The Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF packs 20 cores (8 Performance + 12 Efficient) boosting to 5.5GHz on the LGA1851 socket. It keeps a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080 fed without becoming the bottleneck, and still has headroom for editing and streaming at the same time. This is the tray version: no cooler, no box, and no integrated graphics.

FAQ
Does the Ultra 7 265KF come with a cooler?
No. The tray version ships without a box or cooler, so plan for one.
Does it have integrated graphics?
No. The F means no iGPU, so you need a dedicated graphics card to get a picture.
Which motherboard should I pair it with?
Any LGA1851 board from the Intel 800 series: B860 for everyday builds, Z890 if you want to overclock.
Tray vs boxed: what is the difference?
