Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K presents itself as a very advanced processor. It is based on the latest Arrow Lake architecture, manufactured in the efficient 3 nm process. This enables high performance with good energy efficiency. This chip impresses with considerable multi-core performance. In Cinebench 2024, it achieves a remarkable 2047 points.

The single-core performance with 139 points is also very respectable. For modern systems, PCIe 5.0 support is a major advantage. This allows the fastest graphics cards and SSDs to be used optimally. The integrated Intel Xe 4 Core Graphics 64 EUs is a practical feature. It delivers clear images and handles everyday graphics tasks without any problems.

With 36 MB L2 cache and 30 MB L3 cache, the processor is well equipped. These generous caches are important for fast data processing. The maximum memory bandwidth is 102 GB/s. Here, we see a well thought-out combination of core performance and connectivity. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is a solid choice for demanding users.

It offers a future-proof base for many projects.
  • Modern Arrow Lake architecture
  • Strong multi-core performance
  • PCIe 5.0 support
  • Integrated Intel Xe graphics
