Core Ultra 5 245KF Spec and Price in Canada

LGA185114 cores / 14 threads

Released October 10, 2024 ·

The F-suffix version of the 245K: identical 14 cores split 6 Performance and 8 Efficient, the same 5.2GHz boost, 4.2GHz P-core base and 24MB of L3 cache, with the integrated Intel Graphics die disabled so a discrete GPU is required. Losing the iGPU is the only change among the specs recorded here versus the 245K, and it comes with a $15 discount — $304 boxed against the 245K's $319. Maximum turbo power stays at 159W, the lowest ceiling in this Core Ultra 200S batch.

Tied 39th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 4 models share this figure. Tied 51st of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 6 models share this figure.

Guides for this category

How to choose a desktop CPUA chip's socket decides what it can go into; cores, cache and TDP decide what you actually get once it's installed.How many CPU cores you actually needWhy more cores is not more speed, how gaming and productivity ask for cores differently, and why a core count alone never ranks two chips.When a CPU price is actually goodWhy a chip's list price and discount percentage tell you little, what a processor's price does over its life, and how to read its tracked history.Laptop CPU vs desktop CPUA mobile chip with the same core count is not the same processor — what the power envelope changes, and why these parts carry no price.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • Reviewers call it the most balanced option on price and performance, staying competitive with the Core i9-14900K in a number of games.
  • It is the coolest and most restrained of the tested Arrow Lake chips, with the lowest peak load and gaming power draw in the group.

Commonly criticised

  • Its 14 cores trail the higher-tier models in heavily threaded rendering, and lacking integrated graphics it needs a dedicated GPU.
