The Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is a desktop processor from Intel based on the Arrow Lake architecture. It features 18 cores, divided into 6 performance cores and 12 efficiency cores. The performance cores reach boost clock speeds of up to 5.3 GHz, while the efficiency cores run at a maximum of 4.6 GHz and are optimized for parallel workloads and energy-efficient background tasks.
The CPU is positioned below the higher-end models in the upper mainstream segment and offers a balanced ratio of performance to power consumption. The Arrow Lake-S processors use a chiplet design: The CPU tile is manufactured by TSMC using a 3 nm process, while the GPU, SoC and I/O components are produced using other manufacturing processes. The individual components are connected using Intel's Foveros 3D packaging technology.
The power consumption of the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus matches that of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K and is specified at 125 watts during sustained operation and up to 159 watts in turbo mode.
