Intel Core Ultra 5 235T

Core Ultra 5

14 / 14 C/T 5 GHz 2.2 GHz base

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235T is a 14-core Arrow Lake-S processor designed for users who prioritize low power consumption without sacrificing core count. Built on TSMC's 3 nm process, it features 6 Lion Cove P-cores and 8 Skymont E-cores, delivering a hybrid architecture that balances single-threaded responsiveness with multi-threaded throughput. What sets the 235T apart is its T-series power profile: while the labeled TDP sits at 65 W, the PL1 sustained power limit is just 35 W, making it exceptionally well-suited for small form factor builds, mini-ITX systems, and thermally constrained environments. Despite the low sustained power, the PL2 turbo limit of 114 W allows the processor to burst up to 5.0 GHz when headroom is available. It includes a 24 EU Arc Xe-LPG integrated GPU for basic display duties and light workloads, along with an NPU 3 rated at 13 TOPS for local AI inference tasks. Launched on January 7, 2025, at $247, the 235T occupies a specific niche for builders who want modern Arrow Lake features in a power-efficient package.

Intel Core Ultra 5 235A

Core Ultra 5

14 / 14 C/T 5 GHz 3.4 GHz base

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235A is a mid-2025 refresh of the Arrow Lake-S desktop lineup, offering 14 cores with a notably higher 3.4 GHz base clock compared to the T-series 235T. Built on TSMC's 3 nm process with a B0 stepping, the 235A delivers more consistent sustained performance by matching its PL1 power limit to its 65W TDP, eliminating the aggressive power throttling that characterizes T-series models. It retains the same 6 Lion Cove P-cores and 8 Skymont E-cores, the same 24 EU Arc Xe-LPG integrated GPU, and the same 13 TOPS NPU 3. The B0 stepping suggests manufacturing refinements that may improve voltage behavior, thermal characteristics, or silicon health compared to the earlier A0 stepping found on launch-day processors. Priced at $269 and released on July 29, 2025, the 235A fills the gap between the budget-oriented 225F and the higher-end 245T, targeting mainstream users who want reliable sustained performance from Arrow Lake without paying for K-series features or accepting T-series power constraints.

Intel Core Ultra 5 225F

Core Ultra 5

10 / 10 C/T 4.9 GHz 3.3 GHz base

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F is the most affordable entry point into the Arrow Lake-S desktop platform, launched at $231 on January 7, 2025. It features a reduced core configuration of 6 Lion Cove P-cores and 4 Skymont E-cores for a total of 10 cores and 10 threads, along with a smaller 20 MB L3 cache compared to the 24 MB found on higher-tier Ultra 5 models. As an F-series processor, the integrated graphics are completely disabled, making a discrete GPU mandatory for any display output. This cost reduction allows Intel to position the 225F as a budget-friendly option for gamers and productivity users who already own or plan to purchase a dedicated graphics card. Despite the reductions, the 225F retains the NPU 3 with 13 TOPS for AI workloads, PCIe 5.0 support, and DDR5-6400 native memory speeds. With a standard 65W TDP and PL1, and a 121W PL2 for boost, it delivers straightforward power characteristics that are easy to pair with mainstream cooling solutions. The processor is available in two part numbers corresponding to A0 and B0 steppings.
