Intel Core Ultra 5 225F BX80768225F desktop processor

Core Ultra 5 225F for desktop builds

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F is a 10-core desktop processor built on the Arrow Lake architecture. It uses the LGA 1851 socket and operates at a 65 W base power. This chip suits builders who will pair it with a discrete graphics card.

Check socket and memory before ordering

Your motherboard must support the LGA 1851 socket and the Core Ultra Series 2 platform. The memory controller runs dual-channel DDR5 up to 6400 MT/s with a maximum capacity of 256 GB. No integrated graphics are present, so a separate GPU is required for display output.

Sustained load behaviour at 65 W

Under continuous workloads the processor maintains its 65 W base power envelope. Performance cores run at a 3.3 GHz base frequency while efficient cores run at 2.7 GHz. Thermal output remains steady compared with short bursts that can reach higher turbo frequencies. The 22 MB L2 and 20 MB L3 caches help sustain throughput during extended tasks.
