The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 pairs a modern 14-core Arrow Lake desktop processor with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, a Blackwell 2.0 GPU. This combination lands in the 54th percentile overall among all builds, representing a solid mid-range desktop platform. However, the data reveals a significant performance imbalance: the CPU sits in the 90th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits in only the 18th percentile among all GPUs. This page analyzes the benchmark scores, estimated gaming performance, and workload suitability of this specific pairing.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is a desktop processor built on Arrow Lake-S architecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process by TSMC. It packs 14 cores and 14 threads, meaning it lacks simultaneous multithreading; each core handles a single thread. The base clock runs at 3.50 GHz, boosting up to 5.10 GHz under load. The chip carries 24 MB of shared L3 cache, with 192 KB of L1 and 3 MB of L2 per core. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory, offering 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth, and includes ECC memory support. The CPU connects via Intel Socket 1851 and provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU.

In Cinebench testing, the CPU scores 32,924 in R23 multi-core and 4,648 in R23 single-core. The R20 scores are 13,828 multi-core and 1,952 single-core, while R15 results show 3,318 multi-core and 468 single-core. These numbers indicate a strong multi-threaded performer for its class. The average benchmark score of 48,995 places it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs. This means it outperforms roughly 90% of all processors in the database.

PassMark results reinforce the CPU's capabilities. The multi-thread score is 38,706, with a single-thread score of 4,394. Floating-point math hits 120,548, integer math reaches 91,187, and extended instructions score 33,304. Data compression scores 400,942, while data encryption hits 30,236. The CPU handles random string sorting at 49,140 and physics calculations at 2,569. The find prime numbers score of 365 is notably lower, but this is a specific workload test.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the Ultra 5 245 is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, which scores 49,196 (a 0.4% difference). It also sits close to the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 at 49,228 (0.5% difference) and the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H at 48,698 (0.6% difference). The closest Intel mainstream competitor is the Core i5-14600K at 48,618, with the Ultra 5 245 being 0.8% faster. This places the CPU in a competitive spot against both AMD's mainstream and Intel's previous-generation parts.

For real workloads, the 90th percentile ranking means this CPU can handle heavy multi-threaded tasks like video encoding, 3D rendering, and software compilation without becoming the primary bottleneck. The single-core performance, evidenced by the R23 score of 4,648, ensures snappy responsiveness in everyday applications and games that rely on a few fast cores. The 14 threads are sufficient for modern productivity workloads, though users migrating from high-thread-count CPUs may notice fewer concurrent tasks handled at once.

Gaming Performance

There are no measured FPS rows for this exact CPU and GPU combination in the FACT PACK. The database contains no measuredFps data for this pairing, so no specific frame rates by game or resolution can be cited. All gaming performance discussed here is estimated from the benchmark scores of the individual components.

The CPU's 90th percentile ranking suggests it will not limit frame rates in most gaming scenarios. The strong single-core score of 4,648 in Cinebench R23 indicates good gaming responsiveness, as most games rely heavily on single-thread performance for game logic and physics. The 14 cores provide ample headroom for background tasks while gaming, such as streaming software or Discord.

The GPU, however, presents a more complex picture. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,690 places it in the 18th percentile of all GPUs. This is a low ranking, and its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, GeForce GT 1030, and GT 440 — all older or entry-level parts. The RTX 5070 SUPER is within 1.7% of the GT 440's score of 2,645, which is a concerning comparison. This suggests that at ultra settings, the GPU will be the limiting factor in most games.

At 1080p ultra settings, the CPU could push high frame rates in esports titles, but the GPU may hold back performance in graphically demanding AAA games. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU's low percentile ranking will dominate, and frame rates will likely be modest. The estimated FPS figures are not available, but based on the GPU's 18th percentile position, users should expect low to medium settings for playable frame rates at higher resolutions, or lower frame rates at ultra settings. This pairing is not ideal for high-refresh gaming at maximum quality.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's average benchmark score is 48,995, placing it in the 90th percentile among all CPUs. The GPU's average benchmark score is 2,690, placing it in the 18th percentile among all GPUs. The combined percentile for this build is 54.

The combined picture shows a stark imbalance. The CPU is a top-tier performer, far above the median CPU. The GPU is a bottom-quintile performer, far below the median GPU. The combined percentile of 54 reflects this disparity — it sits slightly above the middle of all builds, dragged down by the weak GPU score.

The CPU's nearest rival comparisons show it is competitive. It is 0.4% slower than the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, 0.5% slower than the AMD Ryzen 9 7900, 0.6% faster than the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H, and 0.8% faster than the Intel Core i5-14600K. These deltas are all within 1%, indicating that the Ultra 5 245 performs essentially at the same level as these established parts.

The GPU's rival comparisons are less flattering. It is 1.0% faster than the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, 1.1% faster than the GeForce GT 1030, 1.1% faster than the Intel Arc Pro B50, and 1.7% faster than the GeForce GT 440. These are all low-end or legacy GPUs, and the RTX 5070 SUPER only marginally outperforms them. This data suggests the GPU is not competitive with modern mid-range or high-end graphics cards.

