Intel's Core Ultra 5 245K "Arrow Lake" Desktop CPU has also leaked out, showcasing a big uplift over the 13600K & also matching the 13900K in single-core performance.
Intel Core Ultra 5 245K "Arrow Lake" CPU Sits Right Next To Top Core i9 "Raptor Lake" CPUs In Single-Core Benchmarks, 18% Faster Than 13600K
Intel's Arrow Lake-S "Core Ultra 200K" Desktop CPUs are launching in October and will include the trio which features Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K. All chips will feature an unlocked design and a base TDP of 125W. These chips will feature support on the LGA 1851 CPU socket utilized by Intel's 800-series motherboard such as the flagship Z890 chipset.
Today, we have our first look at the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, the successor to the Core i5-14600K. This CPU features a total of 14 cores which are configured in a 6 P-Core and 8 E-Core design. The P-Cores are based on the Lion Cove architecture while the E-Cores are based on the Skymont CPU architecture. The chip features a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of up to 5.2 GHz along with 24 MB of L3 cache and a 125W (PL1) TDP.
- Core Ultra 5 245K - 14 Cores / 14 Threads / 4.2 Base/5.2 Boost / 24 MB Cache / 125W PL1
- Core i5-14600K - 14 Cores / 20 Threads / 3.5 Base/5.3 Boost / 24 MB Cache / 125W PL1
The CPU was tested on the Colorful iGame Z890 Ultra motherboard with 32 GB of DDR5 memory.
In terms of performance, the CPU scored 2248 points in single-core and 18,354 points in the multi-core tests which puts it ahead of the Core i9-12900K in both single and multi-core performance. It's very close to the Core i9-13900K in terms of single-core performance while comparing gen-on-gen gains, the chip boasts an 18.1% uplift in multi-core but a rather lowly 2% gain in single-core pref,
The lower single-core performance could be attributed to the ES nature of this chip since it didn't boost up to its true potential as evidenced by the Geekbench 5 log. The chip fluctuated between 4.9-5.2 GHz, showcasing its unstable nature which is very common in early engineering samples. The Core Ultra 7 265KF benchmarks that just leaked out show a completely different story with single-core performance being stronger versus its predecessor while multi-core performance is more or less the same.
Geekbench 5 (Higher is Better)
The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K "Arrow Lake" CPU should be among the launch lineup which is expected in October 2024. These chips will include three unlocked SKUs, the Core Ultra 9 285K(F), Core Ultra 7 265K(F), and Core Ultra 5 245K(F). All three chips will be compatible with the latest Z890 motherboards featuring the LGA 1851 socket. You can also check out benchmarks of an ES Core Ultra 9 285K CPU over here.
