About the Intel Core Ultra 5 135U CPU

The Intel Core Ultra 5 135U is a 12-core (14-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q4 2023 with a suggested retail price of $332. It is part of Intel's Ultra 5 lineup, which is based on the Meteor Lake microarchitecture. The Ultra 5 135U is compatible with Intel BGA 2049 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 7 nm manufacturing process. It features the Arc Xe-LPG 64EU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core Ultra 5 135U supports DDR5 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 5 135U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 112 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core Ultra 5 135U features 12 total cores which can process 14 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 12 cores consist of 2 P-Cores and 10 E-Cores. P-Cores are designed for high-performance tasks and E-Cores are intended for efficiency and lighter tasks. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1600.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 4.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core Ultra 5 135U includes an integrated graphics solution called Arc Xe-LPG 64EU. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Core Ultra 5 135U has the 195th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 791 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 38.23% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X. Its 14,632 score and $332 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 44.07. This is the 76th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
