Intel Core i3-10110Y vs Intel Core i3-4350T Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark split between the Intel Core i3-4350T and the Intel Core i3-10110Y is remarkably one-sided. The database records five head-to-head comparisons, and the i3-4350T wins all five. That does not mean the i3-10110Y is without merit, but its strengths lie outside the measured Cinebench tests.

The i3-4350T takes every multi-core and single-core test in the head-to-head set. Its wins are narrow, ranging from 1.9% to 2.3%, but they are consistent across all workload types. This suggests a fundamental edge in sustained compute, not a quirk of one benchmark. The i3-4350T is a desktop part with a 35 W thermal design power, while the i3-10110Y is a mobile part with a 9 W TDP. The desktop chip can draw more power for longer, which likely explains its uniform lead.

The i3-10110Y, however, has a different story outside pure rendering. Its base clock is listed as 1000.00 MHz with a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. That wide boost range indicates a design built for bursty, short-duration workloads where it can briefly turbo to high frequencies. The i3-4350T has no boost clock listed at all, only a fixed 3.10 GHz. For tasks that favor quick single-thread bursts, the i3-10110Y may feel snappier in real-world use, even though the Cinebench single-core scores favor the older chip.

The market segments differ entirely. The i3-4350T targets desktops with an Intel Socket 1150, while the i3-10110Y is a mobile chip soldered to Intel BGA 1440. The i3-10110Y is still in active production, whereas the i3-4350T is end-of-life. For system builders looking at new hardware, the i3-10110Y represents current availability; for those maintaining legacy desktop platforms, the i3-4350T is the relevant choice.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share a common foundation: 2 cores, 4 threads, 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3 cache. The memory support is identical on paper: DDR3, dual-channel for the i3-4350T (the i3-10110Y lists no memory bus specification). Neither supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The first major divergence is the process node. The i3-4350T uses Intel's 22 nm Haswell architecture, while the i3-10110Y uses the 14 nm Comet Lake-Y architecture. The newer process allows the i3-10110Y to achieve a far lower TDP of 9 W versus 35 W. That is a 26 W difference, which is enormous for thermal design. The i3-10110Y's 14 nm process also enables the 4.00 GHz boost clock, a feature absent from the older Haswell part.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The i3-4350T ships with Intel HD 4600, while the i3-10110Y includes UHD Graphics. The database does not provide benchmark scores for these iGPUs, so no direct comparison is possible. The i3-4350T also lists a PCIe configuration of Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU; the i3-10110Y has no PCIe specification recorded.

The die size and transistor count are only known for the i3-4350T: 1,400 million transistors on a 177 mm² die. The i3-10110Y's figures are not in the database. The i3-4350T was released in May 2014 with a launch MSRP of $138. The i3-10110Y arrived in August 2019 with no recorded launch price.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench R15 multi-core test opens the comparison. The i3-4350T scores 271, the i3-10110Y scores 265. The delta is 2.3% in favor of the older chip. In Cinebench R20 multi-core, the gap narrows slightly: 1130 versus 1108, a 2% edge. The R20 single-core test shows 159 against 156, a 1.9% lead.

Moving to Cinebench R23, the multi-core result is 2692 for the i3-4350T and 2640 for the i3-10110Y, again a 2% difference. The R23 single-core test gives 380 versus 372, a 2.2% margin. Across all five tests, the i3-4350T's smallest win is 1.9%, its largest is 2.3%. The pattern is clear: these are not statistical noise but a consistent, if modest, performance advantage.

What is notable is the absolute scores. The R23 multi-core figures of 2692 and 2640 are low by modern desktop standards, but they represent two low-power dual-core parts. The i3-10110Y's 4.00 GHz boost clock does not translate into a single-core win; the i3-4350T's fixed 3.10 GHz still beats it by 2.2% in R23 single-core. This suggests the i3-10110Y's high boost is either short-lived or thermally limited in sustained workloads.

The average benchmark scores reinforce this. The i3-4350T averages 926 across its recorded benchmarks, while the i3-10110Y averages 908. In the database's percentile rankings, the i3-4350T sits at the 25th percentile of all CPUs, the i3-10110Y at the 24th. Both are within a hair of each other in overall standing.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the Intel Core i3-4350T is the faster processor in every measured Cinebench test. The lead is small but universal. For anyone who needs maximum multi-threaded rendering performance from a dual-core chip, the i3-4350T is the choice. Its 35 W TDP allows it to sustain full clocks, and its desktop socket means it can be paired with a capable air cooler without thermal constraints.

The i3-10110Y, however, has its own clear role. It is a 9 W mobile part, active in production, designed for ultra-thin laptops where power draw and heat matter more than raw Cinebench scores. Its 4.00 GHz boost clock offers burst performance for everyday tasks, even if it cannot hold that frequency under heavy load. The database shows no head-to-head wins for the i3-10110Y, but its value lies in mobility and efficiency, not in winning rendering benchmarks.

For a user building a legacy desktop on Socket 1150, the i3-4350T is the superior pick. For someone seeking a current mobile processor with low power consumption, the i3-10110Y is the only viable option of the two. The data does not suggest the i3-10110Y is a bad chip; it simply loses to a desktop part with more thermal headroom.

Both chips share 2 cores, 4 threads, the same L1/L2/L3 cache sizes, DDR3 memory support, no ECC, and locked multipliers. The i3-4350T's 22 nm process is older than the i3-10110Y's 14 nm node, yet it still delivers higher benchmark scores across the board. The i3-10110Y compensates with a dramatically lower TDP and a boost clock that reaches 4.00 GHz, making it a more efficient, mobile-oriented design.
