Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus
Intel's revised Arrow Lake flagship for LGA1851: four more E-cores than the Core Ultra 7 265K it replaces (24 cores total), a 76 MB combined cache, and a 5.5 GHz peak, launched March 26, 2026 alongside the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus as part of Intel's Core Ultra 200S Plus refresh.
Pros
- 24 cores (8 P-cores, 16 E-cores) at up to 5.5 GHz, matching the flagship Core Ultra 9 285K's core count
- 76 MB combined cache (40 MB L2 + 36 MB L3) and native DDR5-7200 memory support
- Unlocked multiplier for overclocking on Z890 motherboards
- In review testing, Geekbench 6 multi-core scores ahead of both the Core Ultra 9 285K and the outgoing Core Ultra 7 265K
Cons
- 250 W maximum turbo power — the same ceiling as the Core Ultra 7 265K it replaces — so a substantial cooler is still required
- No cooler included in the box
- Requires an LGA1851 motherboard; no backward compatibility with LGA1700 boards
- Single-core gains over the previous Core Ultra 7 265K are incremental rather than a generational jump
