Power your productivity, gaming, and content creation experiences with the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF 14-Core LGA 1851 Processor . Designed for content creators and gamers, this 15th generation desktop processor fits LGA 1851 socket motherboards and delivers improved power efficiency, stability, and performance with its optimized Hybrid Core Architecture, single-thread cores, and integrated NPU. Six 4.2 GHz Performance-cores drive demanding applications while the eight low-voltage Efficient-cores handle background tasks for smooth multitasking. The built-in Intel Thread Director ensures that the two work seamlessly together by dynamically and intelligently assigning workloads to the right core at the right time.
Match the core count to your workload: 6-8 cores is plenty for gaming, while video editing benefits from 12+. Higher clock speeds generally improve gaming performance. Available from $214.99.
CPUs have zero maintenance costs but impact total system electricity usage. High-end processors draw significant power under heavy load.
Common Failure Modes
