Intel Core Ultra 7 256V
The Core Ultra 7 256V is a 8 core CPU from Intel released in 2024. This chip has a very good overall score with 5922 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is a very good processor for gaming, with a score of 9414 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Core Ultra 7 256V scores 4857 points and 4631 points respectively. Indeed, this is a very good rating for very heavy workloads.
The Core Ultra 7 256V has 8 cores and 8 threads. This chip has no simultaneous multithreading support, as it has the same number of cores as threads. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 2.2 GHz and a turbo speed of 4.8 GHz : a higher clock speed that can be reached when thermals and power delivery allow.
As for memory, the Core Ultra 7 256V makes use of DDR5-8533 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. It can accommodate a maximum of 16 GiB of memory. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 2 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled.
In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 7 256V has 14 MiB of level 2 cache and 12 MiB of level 3 cache. This is a fast memory located close to the processor, which stores copies of frequently used data from main memory.
It has a total of 8 PCIe lanes.
