Verdict: Efficient CPU for productivity

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K presents itself in our test as a versatile and powerful processor that offers strong performance for both gaming and creative applications.

With its hybrid architecture, consisting of powerful Lion Cove Performance cores (P-cores) and Skymont Efficiency cores (E-cores), the chip offers an excellent balance between computing power and energy efficiency.

The latter has been significantly improved compared to the previous model, which is an important step in order not to completely lose touch with AMD's offerings.

In terms of performance, the Core Ultra 5 245K is particularly impressive in the pure CPU performance tests. However, its performance in gaming scenarios is slightly worse than that of the older Intel Core i5-14600K.

Nevertheless, the performance offered is sufficient to run all modern games smoothly. In terms of connectivity, the Core Ultra 5 245K supports current standards such as PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 RAM, which ensures fast data transfer and future-proofing.

This makes it possible to equip the system with the latest SSDs and graphics cards, which is particularly beneficial for gamers and creative professionals.

As an innovation, Intel is introducing a new architecture based on the Socket LGA 1851. This means that a simple CPU upgrade from the previous generation is, therefore, not possible.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K proves to be an economical all-rounder in the mid-range performance segment. With its solid gaming performance, good multitasking capabilities, and support for modern technologies such as an NPU, it is an excellent choice for users looking for a good balance between price and performance. The processor's energy efficiency is particularly noteworthy.

Intel Arrow Lake-S processors. (Image Source: Intel)

The Arrow Lake-S lineup represents the next generation of Intel desktop processors and are based on the new LGA 1851 socket. This means that not only the Raptor Lake models, but also the LGA 1700 socket introduced three years ago, are being retired.

The new Arrow Lake S processors are based on a hybrid architecture with a combination of powerful Performance cores (P-cores) and somewhat weaker Efficiency cores (E-cores). This hybrid architecture, which was first introduced in Alder Lake, is further optimized in Arrow Lake to ultimately enable better energy efficiency.

With Arrow Lake-S, Intel is focusing on a significant increase in performance in both the single and multi-core areas. In this review, we will take a step-by-step look at exactly what this means, as not all applications will benefit from the new architecture. Support for DDR4 RAM has been completely removed, which means that all LGA 1851 motherboards now use DDR5 RAM.

In addition, the integrated graphics unit has been improved and is now based on the Intel Xe architecture. This could provide a noticeable performance boost, especially in small systems that do not have space for a dedicated graphics card.

The Asus TUF Gaming Z890-PLUS Wi-Fi

Asus TUF Gaming Z890-PLUS Wi-Fi: Connections (Image Source: Asus)

As already mentioned, all Arrow Lake-S processors use a new socket, which means that a new chipset has also been introduced. Asus provided us with the TUF Gaming Z890-PLUS Wi-Fi motherboard for this test.

The Z890 chipset is soldered onto the motherboard, which means that a total of 48 PCIe lanes are available with the processor.

The Asus TUF Gaming Z890-PLUS Wi-Fi is part of the TUF series from Asus. The predominantly black mainboard is enhanced with a few silver accents, although there are no illuminated elements on the front.

RGB lighting is not completely absent, however, as there are a few LEDs on the rear, which also light up when the system is not switched on. However, this can be turned off in the BIOS.

The Asus TUF Gaming Z890-PLUS Wi-Fi supports DDR5 RAM with high clock rates of up to 8,600 MT/s and beyond. Up to 192 GB are possible when all four RAM slots are fully loaded. However, attention must be paid to compatibility, so it is worth checking the QVL (Qualified Vendor List) of the corresponding motherboard in advance.

The motherboard offers a wide range of connections, including several USB 3 ports and a USB 4.0 port. There is also a 2.5G LAN for the wired network connection, although the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard is offered for the wireless network.

There are various heatsinks across the entire board, which on the one hand characterize the look but are primarily intended to dissipate heat. One special feature worth mentioning is that at least the SSD heatsink above the graphics card slot can be removed quickly and without tools.

The graphics card can also be unlocked and removed from the slot without any problems using the Q-release. Unfortunately, this tool-free disassembly is not complete, as the heatsink in the lower area is screwed on.

