F SERIES / TRAY

Discrete GPU & Cooler Required

The F model has no integrated graphics and needs a discrete GPU. The TRAY listing does not include a cooler.

02 / PROCESSOR USE CASES

QUAD CPU CAPABILITY MATRIX

Typical Core Ultra 5 230F use cases on compatible platforms, not measured FPS or synthetic benchmark promises.

AI NPU

Local AI Acceleration

Intel AI Boost accelerates compatible local AI tasks up to 13 TOPS INT8; real-world performance depends on software.

GAMING

Gaming PC Builds

Pair with a discrete graphics card and DDR5 memory; game FPS varies with GPU, settings and the rest of the system.

PRODUCTIVITY

Work & Multitasking

Six Performance-cores and four Efficient-cores balance foreground work and background tasks.

CREATION

Content Creation

Designed for productive desktop workflows; use a discrete GPU for display output and graphics acceleration.

The Intel AI Boost NPU rating of up to 13 TOPS refers to peak INT8 operations, not guaranteed performance across all AI applications. Gaming FPS depends on the full configuration.
