Intel quietly bumps the price up of the best CPUs it's made in years to 'reflect current market dynamics'

If you take a gander inside your gaming PC and randomly point at any component in there, you're almost certainly going to land on something that's noticeably more expensive than it was just 12 months ago. And if that so happens to be an Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus chip, then that's included too, as the recommended retail price has quietly jumped up.

As reported by HardwareLuxx, the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core 5 250K Plus, as well as their iGPU-less F-variants, have gained tens of dollars on what Intel calls the 'Recommended Customer Price'. In the case of the 270K Plus, it's now $339 to $349, with its smaller sibling now $219 to $229.
