Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF vs Intel Core Ultra 5 225

Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF 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 265K, the 265KF does not integrates a Intel Graphics called 4-core iGPU and also lacks vPro features.

The TDP is specified at 125 watts (long-term) to 250 watts (turbo).

Intel Core Ultra 5 225

► remove from comparison

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 is a relatively power efficient desktop processor of the Arrow Lake generation. It integrates 10 cores in two clusters. The 6 performance cores (Lion Cove P-Cores) clock from 3.3 to 4.9 GHz and the 4 efficiency cores (Skymont E-Cores) clock from 2.7 to 4.4 GHz. The CPU has access to 20 MB Smart Cache and 22 MB L2 Cache.

Detailed benchmarks and measured values can be found in our detailed test report on the Core Ultra 5 225F (same CPU without the integrated GPU).

As an iGPU, the Ultra 5 225 integrates an Intel Graphics 2-Core graphics card clocked from 300 - 1800 MHz.

The F series is specified with a TDP of 65 watts and is therefore also suitable for smaller desktop PCs with air cooling.
