Notes
U-series MOBILE processor. Entry-level Core Ultra 5 U-series. Notably lower P-core base clock (1.5GHz vs 2.0GHz on 235U) and lower E-core boost (3.8GHz vs 4.1GHz). Max boost 4.8GHz. Passmark of 18,063 ranks highest of the four despite lower specs — likely OEM config variance with limited submission count. BGA soldered — laptop/embedded only. 15W TDP / 57W burst. PCIe 4.0 only. ECC not supported. No cooler.
