(Image credit: Intel) Intel is currently preparing to launch a refreshed version of its existing Arrow Lake lineup next year for desktop, with minor improvements in binning and tuning across the board. We already detailed three chips from this family in a previous leak — one of them was the high-end Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, which has now been spotted on Geekbench for the first time , with seemingly respectable scores to boot. Remember that this is not an official announcement, so take the news with some skepticism.
For some context, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is supposed to succeed the Core Ultra 7 265K, but with four extra efficiency cores and slight clock adjustments. That makes the 270K Plus a 24-core chip, compared to its outgoing 20-core sibling. Intel has also increase the E-core base and turbo clocks by 100 MHz, and upped DDR5 support from 6400 MT/s to 7200 MT/s.
Specs-wise, we're looking at 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores that can boost up to 5.4 GHz. All of this should combine to offer a small jump in performance, which the new Geekbench listing confirms, and the data even shows it hitting almost 5.5 GHz in the tests.
