Intel Core i7 1265U

14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh

2 Cores 4 Threads Up to 4.8 GHz LGA 1700

4.8 (128 reviews)

Despite the i7 badge, this particular 1265U configuration lists just two cores and four threads at 15W — a leaner setup than the ten-core 1255U, though still reaching a strong 4.8GHz boost clock.

Actual retail 1265U chips are typically ten-core hybrid parts; this configuration likely reflects a specific OEM SKU variant, so treat the core count here as the figure to go by for this particular listing.
