Intel Core Ultra 5 235 BOX (BX80768235)

The new generation of Intel Core Ultra processors (2024) for the LGA 1851 platform, based on the Arrow Lake architecture. Positioned in the mid-price segment and marketed as a versatile solution for modern gaming and work systems. The KF index indicates the absence of integrated graphics and support for overclocking, which is why the model is designed for users with a discrete graphics card.

According to the manufacturer, the processor is best utilized with mid and high-level graphics cards (GeForce RTX 4070 Super/4070 Ti or Radeon RX 7800 XT/7900 GRE), allowing for comfortable gaming at resolutions up to 4K. Additionally, it's well-suited for working on medium-complexity multimedia projects in Photoshop, Premiere Pro, or After Effects, providing high responsiveness and stable multithreaded performance.

The processor configuration includes 14 cores: 6 performance P-cores and 8 energy-efficient E-cores. The P-cores boost up to 5.3 GHz in Turbo mode, and the E-cores operate in the range of 3.8–4.0 GHz. This setup offers a good balance between high responsiveness in games and the ability to efficiently distribute load in multitasking scenarios. However, the manufacturer has removed multithreading support, which used to be a key feature of the Intel Core lineup, and instead focused on optimizing the architecture and enhancing the neural block required for AI-related tasks. DDR5 memory support up to 6400 MHz frequencies and PCIe 5.0 interface makes it a relevant solution with future-proof capabilities. The base power consumption is at 125W, but under full load, it can increase significantly, so advanced air or liquid cooling is recommended.
