This review was made possible with review samples provided by Intel, Arctic, ASRock, and Teamgroup.
Intel might have moved to a compact 3nm process node, but we get more contacts with LGA1851.
The companies did not see the contents of the review before publishing.
Thankfully, many CPU coolers designed for LGA1700 are still compatible with LGA1851.
Otherwise, the Teamgroup RAM and Arctic CPU cooler performed flawlessly and are easily recommended.
The Core Ultra 245K demonstrates a decent generational leap over the 14600K in single-core and multi-core performance.

AMD’s Ryzen 7 9700X is a close rival with a similar demand for mandatory DDR5 RAM.
Intel has my heart for making it much easier to clean thermal paste from its tall and skinny IHS.
