Intel Core i5-110 vs Intel Core i9-14901E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i5-110 and Intel Core i9-14901E occupy very different positions in the database. The i5-110 is a 6-core, 12-thread Comet Lake part with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The i9-14901E is an 8-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake-R part with a base clock of 2.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. The recorded benchmark data shows a decisive advantage for the i9-14901E across every measured workload, though the magnitude of that advantage varies by test type.

The most substantial gap appears in multi-threaded rendering workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the i9-14901E scores 25753, while the i5-110 has no recorded benchmark score in the database. Since the i5-110 lacks any benchmark entries, the comparison is one-sided: every available score belongs to the i9-14901E. The database records the i9-14901E at the 86th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37911. The i5-110 sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, reflecting the absence of measured results.

The i9-14901E delivers strong multi-core results across the Cinebench suite. In Cinebench R20 multi-core, it scores 10816, and in Cinebench R15 multi-core, it scores 2595. Single-core results follow a similar pattern: Cinebench R23 single-core shows 3635, Cinebench R20 single-core shows 1526, and Cinebench R15 single-core shows 366. These scores indicate a processor that scales well with both thread count and clock speed, consistent with its 8-core, 16-thread configuration and 5.60 GHz boost capability.

PassMark results for the i9-14901E cover a broad range of workloads. Integer math scores 112736, floating point math scores 81089, and extended instructions score 17249. Data compression reaches 288777, while data encryption posts 18571. The multithread score is 30298, and the single-thread score is 4354. Physics testing yields 3041, random string sorting produces 39138, and prime number finding comes in at 189.

Since the i5-110 has no recorded benchmarks, there are no direct head-to-head deltas to report. The database lists zero wins for the i5-110 and zero wins for the i9-14901E in the head-to-head comparison field, which reflects the absence of paired test data rather than a tie. The nearest rivals for the i9-14901E provide context for its position: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores 37904 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X scores 37943 with a delta of -0.1%, the Intel Core 5 211E scores 37829 with a delta of 0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 37804 with a delta of 0.3%. These deltas place the i9-14901E within a narrow band of comparable processors, all within roughly a third of a percent of each other.

The Verdict

The data in the database is unambiguous: the Intel Core i9-14901E is the stronger processor by every recorded measure. Its 8 cores and 16 threads exceed the i5-110's 6 cores and 12 threads. Its 5.60 GHz boost clock exceeds the i5-110's 4.30 GHz boost clock. Its 36 MB of shared L3 cache dwarfs the i5-110's 12 MB. Its 10 nm process node is more advanced than the i5-110's 14 nm node. Its PCIe Gen 5 interface with 16 lanes surpasses the i5-110's PCIe Gen 3 interface with 16 lanes.

The i9-14901E also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the i5-110 supports DDR4 only. The i9-14901E includes ECC memory support; the i5-110 does not. The i9-14901E uses the UHD Graphics 770 integrated GPU, while the i5-110 uses the UHD Graphics 630. The i9-14901E has a die size of 257 mm², a detail not recorded for the i5-110.

The i5-110 does have a higher base clock than the i9-14901E: 2.90 GHz versus 2.80 GHz. This is the only clock-speed advantage the i5-110 holds, and it is a modest one. The i9-14901E's boost clock advantage of 1.30 GHz more than compensates in any workload that can utilize boost frequencies. The i5-110 also has a recorded launch MSRP of $200, but the i9-14901E has no launch MSRP in the database, so no price comparison can be made.

For users selecting between these two parts, the i9-14901E delivers a higher percentile ranking (86th versus 50th), a higher average benchmark score (37911 versus 0), and a more modern feature set. The i5-110's 50th percentile ranking places it at the median of all CPUs in the database, which is not a weak position, but it is far below the i9-14901E's 86th percentile.

Where Each One Wins

The i9-14901E wins across every benchmark category for which data exists. Multi-threaded workloads show particularly strong results: Cinebench R23 multi-core at 25753, Cinebench R20 multi-core at 10816, and Cinebench R15 multi-core at 2595. These scores indicate a processor well suited to rendering, compilation, and other parallel tasks. The PassMark multithread score of 30298 reinforces this picture. The high data compression score of 288777 suggests strong performance in archiving and storage-related workloads. The integer math score of 112736 and floating point math score of 81089 indicate solid performance in general computation and scientific workloads.

Single-threaded performance for the i9-14901E is also strong, with a PassMark single-thread score of 4354 and Cinebench R23 single-core at 3635. The 5.60 GHz boost clock likely contributes to these results. Applications that depend on single-core speed, such as many legacy workloads or lightly threaded applications, would benefit from this part.

The i5-110 has no recorded benchmark wins because the database contains no benchmark scores for it. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration and 4.30 GHz boost clock suggest it is a capable desktop processor, but the absence of measured data prevents any quantitative assessment. The i5-110's 12 MB shared L3 cache is smaller than the i9-14901E's 36 MB, and its DDR4-only memory support limits memory bandwidth to 42.7 GB/s, a figure not recorded for the i9-14901E. The i5-110's PCIe Gen 3 interface is two generations behind the i9-14901E's PCIe Gen 5 interface.
