Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Core i3-1110G4 specifications and capabilities.

Processing Power

The Core i3-1110G4 is a 2-core / 4-thread processor based on the Tiger Lake-UP4 (2020−2021) architecture, manufactured on a 10 nm SuperFin process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 3.9 GHz from a base frequency of 1.8 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 6 MB (total) of L3 cache, plus 1.25 MB (per core) of L2 cache and 96K (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 4,160, placing it in the Entry Level performance tier as a Aging generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 1,491.
