Overview
SummaryThe Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is a desktop processor with a hybrid 14-core layout (6 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 14 threads, built on the Arrow Lake architecture (Compute Tile 's N3B process). It launched in Jan 2025. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 5.1 GHz boost. A 24-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.7 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1851 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (24 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Core Ultra 5 245 scores 4,379 in single-core performance and 38,455 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 12,977 for overall performance, 31,126 for productivity performance, 29,032 for creator performance, 43,022 for engineering performance and 22,751 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,747 per core, 2,747 per thread and 592 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,610. Its performance index is 161, so its overall performance is 61% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
In the individual workload tests the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 scores 91,720 in integer math, 121,648 in floating-point math, 405,202 in compression, 30,534 in cryptography, 2,559 in physics simulation, 33,541 in vector SIMD, 371 in the prime sieve and 49,613 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 56% above in integer math, 165% above in floating-point math, 78% above in compression, 166% above in cryptography, 135% above in physics simulation, 116% above in vector SIMD, 454% above in the prime sieve and 119% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.
