Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF 14-Core 5.2GHz LGA 1851 Desktop Processor

Welcome to the Next Generation of PC Performance

This is the new standard. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF processor is built from the ground up to power the next generation of high-performance gaming and creator PCs. It features Intel’s new hybrid architecture with 6 Performance-cores (P-cores) for raw speed and 8 Efficient-cores (E-cores) to handle all your background tasks.

Built for the Enthusiast Gamer

This is a “KF” processor, which means it’s built for those who demand the best.

• Unlocked for Overclocking: The unlocked multiplier gives you (or your Compufi technician) the freedom to push its performance even further.
• 5.2GHz Max Turbo: Experience blistering-fast single-core speeds that boost your frame rates in competitive eSports and AAA titles.
• 14 Cores, 14 Threads: A true multitasking beast, this CPU can handle your game, your stream (OBS), and your Discord all at the same time without a hiccup.

The New LGA 1851 Platform

This processor is the heart of a brand-new, future-proof build. It’s designed for the new LGA 1851 socket and 800-series motherboards, unlocking support for next-generation technologies like DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.

What It’s Good For

• High-FPS Gaming: The #1 use. The high clock speed (5.2GHz) and 6 P-cores are for high frame rates.
• Gaming & Streaming: The 8 E-cores are perfect for running background tasks like OBS, Discord, or Spotify without lagging the game.
• Productivity Powerhouse: 14 cores is fantastic for Adobe Premiere, Blender, or coding.
• New Enthusiast Builds: It’s the perfect “start” for a brand-new, future-proof PC.

Good to Knows (CRITICAL INFO – PLEASE READ)

CRITICAL INFO 1: NO CPU COOLER INCLUDED

This is a “KF” (WOF) processor. It does NOT come with a CPU cooler in the box. You must purchase a separate, high-performance cooler.

• Compufi Recommendation: To get the full performance of this 159W chip, we strongly recommend at least a 240mm (or 360mm) AIO liquid cooler or a high-end, dual-tower air cooler.

CRITICAL INFO 2: NO INTEGRATED GRAPHICS

The “F” in “KF” means this processor does NOT have built-in graphics. You must install a separate, dedicated graphics card (GPU) for your computer to display an image.

CRITICAL INFO 3: NEW LGA 1851 SOCKET

This is a brand-new CPU socket. It is NOT compatible with older LGA 1700 or 1200 motherboards. It requires a new Intel 800-series chipset motherboard (e.g., Z890, B860).
