INTEL Core Ultra 5 225F 5th Generation Processor

INTEL Core Ultra 5 225F 5th Generation Processor

Consider this CPU if you’re building a mid‑range desktop system and want:

• A hybrid core architecture for responsive multitasking and performance per watt

• Native AI acceleration for tasks like streaming, video calls, or AI‑powered features

• Modern connectivity (PCIe 5.0, DDR5 6400) at a competitive price

• You’re okay with using a dedicated GPU (no integrated graphics)

In Geekbench 6 benchmarks, the Core Ultra 5 225F scored approximately 2,653 (single-core) and 13,028 (multi-core), delivering performance rivaling Intel’s Core i5‑13600FEat Your Bytes. While it slightly lags behind higher-tier Arrow Lake chips in raw performance, it balances modern architecture, energy efficiency, and integrated AI capabilities at an affordable entry‑level price point

Includes an integrated NPU (Intel AI Boost) with up to 13 TOPS (INT8), supporting multiple AI frameworks like OpenVINO™, WindowsML, DirectML, ONNX‑RT, and WebNN

Equipped with Intel Deep Learning Boost, Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.5 (GNA), and Intel Thread Director for optimized AI and threading performance
