Community Feedback

What Owners Say

Folks like how it sips power and stays cool for everyday work. The main complaint is that the performance feels underwhelming compared to older chips in the same price range.

Stays cool in small cases
Handles everyday tasks with ease

Cons

Only works with new motherboards
Weak integrated graphics for gaming
Not much faster than cheaper models

Verdict

Our verdict on the Core Ultra 5 245T

A midrange Arrow Lake CPU that trades top-end speed for excellent power efficiency in a mainstream package.

Get it if you want a low-power desktop CPU that handles daily tasks and light work without a fuss. Skip it if you need high multi-core performance for rendering or heavy gaming.
