A brand new Intel Core Extremely CPU benchmark has simply appeared within the Geekbench browser, probably exhibiting off the primary real-world outcomes of an unreleased Arrow Lake CPU, the Intel Core Extremely 5 225F. The leaked benchmark is the primary end result we’ve seen for this lower-spec gaming CPU, and judging from its specs, it might turn out to be a brand new budget-friendly choice.
That’s as a result of this new Intel Core Extremely CPU appears to be a like-for-like successor to the Intel Core i5 13400F which, regardless of its age, continues to be among the finest gaming CPUs you should buy on a price range. Just like the 13400F, we’re assuming that this new Core Extremely 5 225F CPU from Intel gained’t include an built-in GPU, because of the ‘F’ suffix.
Shared initially in a submit by Benchleaks on X (previously Twitter), the Geekbench end result offers two scores. The only-core check is a stress check of a single CPU core, which is normally indicator of how properly it would carry out in video games, whereas the multi-core check will stress check all of a CPU’s cores to see how properly it performs multi-threaded duties, akin to 3D rendering.
The outcomes themselves present that the Core Extremely 5 225F scores 2,653 for single-core efficiency and 13,028 for multi-core efficiency. As compared, the 13400F scores 2,299 within the single-core check, and 10,933 within the multi-core check, whereas the last-gen flagship Intel Core i9 14900K romps forward with 3,080 single and 20,655 multi-core check scores.
The specs aren’t an excessive amount of of a shock, as a earlier Arrow Lake leak relayed a number of the potential information about this lower-spec CPU. As that leak urged, the CPU on this new benchmark leak has ten cores, six of that are the gaming-important P-cores, together with an extra 4 E-cores, 20MB of L3 cache, and a thermal design energy (TDP) score of 65W. These specs all match the 13400F that it ought to substitute, nevertheless it’s additionally value noting the bottom and increase clock speeds.
Based on this earlier leak, the Intel Core Extremely 5 225F would solely have a lift velocity of three.3GHz. Nonetheless, the benchmark suggests as an alternative that, whereas the bottom clock velocity is 3.3GHz, the 225F comes with a a lot increased 4.9GHz increase clock velocity, a 300MHz enchancment over the 13400F. That’s additionally significantly better than the earlier leak urged, and will level to those lower-end Intel Arrow Lake CPUs being a significantly better choice for price range avid gamers.
With a $210 MSRP, the 13400F gives nice efficiency for its worth. Whereas top-end Arrow Lake CPUs haven’t impressed avid gamers to date, as we present in our Core Extremely 265K evaluation , ought to Intel launch this new Core Extremely 5 225F CPU at an analogous worth to the 13400F, it might show to be fashionable amongst price range patrons.
This explicit CPU isn’t obtainable simply but, however you possibly can take a look at our Intel Arrow Lake information to seek out out every thing we find out about Intel’s newest CPU lineup to date, particularly with a rumored new Core Extremely microcode replace on the best way which might enhance efficiency. You may also take a look at our AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D evaluation to listen to concerning the newest AMD powerhouse gaming CPU.
