Intel Core Ultra 5 235 LGA 1851 Processor

This is an Intel Core Ultra Series 2 desktop processor featuring the Arrow Lake architecture with 14 cores (6 performance cores and 4 efficient cores) and 14 threads. It reaches boost speeds up to 5.0GHz and includes a dedicated NPU capable of 36 TOPS for AI workloads. The processor supports DDR5 memory, WiFi 7, additional PCIe 5.0 lanes, and native Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4.0 connectivity.

The Core Ultra 5 235 balances gaming performance with general productivity tasks through its hybrid core configuration. The dedicated NPU handles AI operations separately from the CPU and GPU, allowing those components to focus on gaming and streaming. Power efficiency improvements mean lower heat output and reduced energy consumption compared to previous generations, whilst maintaining strong single and multi-threaded performance for both gaming and content creation workloads.
