Intel Arrow Lake: Lightning-fast performance for gamers and users

Thanks to its improved clock speeds and the now established hybrid architecture, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF offers solid performance in all areas of application. Even demanding applications run efficiently in the background on the E-Cores with the new Skymont architecture, while your favourite games are accelerated by the powerful Lion Cove P-Cores.

The Intel Arrow Lake processors are characterised by a significantly improved Instructions-per-Clock (IPC), which noticeably increases efficiency and performance. Although the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF does not have Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), this has no negative impact on overall performance. Thanks to the optimised Lion Cove P-Cores and Skymont E-Cores, the CPU handles multitasking and parallel processes effortlessly.

Next-generation technology: PCIe 5.0 support, Thunderbolt 5 and Wi-Fi 7

The hybrid architecture ensures that gaming and productivity merge seamlessly, supported by the Intel Thread Director, which efficiently distributes the workload to the appropriate cores. Both core types can be independently overclocked and undervolted for maximum control.

With support for PCI-Express 5.0, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF offers a total of 24 PCIe lanes, including 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes for graphics cards and 4 PCIe 5.0 and 4 4.0 lanes for NVMe SSDs. This configuration enables higher bandwidths and faster data transfers for the most demanding applications, whether gaming or content creation. The integrated NPU in the Intel Core Ultra processors accelerates new neural networks and AI-based applications.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF also sets new standards in connectivity: With the introduction of Thunderbolt 5, data transfers of up to 120 Gbps are possible – perfect for state-of-the-art peripherals and high-resolution displays. Thanks to support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, you can enjoy lightning-fast connections, whether for wireless peripherals or a stable internet connection.
