The 225F is the least expensive entry to it — six Performance-cores at up to 4.9GHz plus four efficiency cores, DDR5-6400 support, and Intel's AI Boost NPU rated at 13 TOPS for on-device AI features in Windows and creative applications. For a fresh mid-range Intel build, this is the sensible foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo things that surprise people\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst: ten cores but only ten threads. Intel dropped Hyper-Threading on Core Ultra, so each core runs one thread — the design bets on more real cores instead. In practice gaming is unaffected and heavily threaded work is competitive, but the thread count on the box is lower than an older i5's. Second: \"F\" means no integrated graphics whatsoever, so a discrete card is required. If you want display output on board, the 225 is the same chip with graphics enabled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntry to Intel's current LGA1851 platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 P-cores + 4 E-cores at up to 4.9GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel AI Boost NPU — 13 TOPS for on-device AI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDDR5 up to 6400 MT\/s, max 256GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCIe 5.0 and 4.0, up to 24 lanes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Intel Core Ultra 5 225F (BX80768225F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Cores: 10 (6 Performance-cores + 4 Efficient-cores)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreads: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP-core Base Frequency: 3.3 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Turbo Frequency: 4.9 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCache: 20 MB Intel Smart Cache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessor Base Power: 65 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Turbo Power: 121 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: FCLGA1851\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: DDR5 up to 6400 MT\/s, 2 channels, max 256 GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Graphics: None — discrete graphics card required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPU: Intel AI Boost, 13 TOPS (Int8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCI Express: PCIe 5.0 and 4.0, up to 24 lanes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel Core Ultra 5 225F processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel cooler (as supplied in the retail box)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Intel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying onto the current socket rather than the previous one is what keeps a build upgradeable.
