Full description and specifications

Twenty cores at a 65W base — the same 5.3GHz ceiling as the K, on a third of the power budget.

Quick Specs

  • 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) / 20 threads
  • 2.4GHz P-core base, up to 5.3GHz turbo
  • 30MB Intel Smart Cache
  • 65W base power, 182W max turbo
  • Intel Graphics, 4 Xe-cores up to 1.95GHz; 13 TOPS NPU

The efficient twenty-core

Same core layout as the 265K — eight Performance-cores, twelve efficiency cores — and a 5.3GHz turbo just 200MHz shy of it, but starting from a 65W base rather than 125W. For a machine that runs long encodes, renders or builds, that lower floor means less heat in the room and a quieter build, without giving up much peak speed. Xe graphics keep display output available and the AI Boost NPU is unchanged.

What the low base costs you

2.4GHz base is genuinely low, so under an all-core sustained load this chip settles lower than the 265K and finishes heavy jobs a little slower. It's also locked — no overclocking. For a workstation that values quiet and efficiency, that's a fair trade; for a gaming build chasing maximum frames, the 265K's higher clocks are the better buy. A good tower air cooler handles the 182W ceiling; no cooler is included.

FEATURES:

  • 8 P-cores + 12 E-cores with a 5.3GHz turbo
  • 65W base power — quiet and efficient under mixed load
  • 30MB Smart Cache; Xe graphics with 4 cores
  • Intel AI Boost NPU — 13 TOPS
  • DDR5 up to 6400 MT/s, max 256GB

Questions

Before you buy

Which motherboards will this CPU fit?
It uses the LGA1851 socket, so it needs a motherboard with a matching socket. Sockets are not cross-compatible - a chip will not physically fit a board built for a different one. Every motherboard we list shows its socket on the Specifications tab, and it is worth checking the board maker’s support list for a BIOS update if the board is from an earlier generation than the chip.
How many cores and threads does it have?
20 cores and 20 threads. Cores do the work; threads are the number of jobs the chip can keep in flight at once. Games lean on a handful of fast cores, while rendering, compiling and video export scale with the total count.
What sort of cooler does it need?
It is rated at 65W TDP, which is the heat a cooler has to carry away under sustained load. Match or beat that figure with the cooler you choose, and check the What’s in the box list above - some processors ship with a cooler, some do not. Our PC Builder only offers coolers that fit the socket you have picked.
Do I need a separate graphics card with it?
No - this processor has integrated graphics, so it will drive a display on its own. You still want a graphics card for gaming or GPU-accelerated creative work, but the machine will boot and run without one.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