The overall picture is that this build's CPU is a strong asset, while the GPU is a significant weakness. Users relying on CPU-intensive tasks like rendering or compiling will see good performance. Users relying on GPU-intensive tasks like gaming or GPU rendering will be disappointed by the results.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data clearly indicates that the GPU is the bottleneck for most workloads. The CPU's 90th percentile ranking versus the GPU's 18th percentile ranking creates a massive disparity. In any workload that uses both components — primarily gaming — the GPU will reach its limits long before the CPU does.

For gaming, the GPU's low score means frame rates will be limited by graphics processing. The CPU has ample headroom to feed frames, but the GPU cannot keep up. This is evidenced by the GPU's score being only 1.7% above the GeForce GT 440, a card from a much older generation. The CPU's 90th percentile ensures it is not the limiting factor in gaming.

For CPU-bound workloads like video encoding, 3D rendering, or data compression, the CPU will be the primary performer. The GPU's role is minimal in these tasks, so the bottleneck shifts. In these scenarios, the build performs well because the CPU is strong. The PassMark data compression score of 400,942 and floating-point math score of 120,548 indicate robust CPU throughput.

The FPS scaling, though unmeasured, can be inferred from the scores. At lower resolutions like 1080p, the CPU can push high frame rates, but the GPU will cap them at a level consistent with its 18th percentile ranking. At higher resolutions, the GPU's workload increases, and its low performance becomes even more pronounced. The balance is heavily skewed toward the CPU, making this build suitable for productivity but poor for gaming.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, using the GB205 chip. It is manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC, with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die. The GPU has 6,400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation pipelines. It includes 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores for ray tracing and AI acceleration.

The memory subsystem uses 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, providing 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, with an effective speed of 28 Gbps. The base clock is 2325 MHz, boosting to 2512 MHz. The pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is 32.15 TFLOPS, with FP16 also at 32.15 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio).

The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. It connects via PCIe 5.0 x16 and uses a single 16-pin power connector. The card is dual-slot, measuring 245 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. It has a TDP of 275 W and offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.

Despite these modern specifications, the benchmark score is poor. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,690 places it in the 18th percentile. This is a low score for a card with such hardware. The nearest rivals are all older or entry-level GPUs, which indicates that the RTX 5070 SUPER underperforms relative to its specifications. The RT and tensor cores are present but do not translate into competitive benchmark results.

For rendering, the FP32 performance of 32.15 TFLOPS is substantial on paper, but the benchmark score suggests real-world performance is far lower. The 18 GB of VRAM is generous, but the low score implies the GPU struggles with complex scenes. The memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s is decent, but again, the benchmark data shows it does not deliver expected results. Users needing GPU acceleration for rendering should look at the low percentile and understand that this card will not perform like a typical 50-series product.

The GPU's low percentile does not hinder these tasks. However, gamers at any resolution above 1080p will be disappointed. The GPU's 18th percentile means it cannot deliver high frame rates at ultra settings, so gamers should look elsewhere.

The build is not suitable for GPU-intensive rendering or machine learning workloads that rely on CUDA cores. The low GPU score limits these applications. Users in these fields should consider a different GPU pairing.

Build Overview

This is a desktop build pairing the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER. The CPU is a 14-core, 14-thread Arrow Lake processor with a 5.10 GHz boost clock and a 90th percentile ranking. The GPU is a Blackwell 2.0 part with 18 GB GDDR7 memory, but it ranks only in the 18th percentile.

The overall tier of this build, based on the combined percentile of 54, is mid-range. The CPU is a high-tier component, while the GPU is a low-tier component. This mismatch defines the build's character: it excels at CPU-heavy tasks and underperforms in GPU-heavy tasks. The pairing is unusual, as the GPU's low benchmark score is unexpected for a 50-series product, making this a niche configuration.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: This scenario is not recommended. The GPU's 18th percentile ranking will limit frame rates, and the estimated FPS at ultra settings is low. The CPU can push high frame rates, but the GPU cannot keep up, resulting in a poor gaming experience.

Streaming: Streaming relies on both CPU and GPU. The CPU's 90th percentile handles encoding well, but the GPU's low score means game performance will suffer. Streamers playing demanding titles will see low frame rates, making this a weak choice for streaming.

Video editing: Video editing is primarily CPU-bound. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32,924 and PassMark floating-point math score of 120,548 indicate strong performance for rendering timelines and applying effects. The GPU's 18 GB VRAM can assist with previews, but the low score limits GPU-accelerated effects. This is a viable scenario.

3D rendering: CPU-based 3D rendering will perform well, given the CPU's high percentile. The 14 cores handle ray tracing in CPU renderers effectively. GPU-based rendering, however, will be slow due to the GPU's low benchmark score. Users should rely on CPU renderers with this build.

Software development: This is a strong scenario. The CPU's single-thread score of 4,648 speeds up compilation and code analysis. The multi-thread score of 38,706 handles parallel builds. The GPU is irrelevant for most development tasks, making this build a good choice for developers.

Student and office work: The CPU's responsiveness and the GPU's 18 GB VRAM handle general productivity tasks with ease. Spreadsheets, word processing, web browsing, and light photo editing run smoothly. The low GPU percentile does not affect these workloads, making this a practical, functional build for daily use.
