"Meanwhile, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus maxes out the "Arrow Lake-S" silicon, enabling all 8 P-cores, and all 16 E-cores, along with the entire 36 MB of L3 cache present on the silicon. In comparison, the 265K only comes with an 8P+12E core configuration, with 30 MB of shared L3 cache. The only things segmenting the 270K Plus from the Core Ultra 9 285K are a lack of Thermal Velocity Boost algorithm, and a maximum P-core boost frequency of 5.50 GHz, compared to 5.70 GHz of the 285K. While it lacks Thermal Velocity Boost, it features Turbo Boost Max 3.0, just like the 265K does.
The Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus come with native support for DDR5-7200 memory speed, an increase from the DDR5-6400 native support of the older "Arrow Lake" desktop chips. Product warranty covers memory overclocking up to DDR5-8000. The two new chips also come with native support for quad-rank DDR5 CUDIMMs. These are new-generation UDIMMs that feature four DDR5 ranks and a client clock driver (CKD), helping consumer memory manufacturers significantly dial up densities along with memory speeds without having to use expensive high-density DRAM chips that are in short-supply. 4-rank CUDIMM support will also require motherboard vendors to implement it on their end with their latest products. It also requires certain UEFI firmware-level readiness.
Intel also announced the Binary Optimization Tool, a utility that helps end-users optimize application/game binaries to get the most performance out of "Arrow Lake-S" processors, we will have more details on that in our review later this month.
As mentioned earlier, the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus are intended to displace the 245K and 265K, respectively, from their current price points. Both chips will begin retailing from March 26, 2026 for $199 and $299."
