The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is an Arrow Lake-based desktop processor with 20 cores in two clusters. The 8 performance cores clock at up to 5.5 GHz and the 12 smaller efficiency cores at up to 4.6 GHz. All CPU cores can use the 30MB Smart Cache (L3).
The Arrow Lake-S chips are composed of several chiplets. The CPU part is manufactured at TSMC in the modern N3B (3nm) process, the GPU also comes from TSMC in the N5P process. The SoC and I/O tile are manufactured in the TSMC N6 process. The base tile is manufactured by Intel in the 22nm process and carries the individual chiplets thanks to Fovero's 3D packaging.
Compared to the similar Core Ultra 7 265KF, the 265K integrates a Intel Graphics called 4-core iGPU with up to 2 GHz. Furthermore, the 265K offers vPro Enterprise management and security features.
The TDP is specified at 125 watts (long-term) to 250 watts (turbo).
The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 is a desktop processor based on the Arrow Lake-S series that was introduced at the beginning of 2025. It offers 14 cores divided in 6 performance cores with up to 5 GHz and 8 efficiency cores with up to 4.4 GHz.
The CPU performance is comparable to the old Intel Core i5-13600K and therefore well suited for demanding tasks.
