Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 230F

The Intel Core Ultra 5 230F is a desktop processor with a hybrid 10-core layout (6 performance cores + 4 efficiency cores) and 10 threads, built on the Arrow Lake architecture. It launched in 2025. Clocks run from 2.9 GHz base to 5.0 GHz boost. A 24-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.7 MB per core).

The Intel Core Ultra 5 230F scores 4,617 in single-core performance and 32,916 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 12,328 for overall performance, 27,859 for productivity performance, 26,414 for creator performance, 34,768 for engineering performance and 22,080 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,292 per core and 3,292 per thread. Its performance index is 153, so its overall performance is 53% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core Ultra 5 230F scores 68,145 in integer math, 96,334 in floating-point math, 324,797 in compression, 23,452 in cryptography, 2,696 in physics simulation, 28,877 in vector SIMD, 374 in the prime sieve and 39,010 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 16% above in integer math, 110% above in floating-point math, 42% above in compression, 104% above in cryptography, 147% above in physics simulation, 86% above in vector SIMD, 458% above in the prime sieve and 72% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 230F has 10 physical cores and runs 10 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.90 GHz and boosts up to 5.00 GHz.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 230F is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core Ultra 5 family and uses the Arrow Lake architecture. It launched in 2025.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 230F has 1.03 MB of L1 cache, 22 MB of L2 cache and 24 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 47.0 MB of cache, or 4.70 MB per core.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 230F has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1.0 MB, L2 at 22 MB and L3 at 24 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 51% of the cache listed here.
