Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF Arrow Lake-S CPU Spotted on Geekbench with 5.5 GHz Boost

First Look at Arrow Lake-S with Official Naming

The upcoming Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF Arrow Lake-S processor has made its debut on Geekbench, marking the first next-gen Intel CPU to leak. This processor features 8 Performance cores and 12 Efficient cores, totaling 20 cores. Notably, the Lion Cove and Skymont architectures do not support hyperthreading, resulting in a thread count of 20.

Benchmark Details and Performance

Tested on MaxSun’s new MS-iCraft Z890 Pacific motherboard, the Core Ultra 7 265KF showcases impressive performance. This motherboard is among the first to use the LGA-1851 socket, paired with the advanced Z890 chipset.

According to Geekbench data, the CPU operates at an average clock speed of 5405 MHz, with a minimum of 4841 MHz and a maximum boost of 5484 MHz. This suggests a maximum boost clock for P-Cores at 5.5 GHz.

Performance Comparison

As part of the Core Ultra 7 series, the 265KF is compared to the previous generation Core i7-14700K. The 265KF demonstrates a 6% improvement in single-core performance but is 23% slower in multi-threaded tests. When compared to the Core i5-14600K, the 265KF shows a 12% increase in single-core and a 1% increase in multi-threaded performance.