The Asus TUF Gaming Z890-PLUS Wi-Fi is listed on Amazon for €378 and on Amazon US for $320. This means that the manufacturer is currently charging almost €140 more than you would currently have to pay for the Asus TUF Gaming Z790-Plus Wi-Fi.

Test conditions

We carried out all performance tests with the Ultimate Performance energy profile. We also selected the Intel Default Settings in the BIOS.

This means that the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K operates within the specifications provided by the manufacturer. We used a custom loop water cooling system as the cooling unit, which was already used in the same form for previous CPU performance tests.

Processor benchmarks

Let's now take a look at the performance of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K in the raw CPU benchmarks. It is immediately apparent that the new Arrow Lake-S CPU cannot set itself apart from its predecessor.

In the performance comparison, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K ranks on par with the Intel Core i5-14600K. Both processors have 14 physical computing units, which are divided into 6 P and 8 E cores. However, Intel has completely dispensed with hyperthreading in its latest processors.

Nevertheless, Intel manages to achieve identical performance in the average CPU performance comparison compared to the Intel Core i5-14600K can be achieved. If we go back even further on the timeline, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K can even compete with the former flagship from 2021, the Intel Core i9-12900K.

In the duel with AMD, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K achieves the performance of an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, which is an 8C/16T CPU.

Basically, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K delivers impressive performance, which, with a power consumption of 159 W, is lower than the Core i5 models of previous generations. This means that the processor not only works much more effectively, but is also easier to cool.

NPU power

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K is equipped with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which can calculate AI applications particularly efficiently as a separate part of the processor.

The core is the same NPU that is already used in the Meteor Lake processors of laptops and mini PCs with a specified 13 TOPS computing power. Nevertheless, the Core Ultra 5 245K can deliver more performance than the mobile offshoots from the same company.

It remains to be seen to what extent the integration of NPUs will become more important in the future. However, in a performance comparison with modern graphics cards, the processors' NPUs stand no chance.

Game benchmarks

Unfortunately, the performance gains we saw in the CPU benchmarks cannot be translated into better gaming performance. In short: The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K is significantly slower than an Intel Core i5-14600K.

But first things first: We once divided the gaming benchmarks into two sections. The graphics card used was the Palit GeForce RTX 4090 GameRock OC for both.

In the first comparison, we look at the performance in the CPU limit. Here, our test sample only ranks in the bottom third and duels with an Intel Core i7-12700. The Core Ultra 5 245K lacks exactly 20 percent compared to the Intel Core i5-14600K. This is a sobering result, which we had not expected.

AMD's current top model in the gaming sector delivers almost 50% more performance. However, these settings are not representative and do not reflect everyday use.

Secondly, we let all processors compete in 2160p resolution with maximum details. All representatives are closer together, which was to be expected, as the graphics card is now the decisive factor, which brings us towards the GPU limit.

Nevertheless, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K manages to place itself ahead of its in-house opponent, the Intel Core i5-14600K. A performance deficit of seven percent on average remains.

Energy requirement

Intel has taken a big step forward in terms of energy consumption. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K was able to impress in the mid-range with better CPU performance, and on top of that we see that significantly less energy is required.

However, AMD shows that it can do even better. We do not see the excessive power consumption of the previous CPU generations in the Core Ultra 5 245K. The power limit is 159 W and is set as PL1 and PL2, which means that the CPU can call up the maximum performance even under sustained load.

The limit is occasionally exceeded, as can be seen from the graph. In the test, we saw occasional peaks of up to 173 W. The moderate power consumption under full load means that the Core Ultra 5 245K can be cooled well and does not require extreme cooling solutions. A cooler with a TDP specification of 200 W should be sufficient in most cases to keep the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K in check.

The temperatures are always within the green range. If all limits are deactivated in the BIOS, the processor's power consumption does not increase noticeably.

The temperatures are also at a similar level to the activated Intel default settings, which serve as the basis for our performance tests. Due to the significantly lower power consumption, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K can achieve a large lead over the Intel Core i5-14600K in the efficiency comparison.
