About Intel Core i3-10110Y
The Intel Core i3-10110Y is a 2-core, 4-thread mobile processor from Intel’s Core 10th Gen series, built on the Comet Lake architecture under the Comet Lake-Y codename. It runs at a 1000.00 MHz base clock and a 4.00 GHz boost clock, carries a 9W TDP, supports DDR3 memory, and pairs with UHD Graphics. The benchmark database gives it an average score of 955, placing it at the 25th percentile of all CPUs and putting it in a statistical tie with every one of its nearest rivals.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
Benchmark results show a clear divide between single-thread and multi-thread performance. In Cinebench R20, the processor scores 164 in single-core and 1165 in multi-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 391 in single-core and 2774 in multi-core. The older Cinebench R15 multi-core run returns 279. The single-core scores are modest, while the multi-core scores are substantially higher, which is expected for a part with two physical cores and four threads.
The 2-core/4-thread layout means the operating system sees four logical processors, but all parallel work is restricted to two physical execution cores. That makes the multi-core uplift more limited than on a quad-core or higher part. Real workloads that are lightly threaded — such as foreground application response, office-style document work, and web browsing — rely heavily on the 4.00 GHz boost clock and the per-core strength reflected in the single-core scores. Workloads that can spread across all four threads will benefit from the multi-core results, but the absolute multi-core numbers remain modest because the hardware base is two cores.
The 1000.00 MHz base clock is low, and the 4.00 GHz boost clock is high for a 9W part. This wide clock dynamic range suggests the processor can briefly accelerate for single-thread tasks, but sustained parallel throughput is constrained by the dual-core design and the low power envelope. For mixed use, the data indicates a part that feels responsive in one-to-two-thread situations while being clearly outclassed by higher-core-count processors in threaded rendering or encoding workloads.
Power and Thermals
The i3-10110Y carries a 9W TDP, placing it in an extremely low-power class. The process node is Intel’s 14nm, and Intel is the foundry. This combination is aimed at thermally constrained systems rather than high-performance desktops: the market segment is listed as Mobile, and the socket is Intel BGA 1440.
A 9W TDP implies a relatively low heat load, so the cooling tier does not need to be aggressive. A basic low-profile solution engineered for this power class should be sufficient; the data gives no indication of high cooling demands. The low TDP also makes the processor suitable for thin-and-light notebooks where power draw and heat rejection are tightly controlled.
Production status is Active, so the part is still available in the current product landscape. The multiplier is not unlocked, which means end-user overclocking is not supported. For system designers the relevant constraint is not thermals but the integrated nature of the BGA package: cooling is tied to the laptop chassis or board design, and the processor cannot be treated as a socketed desktop CPU.
Benchmark Performance
The i3-10110Y averages 955 across the database benchmark set, which places it at the 25th percentile of all CPUs. That position is low overall, but within the immediate comparison group it is essentially a dead heat with all four nearest rivals.
The Intel Xeon W3570 also averages 955, with a 0% deltaPct. The Intel Pentium Silver J5040 averages 955 as well, also at 0% deltaPct. The Intel Core i5-2405S averages 954, which puts the i3-10110Y 0.1% ahead. The AMD Athlon X4 870K averages 956, which puts the i3-10110Y 0.1% behind. The entire nearest-rival cluster is extremely tight, with average scores spanning only from 954 to 956.
In Cinebench, the strongest multi-core result is 2774 in R23. The R20 multi-core run scores 1165, and the R15 multi-core run scores 279. Single-core performance is 391 in R23 and 164 in R20. These numbers are internally consistent with a dual-core, four-thread part running at a 4.00 GHz boost clock. The aggregate score of 955 may look unremarkable on a modern desktop scale, but the nearest-rival data shows that the processor lands squarely in its expected competitive class.
Who Should Consider It
The workload evidence points toward light productivity and general mobile use. The single-core Cinebench R23 score of 391 and R20 score of 164 indicate enough per-core performance for tasks that run in one or two threads, such as everyday office work and web-facing applications. The 9W TDP reinforces that positioning: this is a power-efficient mobile processor, not a desktop workhorse.
Users who regularly run parallel workloads should be cautious. The multi-core scores of 2774 in R23, 1165 in R20, and 279 in R15 are modest by absolute standards. High-end video creation, complex 3D rendering, and similar sustained multi-thread tasks require more cores and higher multi-core throughput than the data shows here.
For gaming, the only graphics information in the dataset is UHD Graphics. No game-specific benchmarks are present, so the data cannot substantiate any gaming performance claim. The processor’s role is better defined as a mobile productivity part: enough single-thread performance for responsive daily tasks, a low-power design for battery-oriented systems, and integrated graphics for basic display output.
How It Compares
Against the Intel Xeon W3570, the i3-10110Y posts the same 955 average score and a 0% deltaPct. There is no aggregate performance difference between the two in this database, despite their different market positioning.
Against the Intel Pentium Silver J5040, the result is the same: both average 955, with a 0% deltaPct. The i3-10110Y is exactly tied with the Pentium Silver part in aggregate benchmark performance.
Against the Intel Core i5-2405S, the i3-10110Y is 0.1% ahead, with a 955 average versus 954. That edge is tiny and effectively within noise, but the data does place the i3-10110Y on the higher side of the comparison.
Against the AMD Athlon X4 870K, the i3-10110Y is 0.1% behind, with 955 versus 956. Again the gap is negligible. The nearest-rival group as a whole is a tightly packed set of near-identical aggregate performers.
Platform and Compatibility
The platform is built around Intel BGA 1440, a mobile surface-mounted socket. The architecture is Comet Lake, the codename is Comet Lake-Y, and the generation is listed as Core i3 (Comet Lake-Y). The process node is 14nm, with Intel as the foundry.
Memory support is limited to DDR3, and ECC memory is not supported. Cache is organized as 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3. The processor includes UHD Graphics as its integrated graphics solution. The base clock is 1000.00 MHz, the boost clock is 4.00 GHz, and the multiplier is locked.
The release date is 2019-08-20, and production status is Active. The market segment is Mobile. Because the package is BGA 1440, the processor is not a socketed desktop chip; the upgrade path is tied to the motherboard and the system builder rather than to a user-serviceable CPU socket. PCIe specifications are not listed in the available data, so specific PCIe compatibility cannot be confirmed from this dataset.
