Intel Core Ultra 5 225F

► remove from comparison Intel Ultra 5 225F

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F 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.

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