Intel Core Ultra 5 245

Released Jan 13, 2025$270 launch priceDesktop Processor

Intel's mainstream non-K Arrow Lake-S chip: 14 cores (6 P-cores, 8 E-cores) on LGA1851 with a 65 W base rating, a locked multiplier, and a bundled cooler, positioned as an OEM and pre-built alternative to the unlocked Core Ultra 5 245K.

Pros

  • 14 cores / 14 threads (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) for mid-range multitasking and content creation
  • 24 MB L3 and 26 MB L2 cache, inherited from the unlocked Core Ultra 5 245K
  • Includes Intel's bundled cooler in the box, unlike the K-series equivalent
  • DDR5-6400 memory and PCIe 5.0 support on the current LGA1851 platform
  • 65 W base power rating suits compact or OEM desktop builds better than the 125 W-rated 245K

Cons

  • Locked multiplier means no core overclocking versus the 245K
  • 121 W maximum turbo power still needs adequate cooling despite the 65 W base rating
  • Mostly available through OEM system integrators rather than boxed retail
  • Integrated graphics only cover basic display output, not gaming
