 nm process and Zen 5 architecture indicate a newer design with likely better performance per watt, though the database does not include power efficiency benchmarks to confirm.

For workloads that depend on sustained base-clock performance, larger shared cache, or more expansion lanes, the Intel processor has distinct characteristics. The 2.90 GHz base clock is 45% higher than AMD's 2.00 GHz base clock, which may translate to steadier performance in all-core sustained loads. The 12 MB shared L3 cache is larger than AMD's 8 MB, and the 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes exceed AMD's 12 Gen 4 lanes in raw count.

The database records no direct benchmark comparisons, so these conclusions rest on specification analysis rather than measured performance. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G appears positioned for users who need maximum core count, memory bandwidth, and modern platform features. The Intel Core i5-110 appears positioned for users who prioritize base-clock stability, larger shared cache, and greater expansion capacity within a DDR4 ecosystem. Both processors remain in active production as of the recorded dates, with AMD released in March 2026 and Intel in September 2025.
