Here the Performance-cores start fast and turbo to 5.2GHz, which makes for consistently responsive gaming and application performance rather than bursty. Eight efficiency cores take on background load, and Xe graphics with four cores mean the machine posts and displays without a card. The unlocked multiplier opens up tuning on a Z890 board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFourteen cores, fourteen threads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore Ultra has no Hyper-Threading, so the thread count matches the core count. For gaming that's a non-issue; for heavily threaded rendering and encoding it means comparing against AMD's thread counts carefully rather than assuming parity. Power-wise it's much more reasonable than the old i9s — 159W maximum turbo, so a good tower air cooler is sufficient rather than a mandatory AIO. No cooler is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.2GHz base and 5.2GHz turbo on six Performance-cores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlocked multiplier for overclocking on Z-series boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel Graphics with 4 Xe-cores up to 1.9GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel AI Boost NPU — 13 TOPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDDR5 up to 6400 MT\/s, max 256GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Intel Core Ultra 5 245K (BX80768245K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Cores: 14 (6 Performance-cores + 8 Efficient-cores)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreads: 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP-core Base Frequency: 4.2 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Turbo Frequency: 5.2 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCache: 24 MB Intel Smart Cache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessor Base Power: 125 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Turbo Power: 159 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: FCLGA1851\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: DDR5 up to 6400 MT\/s, 2 channels, max 256 GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Graphics: Intel Graphics, 4 Xe-cores, up to 1.9 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPU: Intel AI Boost, 13 TOPS (Int8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCI Express: PCIe 5.0 and 4.0, up to 24 lanes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBundled Cooler: Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntel Core Ultra 5 245K processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooler sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Intel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore Ultra brought power draw back under control after the 14th-gen i9s, without giving up clock speed.
