Intel · Core Ultra 7 · 2026 · LGA1851
The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is a desktop processor with 24 cores (8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficiency-cores), released in 2026 at an MSRP of $349. It is part of the Core Ultra 7 lineup, using the 200 Series Plus platform, and fits the LGA1851 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Arrow Lake Refresh" architecture. Only the 8 P-cores support Hyper-Threading, while the 16 E-cores handle a single thread each, together yielding 24 threads: the P-cores tackle latency-sensitive and lightly-threaded work, while the E-cores take on background and highly parallel tasks. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus has a base clock of 3.7 GHz and can boost up to 5.5 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Arrow Lake Refresh" silicon on a Intel 3 process node. The multiplier is unlocked, making overclocking straightforward. This processor supports DDR5 memory. With a TDP of 125W, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. Integrated graphics are provided by the Intel Graphics 2000 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy consists of 80KB/core of L1, 40MB of L2, and 36MB of L3 cache.
Arrow Lake Refresh — 4 additional E-cores over the 265K giving it the same 8P+16E config as the 285K. Lacks Thermal Velocity Boost so max boost is 5.5 GHz vs 5.7 GHz on 285K. Ships with 200S Boost Mode enabled by default.
