The latest leak reveals Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265K “Arrow Lake” CPU delivering exceptional multi-core performance, surpassing the Ryzen 9 9950X and Intel’s own 14900KS. Here’s what the benchmark results show.
Intel Core Ultra 7 265K: A Multi-Core Powerhouse
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, equipped with 8 Performance Cores (P-Cores) and 12 Efficiency Cores (E-Cores), packs 20 cores and 20 threads. The chip features 30MB of L3 cache and 36MB of L2 cache, offering a total cache pool of 66 MB. It operates with a base clock of 3.9 GHz (P-Cores) and boosts up to 5.5 GHz, while the E-Cores run from 3.3 GHz up to 4.6 GHz. Its TDP ranges from 125W (PL1) to 250W (PL2).
In leaked Geekbench 6 tests, the Core Ultra 7 265K scored 3,283 in single-core and 22,293 in multi-core performance. Here’s how it stacks up:
- 11.4% faster than the Intel Core i7-14700K.
- 6.3% faster than the Intel Core i9-14900K.
- 8.4% lead over the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X in multi-core performance.
Why the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K Stands Out
Despite having fewer threads compared to its competitors (20 threads vs. 28 and 32 on rivals), the Core Ultra 7 265K holds a multi-core advantage, possibly due to optimized power and memory configurations. With support for ultra-fast DDR5 memory and innovative architecture, Intel’s “Arrow Lake” CPUs are shaping up to be fierce competitors in the high-performance market.
Keep an eye on Intel’s upcoming releases for even more groundbreaking performance advancements!
