Better productivity and performance
In statistics, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265U offers superior comparative evaluation in a range of Cinebench, Geekbench and Procyon on their 165u counterpart. In particular, 265U offers an increase of up to 1.30x in performance for Procyon video edition.
As for 265h over 165h, statistics are equally impressive. Offering an increase of 1.01xy 1.60x in performance at the same reference points. Simulating the potential increases in the performance that an update could provide, Intel also compared the 265h with an Intel Core i7-1185g7 of 4 years, and returned an improvement of 2.84x at the reference point of Cinebench 2024 and an improvement of 2.42x for the Multicoro Geekbench 6.3 test.

Intel insured supply chain
Intel has also announced that the selected products of Intel Core Ultra Series 2 will benefit from the insured supply chain, which means that certain manufacturers can provide a system in chip (SOC) that shows a digitally pointing chain in the silicon manufacturing process, allowing greater control over the acquisition for governments and the hands of sensitive data. This program will be available in the second half of 2025.
“Intel has long been a leader in safe, transparent and reliable semiconductor manufacturing, and the insured Intel supply chain program is another step forward to strengthen the confidence in technology that feeds the critical operations of our clients,” said Jennifer Larson, general manager, commercial client segments, customer computer group, Intel.
