The Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF is an Arrow Lake desktop processor for Socket LGA 1851 motherboards. It suits mid-range gaming and everyday desktop builds that use a dedicated graphics card, and this tray version is supplied as the processor only.

It has 14 cores (6 Performance-cores + 8 Efficient-cores) and 14 threads, running from 3.60GHz up to a maximum turbo frequency of 5.20GHz, with 24MB of Intel Smart Cache and a 125W thermal design power. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory up to DDR5 6400 and both PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0. As an F-series model it has no integrated graphics, so a dedicated graphics card is needed for display output.
