Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core Ultra 5 325 clearly shows us where the journey for modern processors is headed. With the new Panther Lake architecture, Intel focuses on a particularly efficient design. Manufacturing in the modern 2 nm process ensures low heat generation during operation. We find it interesting how smoothly everyday applications can now run on this compact chip.

With its 10 MB L2 cache, the processor offers a solid basis for quick calculations in between. Additionally, the 12 MB L3 cache supports efficiency when processing larger amounts of data. We were particularly impressed by the integrated Intel Xe 2 Core Graphics 16 EUs (Panther Lake). The Intel Core Ultra 5 325 thus handles graphical tasks without an additional, power-hungry graphics card.

A maximum memory bandwidth of 120 GB/s also guarantees rapid data exchange with the fast RAM. This combination makes the model a good choice for slim notebooks with long battery life. The overall performance of the chip remains stable and pleasantly predictable even under prolonged load. We often notice that the balance between energy consumption and computing power is really well achieved here.

Anyone looking for a reliable system for the office gets quality with the Intel Core Ultra 5 325. It is not a high-end monster, but for most people, this solid hardware is perfectly sufficient. The interaction of the components seems overall very harmonious and perfectly matched to modern everyday life.

We especially value the reliability that this small component finally brings to mobile devices.
  • Efficient Panther Lake architecture
  • Modern manufacturing in 2 nm process
  • Integrated Intel Xe 2 graphics for smooth display
  • High memory bandwidth for fast data transfer
