Notes
14-core (6P+8E) mainstream non-K Arrow Lake with 3 Xe-core iGPU (one fewer Xe-core than 245-series). 65W TDP makes it easy to cool. Notebookcheck review (May 2025) confirmed solid efficiency; slightly lower clocks than 245. Good B860 board pairing. Cooler included. Note: iGPU has 3 Xe-cores vs 4 on 245/245K series.
