Processor
by Intel
A 20-core Arrow Lake chip for gaming and creator builds (the 265KF is the same chip without integrated graphics).
The Core Ultra 7 265K has twenty cores (eight performance, twelve efficient) and suits builds that mix gaming with editing, streaming and other multithreaded work.
It needs an LGA 1851 board from the 800-series and DDR5 memory. The 265KF is the same chip without integrated graphics, usually for a little less, and is the better buy if you use a dedicated graphics card.
