Intel Core 7 Processor 253PQE

10C/20T · 5.7 GHz · 125 W

The Core 7 253PQE is the top 10-core model of Intel's Core Series 2 edge processors (Bartlett Lake), introduced in the first quarter of 2026. Unlike Intel's hybrid desktop chips it uses only performance-cores, ten of them with Hyper-Threading, for consistent performance in industrial PCs, machine vision and edge servers. It fits LGA 1700 embedded platforms, reaches 5.7 GHz with Turbo Boost Max 3.0, and supports ECC memory and Intel vPro Enterprise alongside integrated UHD Graphics 770.
