Some great Intel CPU deals are live on retailers like Newegg and Amazon, and if you want to save a good amount of cash, take a look at how much you can save on these deals.
Intel Drops Core Ultra 5 245KF to $170, 245K to $190, and Core Ultra 9 285K to Just $499; Bundles Free AIO As Well
If regular prices for the Arrow Lake processors don't appeal to you, then these deals definitely will. A 14-core processor that usually stays at around $250 has now dropped to just $170. This is the Core Ultra 5 245KF, a 245K variant with no iGPU, but other specs remain the same. It's a decent gaming/productivity CPU that is on par with most $200 modern CPUs, but it will also offer more cores to speed up your tasks.
On Newegg, with a $30-$80 coupon code, one can buy the 245KF and other processors for good prices, along with some free stuff. The Core Ultra 5 245KF for $169 will also give the users Intel's Holiday Bundle 2025 valued at $59 for free, as well as an $85 Cooler Master 240mm AIO. So, if you deduct these prices from the current deal price for the processor, you are down to just $26. At this price, the Ultra 5 245KF might be one of the best budget CPUs to buy right now.
If you want the one with the integrated graphics, you can get it for under $200 as well. The Core Ultra 5 245K is listed at $229, but with a $40 coupon code, the processor comes down to just $189. For those who are craving for more cores, the Core Ultra 7 265K and 265KF will offer them plenty of cores for intensive CPU-oriented apps as well as offer satisfactory gaming performance. Each of these have come down to much lower than $300.
For those who want the leading productivity performance can opt for the Core Ultra 9 285K, which is now down from $579 to just $499. With all these deals, users won't have to purchase a cooler separately, and can invest more in other parts, particularly RAM, which is the most expensive component right now.
