Intel has officially launched its Arrow Lake Refresh (Core Ultra 200S Plus series), featuring the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus. After the initial Arrow Lake launch struggled to win over gamers, this "Plus" refresh aims to reclaim the gaming crown. Intel is reporting a 15% boost in gaming performance over the previous 200S models, achieved through increased efficiency core (E-core) counts, a 900MHz boost in die-to-die speeds to reduce latency, and aggressive pricing—specifically the $199 Core Ultra 5 250K Plus—that directly undercuts AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series.
