Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 235H

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H is a laptop processor with a hybrid 14-core layout (4 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 14 threads, built on the Arrow Lake architecture. It launched in Jan 2025. Clocks run from 2.4 GHz base to 5.0 GHz boost. A 18-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.5 MB per core). It addresses LPDDR5, DDR5 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA2049 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (28 lanes). Rated TDP is 28 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H scores 4,348 in single-core performance and 29,794 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,382 for overall performance, 25,453 for productivity performance, 24,213 for creator performance, 33,332 for engineering performance and 20,493 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,128 per core, 2,128 per thread and 1,064 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 2,151. Its performance index is 141, so its overall performance is 41% 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 235H scores 74,221 in integer math, 93,147 in floating-point math, 300,783 in compression, 23,017 in cryptography, 1,982 in physics simulation, 23,219 in vector SIMD, 239 in the prime sieve and 36,112 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 26% above in integer math, 103% above in floating-point math, 32% above in compression, 100% above in cryptography, 82% above in physics simulation, 50% above in vector SIMD, 257% above in the prime sieve and 59% 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 235H has 14 physical cores and runs 14 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 4 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz and boosts up to 5.00 GHz.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core Ultra 5 family, uses the Arrow Lake architecture, carries the codename Arrow Lake and is manufactured on a 3 nm process. It launched in Jan 2025.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H has 1.38 MB of L1 cache, 2 MB of L2 cache and 18 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 21.4 MB of cache, or 1.53 MB per core.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1.4 MB, L2 at 2 MB and L3 at 18 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 84% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H supports LPDDR5, DDR5 memory, addresses up to 128 GB of memory, uses 2 memory channels and runs memory at up to 6,400 MT/s. It does not support DDR4 memory.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H includes integrated graphics (Intel Arc 140T GPU) and clocks the graphics up to 2.25 GHz.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H uses the FCBGA2049 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 28 PCIe lanes.
