Intel Stock Dips Despite Strong Early Reviews for Core Ultra 3 205 Processor
Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) shares fell over 2% in Wednesday afternoon trading, defying positive early reviews of its new Core Ultra 3 205 processor. Benchmark tests show the chip outperforming previous-generation models like the Core i3-14100 and Core i5-14400, with clock speeds ranging between 4.4 GHz and 4.9 GHz.
The entry-level processor demonstrates surprising capability, handling 8K YouTube videos and multitasking with low CPU usage. However, reviewers caution against using Intel's stock heatsink, suggesting third-party cooling solutions for optimal performance.
