The New Foundation of AI PC. Next-Gen Desktop Performance with Dedicated AI Power. — Experience a new era of efficient computing with hybrid core architecture and a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU).
The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 is a desktop processor from the new Core Ultra (Series 2) lineup, based on the Arrow Lake architecture and built on the cutting-edge TSMC N3B process. It features a new Hybrid Core design with 6 Performance-cores (P-cores) and 4 Efficient-cores (E-cores), totaling 10 Cores and 10 Threads, with a Max Turbo Frequency of up to 4.9 GHz. Crucially, it integrates an Intel AI Boost NPU, providing 13 TOPS (Int8) of dedicated power for accelerating AI tasks like generative AI features and Windows Studio Effects, offloading them from the CPU and GPU. It uses the new FCLGA1851 socket, supports fast DDR5 6400 MT/s memory, and provides 24 total PCIe lanes (Gen 5 and Gen 4). With a 65W Processor Base Power, it is designed for efficient, powerful, and AI-enabled mainstream desktop builds.
