Intel's Core Ultra 9 290K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus CPUs have been listed and their specs have been confirmed by online retailer.
Intel Core Ultra 9 290K Plus & Core Ultra 7 270K Plus CPUs Listed Online Along With Their Specifications
It looks like Intel's Arrow Lake Plus Refresh CPUs, mainly the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus and the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, have leaked out by an online retailer. The online listing and specs come from Indian retailer, Prime abgb, who have listed both chips along with their preliminary specifications which confirm the recent leaks.
Core Ultra 9 290K Plus
The Core Ultra 9 290K Plus will succeed the Core Ultra 9 285K, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus will succeed the 265K, and the 250K Plus will be sitting over the 245K. However, not every SKU saw the same upgrade, as we have the 290K Plus boasting the same number of cores (8+16) as the 285K, but it will boast 100 MHz higher Max P-Core frequency as well as up to 5.8 GHz Thermal Velocity Boost (100 MHz higher than 285K).
- Core Ultra 9 290K Plus -> +100 MHz Max P-Core and TVB Clocks, DDR5-7200
Core Ultra 7 270K Plus
The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, on the other hand, will have the same clocks as the 265K (except for the E-Core clock changes, which are also seen on other Refresh SKUs), but will have four additional E-Cores, bringing the total core count to 24. This puts it just under the 285K. This feels pretty similar to the jump Intel made going from Intel Core i7 13700K to i7 14700K, as the latter was the only SKU to receive an actual core count upgrade in the whole Raptor Lake Refresh family.
- Core Ultra 7 270K Plus -> +4 E-Cores, DDR5-7200
While the retailer doesn't list down any prices, they have mentioned that both CPUs are in stock, and interested users can "Call for price". Both CPUs come with a 3-year warranty, and while the pricing isn't known, we expect Intel to price the new refresh parts either similar to or close to the existing lineup to maintain the value proposition, which should lead to better interest in the DIY space since the gaming performance is still behind AMD's Ryzen 9000 offerings.
We know from previous information that Intel is preparing to unveil its Core Ultra 200S Plus "Arrow Lake" Refresh lineup at CES 2026, which is just a few weeks away.
