The Core Ultra 5 245K is Intel's mid-range Arrow Lake desktop CPU. It pairs 14 cores (6 performance, 8 efficient) with a dedicated NPU rated at 36 TOPS, so AI features like background removal and auto-framing run without leaning on the CPU or GPU. It suits gamers and creators building a new LGA1851 DDR5 system who want strong multi-core work and AI acceleration without flagship pricing. Against the Core i5-14600K it trades some gaming headroom for much lower power draw and a real NPU; reviewers note it needs a new motherboard and fast DDR5 to shine.
