Intel Core Ultra 5 245K vs Intel Core Ultra 7 265F

Core Ultra 5 245K vs Core Ultra 7 265F comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core Ultra 7 265F performs better than the Core Ultra 5 245K. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 245K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core Ultra 7 265F has many more cores than the Core Ultra 5 245K. Indeed, the Core Ultra 7 265F has 20 cores compared to 14 cores found in the Core Ultra 5 245K. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 5 245K. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 5 245K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 265F. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 265F has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core Ultra 7 265F has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Core Ultra 5 245K. The Core Ultra 7 265F also has slightly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core Ultra 5 245K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
