Intel Core Ultra 5 245K iGPU Overclocked to 3 GHz, Near GTX 1650 Performance

An overclocked Intel Core Ultra 5 245K iGPU achieves near-GTX 1650 performance, demonstrating the potential of Intel's integrated graphics.

The integrated GPU (iGPU) of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K has been overclocked to an impressive 3 GHz, showcasing the potential of Intel's integrated graphics solutions. At this frequency, the iGPU achieves performance close to that of a desktop NVIDIA GTX 1650.

This demonstrates that the Core Ultra 5 245K can offer satisfactory 1080p gaming performance at high settings with a sufficiently overclocked iGPU, even without requiring a high-end cooling solution.

Further overclocking potential might be possible with a more powerful cooler. Overclocking both the CPU and iGPU simultaneously could lead to even higher scores. In this test, the E-cores were disabled, and the CPU ran on 6 P-cores, which likely contributed to the lower temperatures.
