Intel Core Ultra 5 235 Boxed (BX80768235) — LGA1851 14‑Core, up to 5.0GHz

Description

Overview

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 (BX80768235) is a retail/boxed desktop CPU from Intel’s Core Ultra (Series 2, Arrow Lake) family. It combines a hybrid core layout aimed at balanced single‑thread and multi‑thread workloads, delivering a practical mix of performance for creative work, multitasking and mainstream gaming. The processor uses the FCLGA1851 (LGA1851) socket and supports modern platform features such as DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0.

Key features

• 14 cores (6 Performance‑cores + 8 Efficient‑cores) and 14 threads — hybrid core design for mixed workloads.
• Performance range: base/performance core frequencies around 3.4GHz with boost up to 5.0GHz.
• 24MB Intel Smart Cache (L3) with additional L2 cache on the compute clusters.
• Processor Base Power ~65W (PL1) and Maximum Turbo Power up to ~121W (PL2) depending on motherboard and cooling.
• Integrated Intel Graphics (Xe‑based), support for DDR5 memory (up to DDR5‑6400 in supported configurations) and PCIe 5.0 lanes for modern GPUs and NVMe storage.
• Boxed (retail) SKU — typically shipped with Intel’s retail thermal solution in the box (check exact cooler model with supplier).

Compatibility note: this CPU requires a motherboard with the FCLGA1851 socket and a compatible 800‑series (or later) chipset BIOS that supports Core Ultra Series 2 processors. For highest memory and I/O performance use DDR5 modules and PCIe 5.0 capable components.
