Intel Core 5 211E vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

The Verdict

The data places the Intel Core 5 211E and the Intel Core i5-110 in different performance strata. The Core 5 211E posts an average benchmark score of 37,829 and sits at the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Core i5-110, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile placement. The Core 5 211E delivers a 10-core, 16-thread configuration with a 4.90 GHz boost clock, while the Core i5-110 uses 6 cores, 12 threads, and a 4.30 GHz boost. The Core 5 211E is the processor for workloads that demand multi-threaded throughput and higher peak frequencies. The Core i5-110, lacking any recorded measurements, cannot be positioned as a performance alternative; the database only confirms its existence, its specifications, and its mid-pack percentile ranking. The Core 5 211E also supports DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5, whereas the Core i5-110 is limited to DDR4 and PCIe Gen 3. For any task where measured output matters, the Core 5 211E is the only one of the two with data to support a choice.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel families and process nodes. The Core 5 211E uses the Bartlett Lake codename on a 10 nm process node. The Core i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture on a 14 nm node. Intel manufactures both. The Core 5 211E has 10 cores and 16 threads, while the Core i5-110 has 6 cores and 12 threads. Cache structures differ substantially. The Core 5 211E provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-110 provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core 5 211E has a die size of 257 mm²; the Core i5-110 has no die size recorded. Memory support also diverges: the Core 5 211E handles both DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration with 76.8 GB/s of memory bandwidth, whereas the Core i5-110 supports only DDR4, also dual-channel, with 42.7 GB/s. ECC memory is supported on the Core 5 211E but not on the Core i5-110. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the Core 5 211E uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, the Core i5-110 uses Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics are present on both, with the Core 5 211E carrying UHD Graphics 730 and the Core i5-110 carrying UHD Graphics 630. Both are desktop parts with active production status, both have locked multipliers, and both use 65 W TDP. The Core 5 211E sits in the Core 5 generation for Bartlett Lake, while the Core i5-110 belongs to the Core i5 generation for Comet Lake.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark entries between the Intel Core 5 211E and the Intel Core i5-110. The wins count for both processors is zero. The Core i5-110 has an empty benchmark array, so no Cinebench R15, R20, R23, PassMark, or any other recorded scores exist for it. The Core 5 211E, however, has a full set of measurements. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 20,389 and its single-core score is 2,878. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8,563 multicore and 1,208 single-core. Cinebench R15 shows 2,055 multicore and 289 single-core. PassMark tests on the Core 5 211E include a multithread score of 23,833, single-thread score of 4,006, integer math at 88,117, floating point math at 66,402, extended instructions at 21,592, data compression at 346,757, data encryption at 17,938, physics at 702, random string sorting at 34,308, and prime number finding at 43. These recorded results give the Core 5 211E a percentile rank of 86 among all CPUs, which places it above the median. The Core i5-110's 50th percentile is exactly the median, but with no measurements behind it, that rank cannot be tied to any specific workload performance. The nearest rivals to the Core 5 211E in the database are the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 with an average score of 37,804 and a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 with 37,762 and a delta of 0.2%, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with 37,904 and a delta of -0.2%, and the Intel Core i9-14901E with 37,911 and a delta of -0.2%. The Core 5 211E's average benchmark score of 37,829 is within 0.2% of all four of those parts, indicating it clusters tightly with them in overall measured performance. No such comparison exists for the Core i5-110 because its nearest rivals list is empty.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 211E wins in every category where the database holds recorded measurements. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20,389 and single-core score of 2,878 indicate strong performance in both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads. The PassMark multithread score of 23,833 and single-thread score of 4,006 reinforce that pattern. Data-heavy tasks show particular strength: data compression scores 346,757, integer math scores 88,117, and floating point math scores 66,402. Extended instructions at 21,592 and random string sorting at 34,308 round out a broad set of compute strengths. The 86th percentile ranking places it above 86% of all CPUs in the database, and its average score of 37,829 is effectively tied with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 37,904 and the Intel Core i9-14901E at 37,911, both within 0.2%. The Core 5 211E also wins on platform features: DDR5 support, PCIe Gen 5, ECC memory, and a larger L3 cache of 20 MB versus 12 MB.

The Intel Core i5-110 has no recorded benchmark wins. Its specifications show a higher base clock of 2.90 GHz compared to 2.70 GHz for the Core 5 211E, which could indicate a small advantage in idle or lightly loaded single-thread scenarios, but no measured data confirms this. It also has a lower launch MSRP of $200 versus $221, and its 14 nm Comet Lake architecture uses smaller per-core L2 cache at 256 KB versus 2 MB. The Core i5-110's 50th percentile rank places it at the median of all CPUs in the database, but with an average benchmark score of 0, no workload-specific win can be attributed to it. The Core 5 211E is the processor with verified performance across Cinebench and PassMark suites, while the Core i5-110 remains a specification-only entry in the database.
