Where Each One Wins
The benchmark data is one-sided. The Intel Core i5-14490F holds every recorded benchmark score in the database, and the Intel Core i5-110 has no benchmark entries at all. This makes the comparison straightforward in terms of recorded performance.
For single-threaded tasks, the i5-14490F shows a strong advantage. Its Cinebench R23 single-core score is 3247, while the i5-110 has no recorded score. The PassMark single-thread score for the i5-14490F is 3873. The higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz compared to 4.30 GHz supports this result, as single-threaded workloads rely heavily on maximum frequency.
For multi-threaded workloads, the i5-14490F again dominates. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 23000. The i5-110 has no recorded multi-core score. The combination of 10 cores and 16 threads, along with the larger 24 MB L3 cache, positions the i5-14490F as the clear choice for parallel processing in the recorded data.
The i5-14490F also wins in specialized PassMark tests. It scores 340026 in data compression, 18225 in data encryption, 21731 in extended instructions, 122 in find prime numbers, 66558 in floating point math, 87844 in integer math, 28662 in multithread, 2093 in physics, and 35608 in random string sorting. The i5-110 has no scores for any of these tests.
The only area where the i5-110 has a recorded advantage is in the specification table, not in performance benchmarks. The i5-110 includes UHD Graphics 630, which means a system built around it does not require a separate graphics card for basic display output. The i5-14490F has no integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is mandatory. This is a functional difference, not a performance score.
Architecture Differences
The two processors come from different architectural generations. The Intel Core i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture, with the codename Comet Lake. The Intel Core i5-14490F uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R codename, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series.
The manufacturing process differs. The i5-110 is fabricated on a 14 nm node at Intel's foundry. The i5-14490F is fabricated on a 10 nm node, also at Intel's foundry.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pair. However, the i5-14490F has a full set of individual benchmark scores, while the i5-110 has none. The comparison therefore relies on the i5-14490F's recorded scores and the absence of any recorded scores for the i5-110.
In Cinebench R15, the i5-14490F scores 2318 in multi-core and 327 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 9660 in multi-core and 1363 in single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 23000 in multi-core and 3247 in single-core. The multi-core scores scale up consistently across the Cinebench versions, reflecting the 10-core, 16-thread configuration.
In PassMark tests, the i5-14490F shows its strengths. The multithread score is 28662, and the single-thread score is 3873. The integer math score is 87844, and the floating point math score is 66558. The data compression score is 340026, which is the highest PassMark score recorded for this chip. The data encryption score is 18225, and the extended instructions score is 21731. The find prime numbers score is 122, the physics score is 2093, and the random string sorting score is 35608.
The average benchmark score for the i5-14490F is 38149. Its percentile ranking among all CPUs is 86. The nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T with an average score of 38194 and a delta of -0.1 percent, the Intel Core i5-13600KF with an average score of 38103 and a delta of 0.1 percent, the AMD Ryzen 7 250 with an average score of 38221 and a delta of -0.2 percent, and the Intel Core i5-13600HX with an average score of 38261 and a delta of -0.3 percent. These deltas are all within 0.3 percent, indicating that the i5-14490F sits in a tightly contested performance band.
The i5-110 has an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile ranking of 50. It has no nearest rivals listed and no benchmark scores in the database.
The Verdict
The recorded data points clearly to the Intel Core i5-14490F as the higher-performing processor. It holds every benchmark score in the database, with a 23000 multi-core Cinebench R23 score and a 3247 single-core score. Its 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it well above the 50th percentile of the i5-110.
The i5-110, with no benchmark scores, cannot be positioned as a performance competitor in this comparison. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration, 4.30 GHz boost clock, and 12 MB L3 cache are all lower than the corresponding figures for the i5-14490F. The only recorded advantage is the presence of UHD Graphics 630, which allows for display output without a discrete GPU.
Buyers who need a processor with integrated graphics and a lower platform cost may consider the i5-110, as it supports DDR4 memory and PCIe Gen 3. Buyers who need maximum multi-threaded performance, higher single-thread speed, and modern platform features such as PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 support should choose the i5-14490F.
The i5-14490F also requires a discrete graphics card, as it has no integrated graphics. This is a necessary consideration for system assembly, but the benchmark data confirms that the i5-14490F delivers substantially higher performance across all recorded tests. The i5-110 remains a functional desktop part, but the database contains no performance evidence to match the i5-14490F's results.
