Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF 14-core LGA1700
The 14-core hybrid architecture with 6 performance cores boosting to 5.2GHz delivers strong single-threaded speed for gaming and responsive multitasking. Its unlocked multiplier and PCIe 5.0 support offer a clear upgrade path for builders wanting modern connectivity without paying for an integrated GPU. This processor is best for budget-conscious gamers and overclockers who already own a discrete graphics card and need high frame rates at 1080p.
