Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF Desktop Processor

Description

Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF (Arrow Lake, 20-Core Hybrid)

This chip is built for people who want their desktop to hustle intelligently. It packs eight high-performance cores and 12 efficient cores, all driven by Intel’s new Arrow Lake design on a cutting-edge 3 nm node. Imagine ramping up past 5.5 GHz when needed while sipping power off-peak, under a manageable 125 W TDP.

You get unlocked overclocking, PCIe 5.0 lanes, DDR5 muscle, and no integrated graphics—because serious users either don’t need it or already have a dedicated GPU. It’s pure power, scaled responsibly for modern workloads and built for builders who don’t force their rigs to work harder than necessary.
