The Intel Core Ultra 3 205T is a desktop-class processor built for the LGA 1851 socket, fabricated on a 3 nm process node and operating within a 57W Thermal Design Power envelope. It includes integrated graphics and fully supports 64-bit computing, while its maximum rated temperature reaches 105 °C. The chip also features PCIe 5.0 connectivity, enabling compatibility with current-generation expansion hardware.
The processor uses big.LITTLE technology to arrange its eight threads across two groups of four cores, running at 2.7 GHz and 2.4 GHz respectively, with a turbo clock speed reaching 4.9 GHz via Turbo Boost version 2. It carries a clock multiplier of 27 and does not feature an unlocked multiplier, meaning clock adjustments are fixed. A 16 MB L2 cache supports the cores in managing frequently accessed data efficiently.
The integrated graphics unit has a base clock of 300 MHz and can boost up to 1800 MHz, with support for up to four displays simultaneously. It is compatible with DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, and OpenCL 3, covering a broad range of graphics and compute workloads handled directly by the processor.
The processor supports DDR5 memory running at speeds of up to 6400 MHz across two channels, with a maximum addressable capacity of 192GB. ECC memory is not supported, which is a consideration for workloads that require error-correcting RAM.
The processor includes a broad set of instruction sets — MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2 — covering multimedia, floating-point, encryption, and vector processing operations. It also supports the NX bit, a hardware-level security feature that helps prevent certain classes of malicious code from executing in memory.
