<p>The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F is a mid-range desktop processor from Intel's Arrow Lake (Series 2) family with 10 cores (6 performance + 4 efficient) and 10 threads delivering balanced everyday and productivity performance. It boosts up to 4.90 GHz on its performance cores and includes 20 MB of Intel Smart Cache with 22 MB of L2 cache, helping keep tasks responsive without excess power draw. With a 65 W base and 121 W turbo power profile, it's a capable choice for mainstream PCs that pair a dedicated GPU.</p> <br /> <p>This F variant does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required. It supports DDR5-6400 memory (up to 256 GB), PCIe 5.0/4.0 lanes for modern GPUs and storage, and Intel AI Boost NPU (~13 TOPS) with Deep Learning Boost for AI-assisted workloads and enhanced software support. The FCLGA1851 platform also brings modern Intel features like Thread Director, Turbo Boost, Speed Shift, Thunderbolt 4, and advanced virtualization/security tech.</p> <br /> <b>Key Features</b> <ul> <li>10 Cores (6 Performance + 4 Efficient) / 10 Threads</li> <li>Max boost clocks up to 4.9 GHz </li> <li>20 MB Intel Smart Cache</li> <li>65W TDP</li> <li>Supports DDR5-6400</li> <li>Neural Processing Unit (NPU)</li> </ul>
