(New) Intel Core Ultra 5 225F Desktop Processor – 10-Core (6P+4E) Arrow Lake, LGA 1851, 65W TDP

Description

Next-Generation Performance. Efficient Gaming Power.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F is the gateway to the next era of desktop computing. Built on the brand-new Arrow Lake (Series 2) architecture, this processor features an advanced 10-Core Hybrid design ($6\text{P-cores}+4\text{E-cores}$) to deliver a new level of performance and efficiency for modern gaming and demanding applications.

The ‘F’ suffix indicates this processor requires a dedicated graphics card but offers a lower entry price for a high-performance CPU.

 

Key Features & Performance Highlights:

 

• Next-Gen Arrow Lake Architecture: Utilizes the new Arrow Lake architecture with enhanced Lion Cove P-Cores and Skymont E-Cores for significant generational improvements in both single-core and multi-threaded workloads.
• 10-Core Hybrid Design: Features 6 Performance-cores (P-cores) with a base frequency of 3.3 GHz and a Max Turbo Frequency of up to 4.9 GHz, and 4 Efficient-cores (E-cores), managed by the Intel Thread Director for optimized task routing.
• New LGA 1851 Socket: This processor utilizes the new LGA 1851 socket, requiring a compatible Intel 800 Series Chipset motherboard (e.g., Z890, B860). This new platform brings support for the latest connectivity standards.
• PCIe 5.0 & DDR5 Support: Fully supports PCI Express 5.0 for the fastest dedicated graphics cards and storage devices, alongside native support for high-speed DDR5 memory (up to 6400 MT/s) for maximum bandwidth.
• Dedicated Graphics Required (‘F’ SKU): The absence of integrated graphics means this processor is designed for systems that will pair it with a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon graphics card.
• Efficient 65W Base Power: With a 65W Processor Base Power (PBP), this CPU delivers high-performance while maintaining efficient thermals, making it manageable with capable stock or mid-range aftermarket coolers.

Step into the next generation of performance with the Intel Core Ultra 5 225F—the dedicated gaming core for your new LGA 1851 build.
