Product details
The Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 225F is a member of the “Arrow Lake-S” family (Core Ultra Series 2), launched in early 2025. It represents a significant architectural shift from the previous 14th Gen chips, moving to the LGA1851 socket and removing Hyper-Threading in favor of more efficient physical cores.
As an “F” series processor, it lacks integrated graphics, requiring a dedicated GPU.
