Core Ultra 5 245K Spec and Price in Spain

LGA185114 cores / 14 threads

Released October 10, 2024 ·

Intel's mid-tier Arrow Lake part: 14 cores split 6 Performance and 8 Efficient reach a 5.2GHz boost from a notably higher 4.2GHz P-core base, with 24MB of L3 cache — the same core layout and L3 as the outgoing 14600K, though L2 cache grows to 26MB from that chip's 20MB. Dropping Hyper-Threading cuts threads to 14 from that chip's 20, while maximum turbo power falls to 159W from 181W, a lighter cooling load. At $319 boxed, it undercuts the 14600K's $329 by $10, and integrated Intel Graphics covers a fallback display.

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 2 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • A modern architecture with good thermal performance, advanced memory and expansion support, and good productivity performance.
  • Owners report it is fast and power-efficient, running cool even under sustained loads.
  • It is described as a big upgrade from much older builds, handling gaming, browsing and server-style workloads well.
  • Several owners say firmware updates since launch have noticeably improved its performance.

Commonly criticised

  • Inconsistent gaming performance, an expensive upgrade path, and a weak price-to-performance ratio.
  • Some owners say the leap from recent 12th to 14th generation chips is small and suggest waiting.
  • One owner reports the CPU arrived damaged because of inadequate packaging.
