A 14-core Arrow Lake processor for mainstream LGA 1851 builds.
The Core Ultra 5 245K is a 14-core Arrow Lake chip for mainstream LGA 1851 builds, with strong multithreaded performance for its class and lower power draw than the Raptor Lake chips it replaced.
It needs an 800-series motherboard and DDR5, which makes the platform more expensive than a comparable AM5 build. Gaming performance is close to the Core i5-14600K.
