The new Core i5 110 is identical to its predecessor in terms of specifications, including a 6-core/12-thread configuration based on the 14nm process node. Its details page lists it as having 12MB cache and running at up to 4.30 GHz, with a price tag of $200. However, it’s not clear if this CPU will be widely available in retail stores given that the LGA 1200 platform has already been discontinued.
Comparing the specs of both processors reveals no differences, indicating that the Core i5 110 is simply a relabeled version of an older product. As such, it doesn’t offer any new features or performance improvements over its predecessor.
Intel launched this processor in the third quarter of 2025 but hasn’t listed it for sale yet. Given the lack of compatibility with modern motherboards and the questionable value proposition at $200, it’s unlikely that many consumers would find purchasing the Core i5 110 worthwhile.
The question remains: why is Intel reviving such an old platform after five years? This move seems counterintuitive given current market trends toward newer architectures.
