AI Summary
Intel’s Core Ultra 7 265 delivers strong 20-core performance at 65W with a PassMark of 49,029 and integrated Arc Xe-LPG 32EU graphics, making it efficient and versatile. At $394, it undercuts flagship parts while trailing the unlocked 265K’s 58,835 score. Ideal for mixed gaming/creation builds targeting value, though heavy multitaskers may prefer Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D.
Pros
- Competitive PassMark 49,029 at $394 offers good price/performance
- 20 cores/20 threads provide ample parallel headroom for creation tasks
- 65W TDP favors cooler, quieter builds and lower power draw
- Integrated Arc Xe-LPG 32EU iGPU adds display/output flexibility without a dGPU
Cons
- Trails sibling 265K (58,835) and 265KF (58,809) in raw throughput
- No published Cinebench/Geekbench/game data limits confidence for specific workloads
- Price overlaps with faster alternatives like Intel Core Ultra 7 265K
- Not as strong for extreme multi-core work as Intel Core Ultra 9 285K or AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
