Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 7 265KF and Core Ultra 5 245KF, which vie for a spot on the list of best CPUs, have been benchmarked in Geekbench 6 and Geekbench 5, respectively. Benchleaks on X discovered the Core Ultra 7 265KF was up to 4% faster than Intel's outgoing Core i9-14900KF flagship in Geekbench 6 and only 7% slower in multi-core performance. However, the chip showed unimpressive performance against its direct predecessor, the Core i7-14700KF.
The Core Ultra 7 265KF was benchmarked on a Gigabyte Z890 Aero G motherboard utilizing Geekbench 6.3.0. In the Geekbench 6 single-core benchmark, the Arrow Lake processor scored 3,219 points. In the multi-core benchmark, the chip scored 19,433 points. The same CPU and motherboard combo was also tested in Geekbench 6.3.0's GPU test, featuring an OpenCL score of 235,327 with an RTX 4080.
