Intel Core Ultra 5 235U
The Intel Core Ultra 5 235U is a 12-core mobile processor from the Arrow Lake microarchitecture, released in January 2025.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 235U is a mobile processor based on the Arrow Lake microarchitecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process node. It features 12 cores (2 performance cores and 8 efficient cores) with 14 threads, a base clock of 2 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.9 GHz. The processor includes 12 MB of L3 cache and has a base power of 15 W with a maximum turbo power of 57 W. It supports up to LPDDR5/X 8400 MT/s or DDR5 6400 MT/s memory across two channels, but does not support ECC memory. The integrated graphics is Intel Graphics. The CPU provides 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes and uses the FCBGA2049 socket. It supports instruction sets including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX2, but the multiplier is locked. The launch MSRP was $247.
