Name: Intel Core Ultra 5 245K Processor - Desktop - 4.2 GHz - 30 TOPs - DDR5
Brand: Intel

Intel Core Ultra 5 245K Processor debuts in Q4'24 as a powerful desktop CPU designed for creators, professionals and high-end PC users.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K (Arrow Lake, stepping B0) brings a hybrid 14-core architecture with 6 performance cores and 8 efficient cores, delivering a base performance-core frequency of 4.2 GHz and a peak boost up to 5.2 GHz for demanding single-threaded workloads.

This boxed processor supports LGA 1851 (Socket V1) motherboards and up to 192 GB of DDR5 memory at up to 6400 MHz in dual-channel mode, with ECC support for workstation-class reliability. It features a 24 MB Smart Cache and operates as a 64-bit CPU with a 125 W base power and a maximum turbo power of 159 W.

AI-accelerated tasks are a standout: the CPU offers Intel AI Boost with a total processor performance of up to 30 TOPs, an NPU capable of up to 13 TOPs, and GPU performance up to 8 TOPs. It supports major AI frameworks including DirectML, OpenVINO, Windows ML, ONNX Runtime and WebNN for fast model inference on the desktop.

Integrated Intel Graphics with 4 Xe-cores runs from 300 MHz up to 1900 MHz and supports DisplayPort 2.1, eDP 1.4b and HDMI 2.1 outputs for up to 4 displays, DirectX 12.0 and OpenGL 4.5 compatibility. For expansion it provides up to 24 PCIe lanes (PCIe 4.0/5.0) and latest platform features like Thunderbolt 4 and Intel vPro eligibility.

Security and manageability are comprehensive, with Intel features such as AES-NI, CET, Intel® Hardware Shield eligibility, Intel® TDT, Boot Guard, Speed Shift and a wide suite of virtualization and manageability technologies suited for enterprise and workstation deployments.

Ideal use cases include content creation, AI model inference at the edge, multitasking workstations, and high-performance desktop computing where fast single-thread performance and on-chip AI acceleration matter.
