Intel Core Ultra 5 225F - TRAY

Product detailed description

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F – TRAY is a modern desktop processor from the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 generation, based on the Arrow Lake architecture. It combines 10 processing cores, high operating frequencies, support for fast DDR5 memory and the modern PCI Express 5.0 interface. It is suitable for gaming PCs equipped with a dedicated graphics card, everyday productivity, multitasking and more demanding applications.

The hybrid architecture with 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores enables efficient workload distribution according to processing requirements. Six Performance-cores (P-cores) provide high performance for gaming and demanding applications, while four Efficient-cores (E-cores) efficiently handle background and less demanding tasks. The processor features a total of 10 cores and 10 threads.

High operating frequencies ensure responsive system performance. The P-cores operate at a base frequency of 3.3 GHz and reach a maximum Turbo frequency of 4.9 GHz. The E-cores have a base frequency of 2.7 GHz and a maximum Turbo frequency of 4.4 GHz. Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology automatically adjusts performance according to current workload requirements.

The processor features 20 MB of shared Intel Smart Cache and a total of 22 MB of L2 cache. Fast cache memory helps reduce latency when accessing frequently used data and contributes to smooth performance in games, applications and multitasking workloads.

Dual-channel DDR5 memory support enables the use of modules with official speeds of up to 6400 MT/s and a total capacity of up to 256 GB, depending on the motherboard configuration. The modern memory controller provides high bandwidth for gaming, working with larger datasets and demanding applications.

The processor supports PCI Express 5.0 and PCI Express 4.0 with up to 24 PCIe lanes in total. This enables the use of modern graphics cards and high-speed NVMe SSDs in compatible systems.

The processor includes an integrated Intel AI Boost neural processing unit (NPU) delivering up to 13 TOPS of performance for artificial intelligence workloads. It helps accelerate supported AI features and applications, while the processor offers up to 19 TOPS of overall peak AI performance. Intel Deep Learning Boost and selected AI frameworks are also supported.

Power specifications include a processor base power of 65 W and maximum Turbo power of 121 W. The processor uses the LGA1851 socket and requires a compatible motherboard with an appropriate BIOS version. Suitable cooling is necessary for reliable operation.

The F-series variant does not include integrated graphics, so a dedicated graphics card is required for display output. The TRAY version is primarily intended for PC builders and system integrators. The processor is supplied without retail packaging or a CPU cooler.
