An undisclosed Intel Core Ultra 5 235 desktop processor has been identified on Geekbench, indicating its specifications and performance metrics ahead of its official release. This CPU is built on Intel's Arrow Lake architecture and is classified as a non-overclockable model, designated as a non-K variant. The Core Ultra 5 235 is expected to be formally announced by Intel in the early months of next year. According to data sourced from BenchLeaks, the processor comprises fourteen cores, which include six high-performance P-cores and eight energy-efficient E-cores. Additionally, the CPU boasts a boost clock frequency of approximately 5.0 GHz and is compatible with the upcoming LGA-1851 platform, slated for introduction later this month.

Performance benchmarks from Geekbench reveal that the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 achieves a single-threaded score of 2,634 and a multi-core score of 13,293. When compared to the Intel Core i5-14500, the predecessor to the forthcoming Core Ultra series, the single-core performance of the Core Ultra 5 235 is slightly superior, while the multi-core performance remains largely comparable. These scores suggest that the Core Ultra 5 235 offers incremental improvements in single-threaded tasks, maintaining similar efficiency in multi-threaded applications. VideoCardz highlights that the marginal increase in single-core performance positions the Core Ultra 5 235 as a viable upgrade for users seeking enhanced processing capabilities without significant changes in multi-core performance.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 is part of the Arrow Lake family, marking Intel's initial transition to a chiplet-based design for its desktop processors. This architectural shift aims to enhance scalability and performance efficiency. Intel plans to release overclockable Arrow Lake CPUs, identified by a K suffix, in the current month. Following this, the non-overclockable variants, including the Core Ultra 5 235, are anticipated to be launched in the early part of next year.
