Architecture Differences

The Core 7 350 and Core i5-110 represent different architectural generations from Intel.

The Core 7 350 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 (Wildcat Lake) generation. It is built on a 3 nm process at Intel's foundry. The Core i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture and codename, belonging to the Core i5 (Comet Lake) generation. It is built on a 14 nm process at Intel's foundry.

The core counts match at 6, but the thread counts differ: the Core 7 350 runs 6 threads, while the Core i5-110 runs 12 threads. The Core i5-110's Comet Lake architecture includes Hyper-Threading support, which the Core 7 350's Wildcat Lake design does not appear to implement based on the thread count.

Cache design differs substantially. The Core 7 350 allocates 192 KB L1 per core and 2.5 MB L2 per core, suggesting a design with larger per-core caches for single-thread efficiency. The Core i5-110 uses 64 KB L1 and 256 KB L2 per core, with a larger 12 MB shared L3. The Core 7 350's 6 MB shared L3 is half the size, but its larger L2 may compensate for latency-sensitive workloads.

Memory architecture reflects the generational gap. The Core 7 350 adopts DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a single-channel bus delivering 59.7 GB/s. The Core i5-110 uses DDR4 with a dual-channel bus delivering 42.7 GB/s. Despite single-channel operation, the Core 7 350's newer memory standard provides 17 GB/s more bandwidth.

The integrated graphics differ: the Core 7 350 features Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores, while the Core i5-110 uses UHD Graphics 630. The Xe3 architecture represents a newer graphics generation.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation and lane count. The Core 7 350 offers Gen 4 with 6 lanes. The Core i5-110 offers Gen 3 with 16 lanes. The Core i5-110 provides more lanes for desktop expansion, while the Core 7 350's Gen 4 standard offers higher per-lane bandwidth.

The 15 W TDP of the Core 7 350 versus 65 W for the Core i5-110 indicates the Wildcat Lake design prioritizes power efficiency, consistent with its mobile market segment and 3 nm process. The Comet Lake desktop part uses higher power to sustain its 2.90 GHz base clock.

The production status for both processors is listed as Active. Neither supports ECC memory.
