Notes
F-series: no integrated graphics, requires discrete GPU, otherwise identical to 225. IMPORTANT: No ECC support (confirmed Intel ARK). 20MB L3 (not 24MB). Notebookcheck May 2025 review confirms 65W/121W power, comparable single-core to 235 but ~28% lower multi-thread (10 vs 14 cores). Budget-friendly paired with a dedicated GPU.
