Intel Core Ultra 5 225F Arrow Lake Desktop Processor

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F delivers next-generation computing performance with its Arrow Lake architecture, featuring 10 cores (6 P-cores + 4 E-cores) and 14 threads. This LGA 1851 processor reaches boost speeds up to 4.9GHz while maintaining a 65W base power profile, making it efficient for gaming and productivity workloads.

Hybrid Core Architecture

The 225F combines 6 Performance cores running at 3.3GHz base (4.9GHz boost) with 4 Efficient cores at 2.7GHz base (4.4GHz boost). This hybrid design optimizes workload distribution, directing demanding tasks to P-cores while E-cores handle background processes and multi-threaded applications.

AI-Ready NPU Integration

Built-in Neural Processing Unit delivers 36 TOPS of AI performance, offloading tasks like background removal, audio optimization, and auto-framing from your CPU and GPU. This dedicated AI engine enables smoother streaming and content creation workflows.

Advanced Memory and Connectivity

Supports DDR5-6400 memory with dual-channel configuration and 89.6GB/s bandwidth, accommodating up to 192GB capacity. Native Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4.0 support simplifies peripheral connectivity, while WiFi 7 readiness ensures future-proof wireless performance. Expanded PCIe 5.0 lanes provide bandwidth for high-speed storage and graphics cards.

Thermal Efficiency

With 65W processor base power and 121W maximum turbo power, the 225F balances performance with thermal management. The 20MB Intel Smart Cache and 22MB L2 cache reduce memory latency for responsive application performance.

F-Series Configuration

This F-series processor requires a discrete graphics card as it does not include integrated graphics. Ideal for dedicated gaming builds and workstations with separate GPU solutions.
