VERDICT
Recommended Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 245K
If you already leaned Core™ i5 processor 14600K, this margin alone should not flip you. Match your cooling and board budget to 24 MB L3 cache, 14 / 14, up to 5.2 GHz. If AI Capability is your main lane, Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 245K’s ~11% index lead is the actionable signal. Core™ i5 processor 14600K still has a case in Efficiency Index, Gaming Index—if that is your priority, ignore the total. Stack AI Capability, +11%, about +7% in Value Index together—that is the everyday case for Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 245K. Platform tax: Core™ Ultra 5 Processor 245K gives up ~6% efficiency index—plan cooling and PSU accordingly. Bottom line: treat “Recommended” as sort order—your main app index is still the judge.
