Core Ultra 5 228V Specifications

BGA8 cores / 8 threads

Released September 24, 2024

Intel's Lunar Lake chip: four Performance cores and four Low Power Efficient cores make 8 total and 8 threads, boosting to 4.5GHz from a 2.1GHz Performance-core base. Cache drops to 8MB against the 12MB on the 258V and 256V Core Ultra 7 parts above it, while base power holds at 17W and maximum turbo power at 37W. Arc 130V graphics — a smaller GPU than the 140V on its Core Ultra 7 siblings — and LPDDR5X-8533 memory up to 32GB round out the chip.

23rd of 23 models in the Laptop CPU catalog on Boost clock. Tied 1st of 23 models in the Laptop CPU catalog on TDP — 3 models share this figure.

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.
