Intel Core 7 253PTE vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a clear performance separation between these two desktop processors. The Intel Core 7 253PTE holds a decisive edge across every measured workload, while the Intel Core i5-110 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This absence of data for the i5-110 means the comparison relies entirely on the Core 7 253PTE's recorded results and the architectural specifications of both parts.

The Core 7 253PTE delivers 10 cores and 20 threads, compared to 6 cores and 12 threads for the Core i5-110. The measured Cinebench results confirm the multi-threaded advantage. The Core 7 253PTE scores 2144 in Cinebench R15 multi-core, 8935 in R20 multi-core, and 21276 in R23 multi-core. Single-core results are also strong, with scores of 302, 1261, and 3003 in R15, R20, and R23 respectively. These numbers place the Core 7 253PTE in the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database.

PassMark results further illustrate the Core 7 253PTE's performance profile. The multi-thread score is 25031, while the single-thread score is 3794. Integer math reaches 119552, floating point math reaches 67209, and extended instructions score 17099. Data compression scores 275828, while data encryption scores 15500. Random string sorting delivers 28227, and the find prime numbers test scores 82. Physics testing yields 1318.

Because the Core i5-110 has no benchmark entries, the database cannot produce a head-to-head percentage comparison. The Core 7 253PTE's nearest rivals provide context for its standing. The Intel Core i7-13800H averages 34988, which is 0.1% lower than the Core 7 253PTE's average benchmark score of 34962. The Intel Core i9-12900HX averages 35003, also 0.1% lower. The Intel Xeon 6349P averages 34890, which is 0.2% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 5 150 averages 34881, also 0.2% higher. These narrow deltas indicate the Core 7 253PTE sits in a tightly contested performance band.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 253PTE wins across all measured performance categories. Its 10-core, 20-thread configuration with a 5.40 GHz boost clock gives it a substantial multi-threaded advantage over the 6-core, 12-thread Core i5-110 with its 4.30 GHz boost clock. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21276 reflects this strength, as does the PassMark multi-thread score of 25031. The larger 33 MB L3 cache and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth support sustained workloads that benefit from high cache capacity and fast memory access.

The Core 7 253PTE also holds the single-thread advantage. Its boost clock of 5.40 GHz is 1.10 GHz higher than the Core i5-110's 4.30 GHz, and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3003 confirms strong per-thread performance. The PassMark single-thread score of 3794 reinforces this position. Applications that rely on high per-core frequency, such as lightly threaded productivity tasks, would see the Core 7 253PTE pull ahead.

The Core i5-110 has no recorded benchmark scores, so the database cannot quantify any wins for it. Its higher base clock of 2.90 GHz and lower 65 W TDP may indicate a different operating profile, but no measured performance data exists to support a performance win. The Core i5-110's DDR4-only memory support and PCIe Gen 3 connectivity place it in an older platform generation, while the Core 7 253PTE's DDR5 support and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity align it with more recent platform capabilities.

The Core 7 253PTE's 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it well above the Core i5-110's 50th percentile. The nearest rival data shows the Core 7 253PTE trading fractions of a percent with the Core i7-13800H, Core i9-12900HX, Xeon 6349P, and Ryzen 5 150. This indicates the Core 7 253PTE occupies a competitive position in the upper mid-range of desktop processors. For workloads involving data compression, encryption, and extended instruction sets, the recorded PassMark scores of 275828, 15500, and 17099 respectively demonstrate strong capability. The Core i5-110 remains a specification-only entry in the database, with no measured results to compare against these figures.
