Notes
10-core (6P+4E) entry-level Arrow Lake. IMPORTANT: No ECC support (confirmed Intel ARK — unlike 235/245 series). L3 cache reduced to 20MB (vs 24MB on 235/245). 4 fewer E-cores than 235 gives noticeably lower multi-threaded throughput. Good value for budget builds with iGPU. ECC=false is intentional and confirmed.
