Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, First Arrow Lake Refresh SKU Leaks Out — Enhanced Performance Meets Next-Generation Cooling with Maxtor
Rumors surrounding Intel’s upcoming refresh of desktop CPUs, known as Arrow Lake, are gaining traction as more details about the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus surface. The supposed refresh, expected to arrive around Q1 next year, has not yet been officially confirmed by Intel, but new leaks are shedding light on what’s to come.
Recent reports suggest Intel is introducing cosmetic and performance adjustments across the new Core Ultra 200 series, including the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus. While earlier speculation positioned this CPU as a refresh of the Core Ultra 7 265K (with 20 cores—8 Performance and 12 Efficient), new Geekbench data paints a slightly different picture. The leaked results show 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores, resembling a tuned version of the Core Ultra 9 285K.
According to benchmark data, the processor achieves 3215 points in single-core and 22720 in multi-core tests, aligning closely with the Core Ultra 9 285K in official rankings. With a base clock of 3.7 GHz and a boost up to 5.5 GHz, the chip maintains impressive performance consistency. The test system, reportedly paired with a GeForce RTX 5090D, reinforces speculation that this CPU was benchmarked on a new Lenovo desktop currently undergoing evaluation in China.
Additionally, early hint at memory speed support up to 7200 MT/s, signaling improved platform capabilities for power users and enthusiasts. While details on TDP and final core counts remain uncertain, the refreshed Arrow Lake lineup, including the rumored Ultra 9 290K Plus (24 cores) and Ultra 5 250K (14 cores), demonstrates Intel’s strategic fine-tuning of its CPU range.
