Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU shows great improvements over predecessors in L1 & L3 cache speed but fails to impress with L2 cache. AIDA64 benchmark shows mixed results for Intel Core Ultra 7 265K In Memory & Cache Latency tests, probably due to early ES nature We have already seen several benchmarks of the upcoming Arrow Lake chips on Geekbench, but this recent AIDA64 benchmark for the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU reveals a lot more about them. It looks like the performance flaws in some areas can be due to poor optimizations or early samples but at […]
New benchmarks of Intel's Core Ultra 7 265K CPU have leaked out and showcase strong single and multi-threaded performance versus AMD's AM5 chips. Intel Core Ultra 7 265K Up To 10% Faster In Multi-Threading Versus Core i7-14700K, Reaches 14900K Single-Core Performance It looks like the previous Intel Core Ultra 7 265K benchmarks that we got to see a few days ago had some issues as new ones have now leaked out within the same CPU-z benchmark and report much higher performance figures. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF will be the second fastest Arrow Lake CPU within the Core Ultra […]
Intel has announced that it is ending its 20A production plan and shifting to 18A instead while Arrow Lake will use external nodes. Intel 20A Ends As 18A Node Takes Over, Arrow Lake Shifted To External Foundries But Packaged At Intel Foundry Press Release: Since releasing the Intel 18A Process Design Kit (PDK) 1.0 in July, we have seen positive responses across our ecosystem and are encouraged by what we’re seeing from Intel 18A in the fab. It’s powered on and booting on operating systems, healthy, and yielding well – and we remain on track for launch in 2025. One […]
Intel's Core Ultra 7 265K "Arrow Lake" CPU has been pictured and we also get to see a brand new benchmark leak within the CPU-z test. Intel's Core Ultra 7 265K "Arrow Lake" CPU Shows Little Performance Gains In CPU-z Benchmark Leak The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF will be the second fastest Arrow Lake CPU within the Core Ultra 200K Desktop lineup. The chip will feature 20 cores, 20 threads, a base clock of 3.9 GHz, and boost clocks of up to 5.50 GHz. It will also carry 33 MB of L3 cache and feature a 125W (PL1) TDP. […]

In a community blog post, Intel has announced that its next-generation Lunar Lake & Arrow Lake CPUs won't be affected by instability issues. Intel's New Architecture For Lunar Lake & Arrow Lake CPUs Promises Zero Instability Issues As you might know, consumer trust in Intel's CPUs took a major dent ever since the 14th & 13th Gen CPU instability issues gained traction. Since then, Intel has worked towards a solution that has now been rolled out by motherboard manufacturers in the latest BIOS which leverages a new microcode patch. Future Product Update Intel confirms that its next generation of processors, […]
