One of the fastest gaming and productivity chip is now under $300, making it a perfect choice for enthusiasts.
Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus Gets a $35 Discount on Amazon, Making it the Cheapest 24-Core CPU on the Market
You don't see great CPU deals every day, but thanks to the Prime Day deals, some of the best processors are now down to their lowest prices ever. After Intel's launch of Arrow Lake Refresh, aka Core Ultra 200S Plus, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus became the most popular Intel desktop chip, selling like hotcakes due to its amazing raw performance.
Unlike the flagship Core Ultra 9 285K, the processor doesn't sit at $500+, but sells at just $300 at most retailers. At $300, it's already a great processor for gaming and productivity, but right now, the processor has dropped to an incredible $264. This is the lowest the processor has gone since launch, making the deal irresistible.
Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus at $264 is a far better deal than finding a Ryzen 7 9800X3D at $400. You get superior value for your money and an excellent gaming-productivity combo that can beat any processor at that price. The processor brings a combination of 8 Performance and 16 Efficient cores, making it equivalent to the Core Ultra 9 285K in terms of core configuration, despite costing $200 less.
The processor brings increased die-to-die communication speed, better out-of-the-box memory support, and, of course, four more cores than the Core Ultra 7 265K, which currently sits at $250. The processor has shown immense gains in gaming vs the non-Plus variant, and is already ahead in productivity workloads due to more cores.
