Product overview Released January 7, 2025, the Core Ultra 5 225F is a Series 2 (Arrow Lake‑S) desktop CPU for socket LGA1851 and Intel 800‑series motherboards. It uses a 10‑core hybrid layout (6P+4E) with 10 threads (no Hyper‑Threading), boosts up to 4.9 GHz from a 3.3 GHz base, carries 20 MB L3 plus 22 MB L2 cache, and has a 65 W base power. It is not discontinued as of August 2026.
Positioned in the mainstream tier, it exists to deliver balanced gaming and productivity value below Ultra 7/9. With DDR5‑6400 support and PCIe 5.0/4.0 lanes from the CPU, it’s a solid fit for 1080p gaming, office/productivity, and budget builds—just pair a discrete GPU since this F‑suffix part lacks integrated graphics.
