Main Specifications

Year of Release

2024

Family

Ultra 5

Microarchitecture

Arrow Lake

Microarchitecture

The code name of the generation and internal organization of the processor. A common indicative element is the nanometers (nm) of the microarchitecture; the smaller, the better. The latest and most recent generation of Intel, named Arrow Lake, includes the “Core Ultra” models without the "i" prefix. The latest and most recent generation of AMD is Zen 5.

Socket

1851

Socket

The processor socket type.

The motherboard we choose should have the same socket in order for the processor to "fit in".

Packaging

Tray

Packaging

Tray

"They are not accompanied by a cooler and a fan. They are intended for those who wish to purchase a cooling system independently."

Compatible Chipset

Z890

Type

Middle Range

Performance

Cores

14

Cores

The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.

Threads

14

Threads

Threads are virtual versions of processor cores. They allow the processor to serve multiple tasks in parallel.

Processor Frequency (Base Frequency)

3.5 GHz

Processor Frequency (Base Frequency)

The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.

Max Processor Frequency

5.1 GHz

Max Processor Frequency

The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)

Cache memory

26 MB

Cache memory

Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.

Unlocked

No

Unlocked

Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).

Thermal Design Power (TDP)

121 W

Thermal Design Power (TDP)

The TDP shows how much heat the processor generates during typical use.

The cooler used should be capable of handling this amount of heat.

Features & Functions

Embedded Graphics

Intel Graphics

Embedded Graphics

Processors with integrated graphics processing unit. A motherboard that supports this function is required.

With such a combination, the need to purchase a graphics card can be eliminated. It is recommended only for simple use.

Includes Heatsink

No

Includes Heatsink

The processor requires cooling in order to operate. If the processor does not come with a heatsink, you will need to purchase a suitable CPU heatsink or a separate water cooling system.
