Intel Core Ultra 5 245HX Surpasses Previous Generation by 38% in Multi-Threaded PassMark Scores; Beats Desktop Core Ultra 5 245 Performance

The performance of the Arrow Lake mobile lineup is significantly outpacing its desktop counterparts. Recent benchmarks of the Core Ultra 5 245HX, one of the first of its kind, highlight this trend, showcasing remarkable performance enhancements.

Core Ultra 5 245HX Exhibits 26% and 38% Enhanced Performance in Single and Multi-Threaded Tests Compared to Core i5 14500HX

Recent evaluations reveal a notable disparity in performance uplifts between Arrow Lake-S and Arrow Lake-HX processors. The latest benchmarks indicate that while the Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs do deliver commendable multi-threaded performance increases over their 14th generation predecessors, they fall short in gaming performance and exhibit subpar single-threaded results.

When examining the Core Ultra 5 245K in relation to its predecessor, the Core i5 14600K, the upgrades are modest—recording only a 12% boost in single-threaded performance and a mere 10% enhancement in multi-threaded performance on PassMark. In stark contrast, the Arrow Lake-HX processors unveil substantial benefits that are currently underrepresented due to limited market availability since their launch earlier this year.

Thanks to insights from @x86deadandback, the inaugural benchmarks for the Core Ultra 5 245HX on PassMark are now available. These results illuminate its capabilities against the Core i5 14500HX, with scores reaching 4, 530 in single-threaded and 40, 059 in multi-threaded tests. While the 245HX lags 4% in single-threaded and 8% in multi-threaded performance compared to the Core Ultra 5 245K, it surpasses the Core Ultra 5 245, a less potent variant, which scored 4, 409 points in single-threaded and only 37, 930 in multi-threaded tests, thus affirming the superiority of the 245HX.

In terms of generational improvements, the Core Ultra 5 245HX boasts an impressive 26% increase in single-threaded performance and a remarkable 38% leap in multi-threaded performance over the i5 14500HX. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given that the i5 14500HX benefits from six additional threads. While gaming capabilities remain uncertain, preliminary scores suggest that performance should exceed that of the 14th-gen HX series. However, it’s prudent to await comprehensive gaming benchmarks, as previous generational releases, such as the Core Ultra 200S, did not surpass the 14th-gen Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs in gaming scenarios.

As additional benchmarks become available in the near future, anticipation builds around the potential of Arrow Lake-HX to further elevate performance standards in mobile computing.
