Specifications
Details
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF Tray variant is the exact same processor with identical functionality to the boxed version. The only differences are packaging and warranty. It ships without a retail box and without a cooler, typically sold to system integrators and resellers. It runs Arrow Lake architecture with 20 cores on the LGA1851 socket.
Key Highlights:
- Identical Performance to Boxed: There are no functional differences between Tray and Boxed processors carrying the same processor number.
- 20-Core Hybrid Architecture: 8 Performance-cores and 12 Efficient-cores with 20 threads, intelligently balancing speed and power draw.
- 3.9 GHz P-Core Base Clock: A high starting point for sustained performance, with E-cores running at 3.3 GHz base.
- 5.5 GHz Max Turbo: Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 automatically raises the fastest core's frequency for single-threaded tasks, with P-cores reaching 5.4 GHz and E-cores reaching 4.6 GHz.
- 30MB Intel Smart Cache: Paired with 36MB of L2 cache to reduce latency when accessing frequently reused data.
- Integrated AI Processor (NPU): Intel AI Boost rated at 13 TOPS (Int8) accelerates local AI tasks like Windows Studio Effects.
- DDR5 Support Up to 6400 MT/s: Up to 256GB of DDR5 across two channels, raising bandwidth for demanding applications.
- PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0: Up to 24 PCIe lanes in 1x16+2x4 or 2x8+2x4 configurations, driving modern graphics cards and NVMe drives.
- 125W Base Power: Processor Base Power reaches 250W at maximum turbo, requiring a capable cooler and motherboard.
- No Integrated Graphics and No Cooler: The KF suffix denotes no iGPU so a discrete graphics card is required, and the Tray variant ships without a heatsink or fan, so an LGA1851-compatible cooler must be purchased separately.
