Compared with the current Core Ultra 5 245K, the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus has a significant upgrade. The core configuration has been upgraded from 6 P cores + 8 E cores to 6 P cores + 12 E cores. It is equipped with three sets of "Skymont" energy-efficient core clusters; the third-level cache has also increased from 24MB. Increased to 30MB, the frequency is also slightly increased, and the performance core turbo frequency reaches a maximum of 5.30GHz, which is 100MHz higher than 245K.
The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is essentially a down-clocked version of the Core Ultra 9 285K, enabling the full specifications of the Arrow Lake-S chip: 8 performance cores, 16 energy-efficiency cores, and all 36MB of L3 cache, but the frequency is similar to the Core Ultra 7 265K. The maximum core frequency of the performance core is 5.50GHz, which is lower than the 5.70GHz of the 285K.
After CES 2026, it was reported that Intel’s Core Ultra 200 Plus Arrow Lake Refresh processor series, which has been exposed many times, is expected to be launched in March-April. Last weekend, the whistleblower HXL/9550pro gave a more specific time: Intel will lift the important review ban at 6 a.m. Pacific time on March 23, and the review content of the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, Ultra 5 250K, and Ultra 5 250KF desktop models will be announced on that Monday. It is worth noting that this latest revelation does not mention the release of the laptop HX series model review letter
