Intel Core Ultra 200K series CPUs show up on Geekbench alongside Z890 motherboards

With the newly found Geekbench results, we've gained fresh insight into the performance of the Core Ultra 7 265KF and the Core Ultra 5 245K. Both processors were tested with unreleased Z890 motherboards. 

It's important to note that the two findings are based on different Geekbench versions (5 and 6), making direct comparisons challenging. Still, we can compare the results with those of older processors. The Core Ultra 5 was tested with a Colorful iGame Z890 Ultra and the Core Ultra 7 was tested with a Gigabyte Z890 Aero G. Both systems had 32GB of memory (unspecified speeds).

Based on the available information, the 245K looks to outperform the Core i5-14600K by 11% in single-core tests and by 4% in multi-core tests. On the other hand, the Core Ultra 7 265KF is projected to outperform the Core i9-14900K in single-core testing and perform similarly in multi-core tests to the Core i7-14700KF and the Ryzen 9 7950X.

It's also worth mentioning that while the Core Ultra 7 265KF may lag behind AMD's newest 9700X in single-core tests, it is expected to deliver better multi-core performance. However, without the complete system specifications (memory, overclocked or not, etc), it's too soon to draw conclusions.

The Core Ultra 7 265KF uses a 20-core configuration comprising 8 Lion Cove P-Cores without hyperthreading and 12 Skymont E-Cores. Based on the latest benchmark entry, the maximum clock speed is reported to be 5.5GHz. On the other hand, the Core Ultra 5 245K CPU packs 14 cores, including 6 Lion Cove and 8 Skymont cores. The former boosted up to 5,141MHz.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
