AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and the Intel Core i5-110 presents an unusual comparison challenge: the AMD part has a full suite of PassMark benchmark scores across ten distinct workloads, while the Intel Core i5-110 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database at all. This absence of data for the Intel processor means a direct, score-to-score comparison is not possible. The analysis must instead rely on the AMD processor's absolute performance, its percentile ranking, and its position relative to other CPUs in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 delivers a multi-threaded PassMark score of 45231. This score places it in the 96th percentile of all CPUs tracked. That percentile figure indicates the processor outperforms the vast majority of database entries. The single-thread score is recorded at 3927, which is a strong result for a mobile processor, though the multi-thread figure is the more dominant metric.

Looking at the workload breakdown, the Intel Core i5-110's absence of scores is the decisive factor. The AMD part's highest raw scores come from data compression at 554760 and floating point math at 99548. Integer math reaches 152414, while extended instructions hit 45666. Random string sorting records 59487, and data encryption scores 27784. The find prime numbers test returns 320, and physics scores 2887.

The average benchmark score for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 is 90541. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Xeon 654, which averages 90717, a delta of negative 0.2 percent. The AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX averages 91199, a negative 0.7 percent delta. The Intel Xeon w7-2575X averages 88172, a positive 2.7 percent delta for the Ryzen AI Max+ 392. The Intel Xeon 6736P averages 87864, a positive 3 percent delta. These figures show the AMD part is effectively tied with the top Xeon and Ryzen 9 parts, while sitting slightly ahead of the other Xeon models.

For the Intel Core i5-110, the database lists no benchmarks and no rivals. Its percentile versus all CPUs is 50, which is the median. Since there are no scores, there are no wins to attribute to either processor in the head-to-head column. The data confirms the AMD processor has a measurable performance profile, while the Intel processor's profile is entirely unmeasured in this database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 wins every measurable category by default, simply because the Intel Core i5-110 has no recorded scores. The AMD processor's multi-thread score of 45231 indicates strong parallel workload performance. The floating point math score of 99548 and integer math score of 152414 suggest the processor handles arithmetic-heavy tasks with substantial throughput. Data compression at 554760 is the single highest raw score, indicating a particular strength in compression and decompression workloads. Encryption at 27784 and extended instructions at 45666 also show solid results.

The Intel Core i5-110 cannot be assigned any wins from the data. Its percentile of 50 is the only performance-related field, placing it at the median of the database, but without a benchmark score, there is no basis for a workload-specific advantage. The AMD part's 96th percentile, by contrast, places it near the top of the entire database.

For use-case segmentation, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 demonstrates capability in multi-threaded rendering, scientific computation, and data processing based on the high integer, floating point, and compression scores. The Intel Core i5-110's lack of data means any use-case claim for it would be unsupported by measurements.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Core i5-110 has 6 cores and 12 threads. The AMD base clock is 3.20 GHz, and its boost clock is 5.00 GHz. The Intel base clock is 2.90 GHz, and its boost clock is 4.30 GHz.

Thermal design power differs significantly: the AMD part is rated at 55 TDP, while the Intel part is rated at 65 TDP. The sockets are incompatible, with the AMD using AMD Socket FP11 and the Intel using Intel Socket 1200. Memory support diverges completely: the AMD processor supports LPDDR5X with a quad-channel memory bus and 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Intel processor supports DDR4 with a dual-channel memory bus and 42.7 GB/s of bandwidth.

ECC memory support is present on the AMD part, while the Intel part has no ECC support. PCIe connectivity differs, with the AMD offering Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only) and the Intel offering Gen 3 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics are the Radeon 8060S on the AMD side and the UHD Graphics 630 on the Intel side. Market segments differ, with the AMD classified as Mobile and the Intel as Desktop. The release dates are far apart, with the AMD released on 2026-01-05 and the Intel on 2025-09-10. The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $200, while the AMD part has no launch MSRP listed. The Intel part number is SA35X, and the AMD part number is 100-000001979.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between the two processors is substantial. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Strix Halo, in the Ryzen AI Max generation. It is built on a 4 nm process node at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture, in the Core i5 generation, built on a 14 nm process node at Intel. The process node difference, 4 nm versus 14 nm, is a major generational leap in fabrication technology.

Cache structures differ in both size and organization. The AMD processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 64 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 256 KB of L2 cache per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD die size is recorded as 2x 70.6 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded.

The memory architecture is a fundamental difference. The AMD part uses LPDDR5X with a quad-channel bus delivering 256.0 GB/s, while the Intel part uses DDR4 with a dual-channel bus delivering 42.7 GB/s. This memory bandwidth difference, a factor of roughly six, affects all memory-intensive workloads. The AMD processor also supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not.

The production status for both is listed as Active, but the launch dates place the AMD release in early 2026 and the Intel release in late 2025. The AMD part has a multiplier that is not unlocked, and the Intel part is likewise not unlocked. The Intel part's socket, Intel Socket 1200, is from an older desktop platform, while the AMD's Socket FP11 is a mobile-focused package.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear asymmetry. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 has a complete performance profile, with an average benchmark score of 90541, a 96th percentile ranking, and specific strengths in multi-threaded and math-heavy workloads. Its nearest rivals are all high-end server and desktop processors, and it trades blows with them within a narrow 3 percent band. The AMD part is ahead of the Intel Xeon w7-2575X by 2.7 percent and the Intel Xeon 6736P by 3 percent, while trailing the Intel Xeon 654 by 0.2 percent and the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX by 0.7 percent.

The Intel Core i5-110 has no recorded benchmark scores. Its 50th percentile ranking is the only performance indicator, and that figure carries no weight without a measured score. The only concrete advantage the Intel part holds is its launch MSRP of $200, but pricing is not part of performance analysis. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 12 MB L3 cache and DDR4 memory support places it in a different performance class, but the database does not contain measurements to quantify that difference.

For any workload requiring multi-threaded throughput, high memory bandwidth, or advanced fabrication efficiency, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 is the only processor in this comparison with supporting data. The 4 nm process node, quad-channel LPDDR5X memory, and 64 MB L3 cache all point to a modern, high-capability design. The Intel Core i5-110, with its 14 nm process, dual-channel DDR4, and 12 MB L3 cache, is an older design, but without benchmarks, its practical performance cannot be assessed. The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the AMD processor has a measured performance profile that places it at the 96th percentile, and the Intel processor has no measured profile at all.
