Notes

The Core Ultra 7 265KF offers 20 cores (8 P-cores, 12 E-cores) with unlocked multiplier minus integrated graphics on Arrow Lake architecture. This processor provides identical performance to the 265K at reduced cost for users with discrete GPUs. Built on tile-based design with DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support, delivering improved efficiency. Perfect for gaming and productivity builds using dedicated graphics cards, offering overclocking potential with latest Intel architecture. The lack of integrated graphics reduces cost while maintaining full performance capabilities for enthusiast systems prioritizing value.
