Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus CPU / Processor - 18 Cores - 18 Threads - Up to 5.3GHz - Intel AI Boost - Boxed

The Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus is a new-generation desktop processor from Intel's Core Ultra 200S Plus series, built on Intel's refined Arrow Lake architecture for fast gaming and smooth everyday multitasking. Its hybrid design combines 6 Performance cores and 12 Efficient cores for a total of 18 cores and 18 threads, giving it four more Efficient cores than the previous Core Ultra 5 245KF.

With boost frequencies up to 5.3GHz, 30MB of Intel Smart Cache and a faster die-to-die link between the cores and the memory controller, the Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus delivers strong single-core and multi-core performance for modern AAA gaming, streaming, video editing and content creation. It supports DDR5 memory up to 7200 MT/s and PCIe 5.0 connectivity for the latest graphics cards and ultra-fast NVMe SSDs.

The processor includes the Intel AI Boost NPU to accelerate AI-enhanced applications and features. As a KF-series model it has no integrated graphics, so a dedicated graphics card is required for display output, which makes it a great match for gaming PCs built around a powerful GPU.

With an unlocked multiplier for overclocking and compatibility with Intel LGA1851 motherboards using 800 series chipsets, the Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus is an excellent value choice for mid-range and high-end gaming systems.
