Core Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265KF - 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) up to 5.5 GHz

I've read a lot of reviews about how this CPU is not worth it and under performs compared to comparable AMD CPUs especially for gaming -- and that's very possible if you are an extreme gamer -- but I've had no issues at all and is you can find it if sale like I did then I don't think you can go wrong with it. I've played CoD BO7 and Battlefield 4 and done light graphics and video encoding work with no issues at all.

First off, the whole purchasing experience was great. The seller was thorough and made sure I received the product in a timely manner, which is exactly what you want when you're excited to start a new build. I would definitely purchase this item again based on the processor's performance alone. This Intel Ultra 7 is an absolute powerhouse. It chews through everything from high-end gaming to heavy multitasking without breaking a sweat, and the combination of P-cores and E-cores makes the whole system feel incredibly responsive. Now, it's important to note that the only flaw I had during my entire build process was not with the chip itself, but with the MSI hardware I paired it with. I ran into some frustrating stability issues and had to wrestle with a few BIOS updates before the system would run smoothly. Once that was sorted out, the processor performed perfectly, but the initial headache was all due to the motherboard. So, while the Intel 265KF gets a full 5 stars from me for being an amazing piece of tech, I'd strongly advise anyone looking to build with it to do some extra research on motherboard compatibility beforehand to save yourself some trouble

Did my first pc build and this cpu does really well. Pretty good value for money to my understanding so far. Plenty powerful for the games I personally enjoy playing along with daily tasks. It seems pretty stable and I'd definitely recommend.

Love it so far. Only had it a month but it's been great. Previous CPU was a Ryzen 7 3700X and wanted to try something different. Paired it with a Peerless Assassin and great temps it handles everything so far!

A good item and price.

This CPU is amazingly fast! I put together a rig for editing 8k Insta 360 video and this computer just eats it up! So fast. No lag or delay. Just smooth fast processing! 20 cores just chews through the data.

This is quite the beast of a cpu. Also I had no issues with building this pc vs last year when I tried to build a 14700kf rig. Needless to say I couldn’t get it to even load the bios endless memory issues regardless of the ram I used unless I went with small sticks which I wasn’t about to run another 32gb rig. My i7 3770kf ran 32gb and never had these issues. Long story short the cpu/chipset and bios don’t have all the crap issues I found with 12-14th gen’s and yes I even ordered a cheap i5 12500k or whatever just to try and bypass the issues and update bios but even that wouldn’t do it with three ram brands and two cpus on a x870 chipset asus tuf mb. Well I use gigabyte aorus wifi7 mb and 2 48gb of crucial ram with room to add two more. It’s a beast cpu and only issue I had was installing windows 11 since I had all my drives hooked up and found out it will split the OS partitions on other drives and break the install. Anyway I’d say I gained around 35-40% boot speed for loading the OS with my main drive being a m2 ssd. The bios is the only thing I see slowing the cold boot down to pretty much the same as my 3770kf build with a ssd. But that isn’t a issue loads stuff a lot faster. I highly suggest spending the money to just upgrade to this cpu vs trying to save a little with a 12th-14th gen i5/7. I’m pretty sure they got the i5 version of the ultra to just use my pc for more then just gaming. Audio production and recording ect. So I wanted a beast that I wouldn’t need to upgrade for another 10-12 years like my last one.

hardly ever see this thing running over 30% load even while streaming to twitch.

Perfect Product

Riktigt kraftfull CPU till ett bra pris. Jag tror att den kommer hänga med åtminstone 5 år. Den drar inte mycket när man gör enklare saker heller och håller systemet svalt. Klockar upp fint.

This is a superb processor for the price, very fast, runs cools and nothing I've done hits it's performance. Compatible with the motherboard and RAM I purchased, W11 and all the applications I use regularly.

Core i7-13700kからの変更のため、そこまで大きな差を感じる事はないと思っていましたが……。 実際には全体的に動作はスムーズで、排熱量も圧倒的に少なく省電力と思っていたよりも性能差がわかる結果に大変満足しています。 特にカクつきを感じていたゲーム等でも変更後は特に違和感もなく、スムーズに動いていたので感動しました。 故障率も少ないようですし、動画見ながらゲームをするなどマルチタスクをする人におすすめの逸品です。 ゲーム特化ならRyzenの方がコスパ的には良いとは思いますが、BIOSの設定やメモリコントローラー等の問題など少し素人には触れづらい部分もありますので、最初にパソコンに触れるなら安定性のあるこのCPUを選んだ方が無難だと思います。
