In exciting news, the Intel Core Ultra 200S series has begun to see significant price reductions as of yesterday. This development is particularly evident during Newegg’s Fantastech Sale II, which features all desktop processors from the Core Ultra 200S line at attractive discounted prices. Each processor is also shipped with a complimentary CPU cooler, enhancing the overall value of the offerings. While premium models include a high-end AIO cooler from MSI, budget and mid-range models benefit from a more affordable air CPU cooler.

The Core Ultra 5 245K, initially priced above $300, has dropped to $224. With the application of a promotional code, you can purchase it for as low as $189. As an added incentive, a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum air cooler is included at no extra cost. Although it may not claim the title of the fastest gaming CPU within its price bracket, its performance remains competitive, particularly in productivity scenarios thanks to its robust 14-core architecture, which outperforms rivals in multitasking applications.

Meanwhile, the KF variant—the Core Ultra 5 245KF—is also available at a reduction. It is currently priced at $194, but by utilizing a $25 promo code, savvy shoppers can acquire it for as little as $169. This price point represents a notable low for this processor, which mirrors the performance of the Core Ultra 5 245K but lacks integrated graphics. For those planning to use a discrete GPU, this variant enables additional savings while still including the complimentary Cooler Master CPU cooler.
