In the Geekbench database the new Intel Core Ultra 5 225F processor was lit up. index K, he has a lower TDP and limited overclocking capabilities.
According to the benchmark, Core The Ultra 5 225F includes 10 cores, including six high-performance Lion Cove and four energy-efficient Skymont. The maximum CPU clock speed is 4.9 Ghz. Judging by the specifications, the processor will be the successor to the Core i5-14400.
Speaking of performance, in single- and multi-threaded tests, the processor scored 2653 points and 13,028 points respectively. These results are 10.8% and 16.7% higher than the Core i5-14400 in the same tests, respectively. 14-core i5-13600 is ahead of the new processor by 5% in both trials.
Recent Geekbench results have surfaced for Intel’s unreleased Core Ultra 5 225F processor without an integrated GPU, showcasing interesting performance improvements over its predecessors. The benchmark results, initially shared by Benchleaks on X, reveal that this new 10-core chip delivers performance comparable to the higher-core-count Core i5-13600.
The Core Ultra 5 225F achieved a single-core score of 2,653 points and a multi-core score of 13,028 points. The processor combines six P-cores, four E-cores, and 20 MB of L3 cache. During testing, the chip reached a maximum frequency of 4.887 GHz. When compared to its direct predecessor, the Core i5-14400F, the new 225F demonstrates significant improvements with approximately 13% better performance in both single and multi-core tests.
More impressively, it manages to edge out the 14-core Core i5-13600 by 5% across both metrics despite having fewer cores and threads. However, the 225F falls behind its premium sibling with four more E-cores, the Core Ultra 5 245K, which outperforms it by 16% in single-core and 44% in multi-core operations.
The Core Ultra 5 225F is expected to be part of Intel’s new 65 W TDP lineup, targeting mainstream desktop systems with limited overclocking capabilities. This positions it as a more energy-efficient alternative to the current 125 W TDP Core Ultra 200 series processors. While we wait for more firmware updates to boost Arrow Lake performance, Intel could target the launch of the F-series SKUs for CES 2025, which is just a few weeks away now.
