Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake desktop refresh detailed in new leak — Core Ultra 290K Plus, 270K Plus, & 250K Plus will ship with improved clocks and more E-cores, along with DDR5-7200 support

After what could only be described as an underwhelming release, Intel is ready to refresh its Arrow Lake-S lineup of desktop CPUs with three new models, all set to bring marginal improvements. According to Videocardz, the company is preparing the Core Ultra 290K Plus, Core Ultra 270K Plus, and Core Ultra 250K Plus processors as the final products to launch on the outgoing LGA 1851 socket, soon to be replaced with LGA 1954 for Nova Lake. Let's break it all down.

The first SKU is the Core Ultra 290K Plus, which will be "replacing" (read: succeeding) the current-gen Core Ultra 285K. It has the same 8P+16E core count, but the P-Core turbo has been bumped 100 MHz to 5.6 GHz, and the E-Core now turbos at up to 4.8 GHz, up from 4.6 GHz. The Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) — which can take the clocks of certain, cherry-picked cores even higher than the max turbo — is now rated 5.8 GHz, compared to 5.7 GHz on the 285K.
