Intel Core Ultra 5 200 20-core LGA1700
The 20-core, 5.2GHz boost clock and support for up to 192GB of ECC DDR4 memory make this processor a strong choice for memory-intensive workstation tasks. Its 65W TDP delivers solid multi-threaded efficiency for the core count, though the PCIe 3.0 limitation and weak integrated graphics hold it back for modern gaming. This chip is best for budget-conscious system builders assembling a home server or a productivity tower for heavy multitasking and virtual machines.
