This is either very good for Intel or very odd for passmark assuming these numbers are even real.

Makes sense. 245 has a PL2 of 121W, whereas the HX SKU has a PL2 of 160W. Single core is a little ??? though.

Yeah, but the purported single-thread score difference is rather more perplexing, given they both allegedly boost to 5.1 GHz. That discrepancy really calls for some deeper analysis, to confirm the result is real and see what's actually going on.

I think it's most likely some inconsistency or problem related to the test setup. If it's it a real and consistent result, then it'd definitely be worth finding out what's behind it.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

That single core score is baffling. I thought they were the same die and hence have the same cache and layout?
The only difference is the 245HK GPU is 48EU vs 64EU on 245K.

with my intel T cpus. Increasing The power make the score higher, even with locked clocks... 13600T on wirar original got 18.000 pts with 100w 24.000 pts
