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
