Performance tests of the Core Ultra 5 230F of 65 w They show their great performance in games in front of a 245K.
Intel Core Ultra 5 230F Equate 245K performance in games
As we know, the model Core Ultra 245k It is a piece of 14 nuclei With a 125 W TDP. However, the Core Ultra 5 230F of 10 nuclei and a 65 W TDP It seems to have a very similar game performance consuming virtually half of power.
He Core Ultra 5 230F It is a piece of 10 nuclei in a configuration of 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores based on architecture Arrow Lake. The maximum processor clock speed is 5 GHz as a turbo watch for performance nuclei and 4.4 GHz for efficiency nuclei. The 230F would be using silicon A0 (the 6p + 8e matrix), which would be superior to those used by the B0 variants (the 8p + 16E matrix).
Regarding cache memory configuration, The 230F has 22 MB of Cache L2 and 24 MB of Cache L3 for a total of 46 MBan interesting improvement compared to 33.5 MB of an i5-14490F of the Raptor Lake generation.

Performance tests
The test system used a motherboard MSI MAG B860M MORTAR WIFI With Socket LGA 1851 and the motherboard was also used ASUS ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI For the LGA1700 socket. This was combined with a memory of 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL36 by Corsair and an RTX 4090 Founders Edition graphics card.
The benchmarks with the tools Y-Cruncher, 7-Zip and 3DMark, Coding, Blender, V-Ray and Cinebnch are showing us a performance where 230F is almost 8% faster than the Core I5-14490F with a single nucleus and 20.9% in multinuk.
Meanwhile, In games the differences vary between 0 and 6% When compared to a 245kwhich is a model with the unlocked multiplier and with a 125W TDP.
Therefore, what we can deduce is that if we want to save costs in the assembly of a gaming PC, perhaps the Core Ultra 5 230F model is a much more profitable option than a 245K, if the price differences are very large between both. We will keep you informed.
