Intel Core Ultra 7 265K 20-core LGA1700
The 20-core Arrow Lake-S architecture on a 3nm process delivers a 58,722 PassMark multi-core score while constrained to a 65W TDP, making it a standout for power-efficient compute density. Its integrated Arc Xe-LPG graphics and support for up to 192GB of ECC memory provide a capable platform for entry-level workstation tasks without a discrete GPU. This chip is best for small-form-factor workstation users running sustained, multi-threaded productivity loads where thermal headroom is limited.
