Intel Core Ultra 5 225F, LGA1851, 10 cores, 3.3–4.9 GHz, BOX with cooler

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F processor belongs to the new Arrow Lake generation designed for LGA1851 socket. It combines 10 cores in a hybrid architecture: 6 performance cores for demanding tasks and 4 efficiency cores for everyday applications. With these features, you get a powerful processor that saves energy and fits easily into any budget.

The base frequency of 3.3 GHz provides sufficient power for virtually all everyday applications, while the maximum frequency of up to 4.9 GHz automatically activates when needed. Intel's Dynamic Frequency Scaling ensures the processor always runs at the ideal frequency for the given task—without wasting energy.

The processor is designed for the brand-new LGA1851 socket, which comes with the latest 800-series motherboards (such as Z890, H890, or B850). When choosing a motherboard, be sure to verify compatibility—old LGA1700 boards won't work. The new platform brings improved memory support, faster connectivity, and better power management.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F processor has no built-in graphics accelerator (iGPU). This means you absolutely need a dedicated graphics card to operate the computer—without it, no image will appear on the monitor. If you need a processor without graphics, you're in the right place; if you want integrated graphics, look at Core Ultra 5 models with a K suffix or higher-tier variants.
