AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Intel Core i5-110 occupy distinctly different positions in the database. The AMD part carries an average benchmark score of 37,904, while the Intel chip shows no recorded benchmark entries, leaving direct head-to-head comparisons unavailable from the recorded data. What can be analyzed is how each processor positions against the broader field.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 sits at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, based on average score, include the Intel Core i9-14901E at 37,911 (a 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X at 37,943 (0.1% ahead of the HX 370), the Intel Core 5 211E at 37,829 (0.2% behind), and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 at 37,804 (0.3% behind). These deltas are all under half a percentage point, meaning the HX 370 trades blows with a tightly clustered set of high-end processors. The data shows a near-tie across the board, with the HX 370 effectively matching the i9-14901E and falling just 0.1% short of the Ryzen 7 9700X in average score.

Within its own benchmark suite, the HX 370 shows a wide spread of capabilities. In Cinebench R23, it records a multi-core score of 21,761 and a single-core score of 2,018. The multi-core result is roughly 10.8 times the single-core figure, a ratio that reflects the 12-core, 24-thread configuration. In Geekbench, the multi-core score of 15,242 against a single-core score of 2,407 yields a scaling factor of about 6.3, which is lower than the Cinebench ratio due to different workload characteristics. The 3DMark results show a progression from 1,153 in single-thread to 9,725 in max-threads, with intermediate scores of 2,179 (2 threads), 3,970 (4 threads), 6,992 (8 threads), and 9,365 (16 threads). The jump from 8 threads to 16 threads is about 34%, while the jump from 16 threads to max threads is only about 3.8%, indicating that the processor has limited headroom beyond 16 active threads in this test.

PassMark results for the HX 370 reveal strong integer performance: integer math scores 122,933, while floating point math scores 76,892, a 60% advantage for integer operations. The data compression score of 445,719 and encryption score of 22,252 show a large gap, with compression outperforming encryption by a factor of roughly 20. Extended instructions score 31,653, and prime number finding scores 126. The multi-thread PassMark score of 35,148 is nearly nine times the single-thread score of 3,973, demonstrating effective scaling across the 24 threads.

For the Intel Core i5-110, the database records no benchmark scores. Its percentile ranking of 50 places it exactly at the median of all CPUs, which suggests mid-pack performance, but without numeric results, no direct comparisons to the HX 370 can be made from the recorded data. The absence of benchmark entries for the i5-110 means that any head-to-head analysis must rely on specification-level differences rather than measured outcomes.

The Verdict

The data positions the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 as a high-end mobile processor with substantial multi-threaded capability. Its 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs, combined with an average score of 37,904, places it in the upper tier of the database. The near-zero deltas against the Intel Core i9-14901E and AMD Ryzen 7 9700X indicate that the HX 370 delivers performance consistent with those flagship-class parts, despite its mobile form factor and 28 W TDP.

The Intel Core i5-110, by contrast, presents a profile with no measured performance data. Its 50th percentile rank places it at the median, but the lack of benchmark scores means the database cannot confirm any performance claim. The i5-110 is a desktop part with a 65 W TDP, a 14 nm process node, and Comet Lake architecture, which are all older or less advanced than the HX 370's specifications. For users selecting between these two, the HX 370 is the only option with recorded performance evidence, and that evidence shows a processor at the 86th percentile. The i5-110 offers no recorded scores to evaluate, so any performance expectation must remain speculative.

From the recorded data, the HX 370 is the clear choice for workloads that benefit from high multi-threaded throughput, such as rendering or compilation, given its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,761 and PassMark multi-thread score of 35,148. The i5-110, with no scores, cannot be compared on those terms. The HX 370 also holds advantages in memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s versus 42.7 GB/s), process node (4 nm versus 14 nm), and core count (12 versus 6), all of which are recorded facts that favor AMD's part.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every specification field. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Core i5-110 has 6 cores and 12 threads. The HX 370 runs a base clock of 2.00 GHz with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz; the i5-110 runs a base clock of 2.90 GHz with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. Thermal design power differs significantly: the HX 370 is rated at 28 W, the i5-110 at 65 W.

The HX 370 uses AMD Socket FP8, while the i5-110 uses Intel Socket 1200. Memory support diverges: the HX 370 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, the i5-110 supports DDR4. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the recorded bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s for the HX 370 and 42.7 GB/s for the i5-110. PCIe generation and lane counts also differ: the HX 370 uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the i5-110 uses Gen 3 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics differ as well: the HX 370 includes Radeon 890M, while the i5-110 includes UHD Graphics 630. Market segments are distinct, with the HX 370 listed as Mobile and the i5-110 as Desktop. The launch MSRP for the i5-110 is $200; the HX 370 has no recorded launch MSRP. The HX 370 has a part number of 100-000000994, and the i5-110 has part number SA35X. Both processors are listed as Active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between the two parts is substantial. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is built on the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Strix Point, part of the Ryzen AI 300 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture, also its codename, from the Core i5 generation, and is fabricated on a 14 nm process at Intel. The HX 370's process node is three generations ahead in terms of lithography, which contributes to its higher core count and lower TDP despite a higher boost clock.

Cache layouts differ markedly. The HX 370 has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The i5-110 has 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The HX 370's per-core L2 is four times larger, and its total L3 is 33% larger. The HX 370 also lists a die size of 233 mm², while the i5-110 has no recorded die size.

Neither processor supports ECC memory, and neither has unlocked multipliers. The HX 370's release date is recorded as 2024-06-30, while the i5-110's release date is 2025-09-10, making the Intel part a later entry despite its older architecture. The HX 370's Radeon 890M integrated graphics and the i5-110's UHD Graphics 630 represent different tiers of iGPU capability, though the database provides no benchmark scores for either GPU. The architectural differences, particularly the 4 nm versus 14 nm process and the Zen 5 versus Comet Lake core designs, explain the HX 370's superior recorded performance metrics and its placement at the 86th percentile versus the i5-110's 50th percentile.
