The Core i5 110 might sound like a modern-ish CPU, perhaps from the Meteor Lake generation of hardware, but it's actually based on the Comet Lake architecture from Intel's 10th-generation CPUs—the ones released close to five years ago. Now, that ancient platform is making a bizarre comeback in 2025 with the "new" Core i5 110. With six cores, 12 threads, and a boost clock of 4.3 GHz, this is an entry-level CPU that is unlikely to be competitive with anything contemporary. While the latter isn't an amazing CPU in its own right, with 10 cores and a near 5 GHz boost clock, it'll be far faster than anything the Core i5 110 can do. Unless you're on an older 9th-generation CPU (and a low-end one, at that), the Core i5 110 is unlikely to offer much of an improvement.
