Intel Core Ultra 7 265F – Specs and Benchmark

Intel launched the Core Ultra 7 265F processor in January 2025 at an MSRP of $379. This 20-core desktop processor is based on the Arrow Lake architecture and comes with Socket 1851. Made with a 3nm production process, this processor uses 17,800 million transistors and can go from a base clock speed of 2.4 GHz to a boost clock of 5.3 GHz.

It has 30 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory up to 6400 MT/s, which can be further expanded through overclocking. This processor does not have integrated graphics, so it needs a separate graphics card, and it connects with other components through a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection.

Due to hardware virtualization and IOMMU support, it supports virtual machines. Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) and AVX2 improves the computation speed for compute-intensive applications even though it does not have the AVX-512. Hence, this processor is suitable for high-performance tasks and other virtualization-based workloads.
