Benchmarks
Measured results, not specifications. Percentages are the gap to the leading product in each test.
Blender Cycles (CPU)
Blender 4.5, Blender Open Data (CC0). Median of monster + junkshop + classroom, combined samples/min.
Blender renders 3D scenes by tracing light through them, which loads every core at once. The score measures sustained multi-core throughput, so a chip that wins here can still lose at gaming, where one or two fast cores matter more. Figures come from Blender's Open Data project, which places no restriction on reuse, and we publish the median of every submission for that chip on the same Blender version.
Verdict
Intel Core Ultra 7 265
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 is a mainstream desktop Arrow Lake-S processor with integrated graphics, suited to everyday desktop builds.
Intel Core Ultra 7 265F
8.4 / 10 Expert Rating
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is the graphics-less variant of the 265, a good value pick for builds already using a discrete GPU.
