<\/a>The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K CPUs just got a little more expensive.<\/p>\n

Intel has raised the recommended pricing for its Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus desktop processors, attributing the changes to rising supply chain costs and strong demand for the refreshed Arrow Lake lineup.<\/p>\n

Intel is quietly adjusting the recommended customer prices (RCP) of its Core Ultra 200S Plus desktop lineup, namely the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus. The latter now has a price range of $339 to $349, while the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is listed between $219 and $229. <\/p>\n

Upon unveiling<\/a> the Core Ultra 200S Plus series as a refresh of its Arrow Lake desktop lineup back in March, original pricing started at $299 for the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and $199 for the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus. The new RCPs mark a price hike of $40 to $50 for the Core Ultra 7 model and $20 to $30 for the Core Ultra 5, depending on the specific variant. <\/p>\n

According to a statement from Intel’s German press office, made to Hardwareluxx<\/a>, the updated pricing reflects current market conditions, i.e., rising supply chain costs and robust demand for the Core Ultra 200S Plus lineup. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus features 24 cores (8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores), while the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus offers 18 cores (6 performance cores and 12 efficiency cores). Both chips use the LGA-1851 socket and support DDR5-7200 RAM.<\/p>\n

I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u24d8 Intel The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K CPUs just got a little…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":777443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[104754,64,63,234,219013,10236,13268,223572,10167,190855,1853,235,40169,2150,16613,6459,227,237302,261726,233,226,6342,27815,236,78615,368555,232,228,229,2176,105,231,230,178737],"class_list":["post-777442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-arrow","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-benchmarks","tag-chipset","tag-core","tag-cpu","tag-ddr5","tag-demand","tag-desktop","tag-gaming","tag-graphics-card","tag-hardware","tag-hike","tag-intel","tag-lake","tag-laptop","tag-lga1851","tag-motherboard","tag-netbook","tag-notebook","tag-performance","tag-pricing","tag-processor","tag-processors","tag-rcp","tag-reports","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-supply","tag-technology","tag-test","tag-tests","tag-ultra"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=777442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/777443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=777442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=777442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
