Intel Core Ultra 7 20 Core LGA 1851 265KF 5.50GHz CPU Processor (BX80768265KF)

Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 265KF LGA1851 (30M Cache, Up to 5.50 GHz)(15th Gen) Please note: No CPU Cooler Included

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF (BX80768265KF) is a high-end desktop CPU from Intel’s “Ultra 7” lineup (Arrow Lake / Series 2), designed for enthusiasts, creators, and demanding workloads. With 20 cores (8 performance + 12 efficient) and 20 threads, it delivers strong single-core performance and ample parallel throughput — ideal for gaming, video editing, rendering, AI applications, and multitasking. It pairs next-gen platform features (DDR5, PCIe 5.0, NPU-accelerated AI tasks) with high turbo frequency (up to 5.5 GHz), giving a blend of raw speed + modern capabilities.

Because this SKU ends with “KF,” it doesn’t include integrated graphics — so a discrete GPU is required.

More Key Features

• Hybrid 20-Core (8P + 12E) Architecture — The mixed core design gives you powerful “P-cores” for demanding tasks (gaming, rendering, compilation) and efficient “E-cores” for background tasks (downloads, streaming, multitasking), improving both responsiveness and multitasking.

• High Turbo Clock up to 5.5 GHz — For peak single-thread workloads (gaming, creative apps, heavy tasks) the CPU can boost to 5.5 GHz under the right conditions, ensuring snappy performance where single-thread speed matters.

• Modern Platform: DDR5 & PCIe 5.0 + AI-Ready NPU — Supports fast DDR5 memory (up to 6400 MHz), up to 192 GB RAM, and has built-in neural engine (NPU / AI Boost) for accelerating AI workloads, machine-learning tasks, Windows Studio effects, etc.

• Large Cache & Multitasking Capable — 30 MB of Smart Cache (plus L2 cache) helps with heavy workloads, multitasking, compile-time, rendering, and data throughput hungry tasks.

• Unlocked “KF” for Overclocking + Enthusiast-Friendly — As an “KF” part, the multiplier is unlocked, giving enthusiasts flexibility for overclocking and tuning (assuming compatible motherboard and cooling) for extra performance headroom.
