Architecture Differences

The two processors represent opposite ends of Intel's design spectrum. The Intel Core i5-110 is a desktop part built on the Comet Lake architecture, using a 14 nm process node. It offers 6 cores with 12 threads, a base clock of 2.90 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. This is a mature, straightforward design aimed at conventional desktop workloads.

The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H, by contrast, is a mobile processor built on the Panther Lake architecture and manufactured on a 3 nm process. It doubles the core count to 16 cores with 16 threads, indicating a different threading model than the i5-110. The base clock is lower at 2.00 GHz, but the boost clock reaches 5.00 GHz. Cache sizes are substantially larger: 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache.

Memory support also separates the two. The i5-110 uses DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration and 42.7 GB/s bandwidth. The Ultra X7 368H uses LPDDR5X memory, also dual-channel, but with 153.6 GB/s bandwidth, a dramatic increase. PCIe capabilities differ as well: the i5-110 provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Ultra X7 368H provides Gen 5 with 4 lanes from the CPU.

The integrated graphics differ significantly. The i5-110 uses UHD Graphics 630, while the Ultra X7 368H uses Arc B390. The Ultra X7 368H also belongs to the Core Ultra Series 3, whereas the i5-110 has no series designation. Power envelopes are different: the i5-110 has a TDP of 65 watts, while the Ultra X7 368H has a TDP of 25 watts.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data available for the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H shows strong performance across multiple tests. In Cinebench R15 multicore, it scores 2844 points, with a single-core score of 401 points. In Cinebench R20, the multicore score rises to 11852, and the single-core score reaches 1673. Cinebench R23 results show 28221 points in multicore and 3984 in single-core.

Passmark results for the Ultra X7 368H are equally detailed. Data compression scores 312927, while data encryption scores 25228. Extended instructions score 25669, and find prime numbers scores 321. Floating point math reaches 105681, and integer math reaches 88083. Multithread performance scores 32956, physics scores 2857, and random string sorting scores 38093. Single-thread performance scores 4005.

The Intel Core i5-110 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile ranking is 50. The Ultra X7 368H, by comparison, has an average benchmark score of 40518 and ranks at the 87th percentile. This places it among the higher-performing CPUs in the database.

Rival comparisons for the Ultra X7 368H provide context. The Intel Core 7 253PE scores 40557 on average, which is 0.1% higher. The Intel Core 5 223PE scores 40585, 0.2% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 40431, 0.2% lower, and the Intel Xeon 6507P scores 40426, also 0.2% lower. The Ultra X7 368H sits within a tight band around these processors, effectively matching them in aggregate performance.

Because the i5-110 lacks benchmark scores, direct head-to-head comparisons cannot be quantified. The available data indicates that the Ultra X7 368H outperforms the i5-110 in all measurable dimensions, but the absence of i5-110 scores means the margin cannot be stated precisely.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H. It delivers 16 cores versus 6, a higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz versus 4.30 GHz, significantly larger caches, and much higher memory bandwidth at 153.6 GB/s versus 42.7 GB/s. Its 87th percentile ranking places it well above the i5-110's 50th percentile.

The Ultra X7 368H also achieves this with a lower TDP of 25 watts compared to 65 watts. That efficiency advantage, combined with higher performance metrics, makes it the stronger processor in nearly every measurable way. The only area where the i5-110 leads is base clock frequency, where 2.90 GHz exceeds the Ultra X7 368H's 2.00 GHz, and in PCIe lane count, where 16 lanes exceed 4 lanes, though the Ultra X7 368H uses the newer Gen 5 standard.

The i5-110 holds a launch MSRP of $200, but the database contains no benchmark scores for it, so its practical performance cannot be assessed. The Ultra X7 368H has no listed launch MSRP.

For users selecting between these two, the Ultra X7 368H is the choice when performance and efficiency matter. The i5-110 remains a viable desktop option with a lower core count and older architecture, but the recorded data does not support it as a performance leader in any benchmark category.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H wins in all measured benchmark categories. Its Cinebench scores, Passmark scores, and aggregate average score of 40518 all reflect a processor designed for demanding workloads. The 16-core configuration, 5.00 GHz boost clock, 18 MB L3 cache, and 153.6 GB/s memory bandwidth position it for multi-threaded applications, content creation, and high-throughput tasks.

The Intel Core i5-110 has no benchmark scores in the database, so there are no recorded wins for it. Its advantages are limited to specifications: a higher base clock of 2.90 GHz, a desktop socket with 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes, and a $200 launch MSRP. These make it a straightforward desktop processor for users who need a conventional socket and do not require the mobile form factor.

The Ultra X7 368H targets mobile systems with its BGA 2540 socket and 25 watt TDP. The i5-110 targets desktop systems with Socket 1200 and 65 watt TDP. The workload split follows the platform: desktop builds with upgradeable sockets favor the i5-110, while mobile systems and high-performance portable workloads favor the Ultra X7 368H. Based strictly on the recorded data, the Ultra X7 368H is the superior processor for performance-driven use cases.
