Noticeable performance boost

The Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus processor delivers a significant speed increase compared to popular predecessors such as the Core i5 14600 and Core Ultra 5 245K. At the same time, the model offers an attractive price-to-performance ratio, comparing favorably even with the similarly powerful AMD Ryzen 7 9700X. The chip features 18 cores in a 6 Performance + 12 Efficient configuration and demonstrates high speed in both single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks.

The configuration is complemented by 30 MB of Smart Cache and a dedicated neural processing unit delivering 13 TOPS, designed to accelerate applications with AI features. The processor is designed for the LGA 1851 socket and supports modern DDR5 and PCI-E 5.0 interfaces, providing broad options for selecting up-to-date components. The officially supported memory frequency is up to 7200 MHz, although enthusiasts have managed to overclock modules to 8000+ MHz. Its performance headroom is sufficient for efficient operation with top-tier graphics cards such as the GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 at Full HD and 2K resolutions.

Versatile energy-efficient chip

The processor is manufactured using a 3 nm process technology, with maximum heat dissipation reaching 159 W. Thanks to moderate power consumption, a mid-range power supply of around 650 W and a high-performance air cooling system can be used for stable system operation. In tests, the processor temperature stays within approximately 70–75 °C, while installing liquid cooling can reduce it by another 10 °C.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is well suited for a wide range of scenarios: a powerful home multimedia computer, a gaming build, or a high-performance workstation. Integrated graphics allow the system to be used without a dedicated graphics card initially. Its capabilities are sufficient for everyday graphics and video work, as well as undemanding games.
