Intel
Core Ultra 7 256V Specifications
BGA8 cores / 8 threads
Released September 24, 2024
Nearly identical to the 258V above it — same four Performance and four Low Power Efficient cores, same 4.8GHz boost, same 12MB cache, same 17W-to-37W power range and the same Arc 140V graphics — the 256V's one stated difference is memory: its LPDDR5X-8533 is soldered up to 16GB rather than the 32GB the 258V supports.
Tied 19th of 23 models in the Laptop CPU catalog on Boost clock — 4 models share this figure. Tied 20th of 23 models in the Laptop CPU catalog on L3 cache — 3 models share this figure.

Guides for this category
How to choose a desktop CPUA chip's socket decides what it can go into; cores, cache and TDP decide what you actually get once it's installed.How many CPU cores you actually needWhy more cores is not more speed, how gaming and productivity ask for cores differently, and why a core count alone never ranks two chips.When a CPU price is actually goodWhy a chip's list price and discount percentage tell you little, what a processor's price does over its life, and how to read its tracked history.Laptop CPU vs desktop CPUA mobile chip with the same core count is not the same processor — what the power envelope changes, and why these parts carry no price.
