A great value if you need a strong multi-threaded processor
The Gaming performance is decent, the CPU is stable, and it doesn't run hot or consume a ton of power. In Gaming it beats on and beats out older 14nm Intel processors, and it can go toe to toe with Alder Lake processors. I haven't checked out the performance of the Integrated Graphics, but it is supposedly way better than what Intel had used for years with their Core i desktop processors.Where this processor really shines is with workstation type tasks. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar there isn't a better value. I ran a number of benchmarks such as a few different versions of Cinebench and the benchmark numbers this thing puts out is amazing. The Skymont based E-Cores on these Arrow Lake processors are greatly improved over the Gracemont E-Cores that were used in Raptor Lake and Alder Lake.The reason I bought this is I was forced to buy a motherboard with a 5090, and I decided to upgrade my Daughter's computer which had a Core i9-9900k. I gave her a choice between Intel and AMD Ryzen, and she picked Intel. Since I had a spare motherboard for both platforms, I decided on this processor. The Core Ultra 9 285k would have been nice, but I didn't see a reason to pay almost twice as much for four extra E-Cores and slightly higher clock frequencies.Given a choice for my own system, I probably wouldn't buy one of these unless I needed something cheap for CAD, Premiere Pro, or something that can leverage Quick-Sync. What I dislike the most is not the CPU, but the platform. Intel plans to release Arrow Lake refresh processors for this platform, then they'll ditch it for another socket with Panther/Nova Lake. At least AMD is going to squeeze out Zen 6 for socket AM5.Overall this is a good processor. In some ways it reminds me of the workstation type value the old FX-8150 and FX-8350 brought to the table, but it doesn't have all of the heat and power consumption issues that came with those processors.

Good CPU! got it on sale too!
It's worth every penny. Its in a build right now, works flawlessly, I had an older gen intel and this is much better. I would recommend this. Install was straightforward easy to do and no issues with the cpu.

Happy I went Intel this time.
Dont care what others say about intel. Yes the9r last generation was terrible but I went intel this time because my recent builds havent been perfect either. I also wanted integrated graphics without sacrificing performance...somethong AMD isn't good at.Yes i have an RTX graphics card but integrated graphics is great for trouble shooting, someday, you'll need it and swapping a GPU in and out of an ITX is painful. And wouldn't you know it, my riser cable went bad on the initial build and needed that integrated graphics to trouble shoot.Anyhow thos processor is performing awesome. Using it mainly for workstation. Super fast and responsive. But doesn't grt bogged down and don't see all CPUs aimlessly throttling. And it's running at lower power doing most of it too. Zero issues. If you aren't trying to eek out every last game rate for gaming like all the reviews assume, then definitely consider this CPU.

More tasks and a greater flow!
What's there to say, it computes all my streaming and gaming tasks flawlessly!

Good CPU, as long as you keep up with the firmware updates, as well as BIOS updates
I bought this in December last year for a build I was putting together, which I was able to finish in January of this year and have always gone with Intel, but was moving up from a 7th Gen i5 processor Dell SFF Optiplex to the most current CPU on a Z890 based motherboard.With the Thermalrake bracket to better hold the CPU to the socket, it's been great so far and video editing so far on 1080P has been fantastic, I have it paired with the Intel A770 graphics card and it all works great.Not bad price for a really current CPU and was not that much more than the 13/14th Gen processors, so went for it.

One of the fastest processors there is for single-core benchmarks.
Hello, I purchased the Ultra 7 265K for a micro ATX build. It went right into the LGA 1851 socket. It started right up on the first try and I installed Ubuntu Linux 24.04 on the system. It will compile C/C++ programs 3-times faster than my old system which was a i7-2600K.I'm currently experimenting with the integrated graphics, as I do not yet have a dedicated GPU. This processor is rated very high in the single-core processing benchmarks. I'm seeing how far I can push it.With just a few case fans, it idles at under 40C even with ambient temperature of about 30C.

Intel promo is a scam!
While the CPU itself is great, the Intel promo is a total scam - they ask you to provide personal information piece by piece, followed by requiring to run a full hardware scan software on your device.

Really happy with product, disappointed in promotions
"It does the thing"... I used this to replace a Ryzen 7950X in a NAS server that runs a few virtual machines -- no difference in VM performance, BUT HUGE difference despite being very similar on paper: Ryzen "ECO" mode is kind of a joke compared to Intel's P1 and P2 limit settings -- compared to the Ryzen in "ECO" Mode, with P1 and P2 both set to 65W the server is drawing 100W less from the wall measured by a power meter; I pulled P1 down to 30W in the end and it still runs fine (e.g., right now I'm typing this in a browser window from one of those VMs). The NAS lives in a closet, and the reduced heat level makes the entire room very noticeably cooler and quieter.More of an issue with how things are sold on Amazon -- I ended up buying a second one and returning the first because right after I bought the CPU there was a promotion for less than I paid AND including a bunch of games that together more than halved the price of the CPU.
