IntelCore Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265K - 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) up to 5.5 GHz

The Gaming performance is decent, the CPU is stable, and it doesn't run hot or consume a ton of power. In Gaming it beats on and beats out older 14nm Intel processors, and it can go toe to toe with Alder Lake processors. I haven't checked out the performance of the Integrated Graphics, but it is supposedly way better than what Intel had used for years with their Core i desktop processors.Where this processor really shines is with workstation type tasks. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar there isn't a better value. I ran a number of benchmarks such as a few different versions of Cinebench and the benchmark numbers this thing puts out is amazing. The Skymont based E-Cores on these Arrow Lake processors are greatly improved over the Gracemont E-Cores that were used in Raptor Lake and Alder Lake.The reason I bought this is I was forced to buy a motherboard with a 5090, and I decided to upgrade my Daughter's computer which had a Core i9-9900k. I gave her a choice between Intel and AMD Ryzen, and she picked Intel. Since I had a spare motherboard for both platforms, I decided on this processor. The Core Ultra 9 285k would have been nice, but I didn't see a reason to pay almost twice as much for four extra E-Cores and slightly higher clock frequencies.Given a choice for my own system, I probably wouldn't buy one of these unless I needed something cheap for CAD, Premiere Pro, or something that can leverage Quick-Sync. What I dislike the most is not the CPU, but the platform. Intel plans to release Arrow Lake refresh processors for this platform, then they'll ditch it for another socket with Panther/Nova Lake. At least AMD is going to squeeze out Zen 6 for socket AM5.Overall this is a good processor. In some ways it reminds me of the workstation type value the old FX-8150 and FX-8350 brought to the table, but it doesn't have all of the heat and power consumption issues that came with those processors.

Hello, I purchased the Ultra 7 265K for a micro ATX build. It went right into the LGA 1851 socket. It started right up on the first try and I installed Ubuntu Linux 24.04 on the system. It will compile C/C++ programs 3-times faster than my old system which was a i7-2600K.I'm currently experimenting with the integrated graphics, as I do not yet have a dedicated GPU. This processor is rated very high in the single-core processing benchmarks. I'm seeing how far I can push it.With just a few case fans, it idles at under 40C even with ambient temperature of about 30C.

It's worth every penny. Its in a build right now, works flawlessly, I had an older gen intel and this is much better. I would recommend this. Install was straightforward easy to do and no issues with the cpu.

Potente, eficiente y con excelente rendimiento térmico.El paquete llegó en perfectas condiciones, bien protegido y a tiempo. Hasta el momento, el procesador ha funcionado de maravilla. El Core Ultra 7 265K es rápido, eficiente y sorprendentemente fresco incluso bajo carga. Ideal para tareas exigentes como edición, programación o gaming.No he tenido ningún problema de temperatura y su rendimiento multihilo se nota. Se agradece el buen trabajo que ha hecho Intel con esta nueva generación. Muy satisfecho con la compra.

Dont care what others say about intel. Yes the9r last generation was terrible but I went intel this time because my recent builds havent been perfect either. I also wanted integrated graphics without sacrificing performance...somethong AMD isn't good at.Yes i have an RTX graphics card but integrated graphics is great for trouble shooting, someday, you'll need it and swapping a GPU in and out of an ITX is painful. And wouldn't you know it, my riser cable went bad on the initial build and needed that integrated graphics to trouble shoot.Anyhow thos processor is performing awesome. Using it mainly for workstation. Super fast and responsive. But doesn't grt bogged down and don't see all CPUs aimlessly throttling. And it's running at lower power doing most of it too. Zero issues. If you aren't trying to eek out every last game rate for gaming like all the reviews assume, then definitely consider this CPU.

wow this cpu is a beast never runs above 85C. would be buy again.

Mi último Intel, cambia demasiado el socket ya están planeando el socket 1954 y la verdad no hay mejoras que justifiquen el cambio ,mientras que mi PC amd tiene actualizaciones hasta el 2027 y para terminar venía con una promoción de 2 juegos pero nunca me enviaron el código

While the CPU itself is great, the Intel promo is a total scam - they ask you to provide personal information piece by piece, followed by requiring to run a full hardware scan software on your device.
