Intel’s Core Ultra 5 250K Plus Unveils 18 Cores and Strong Performance for Under $300
Intel’s upcoming Arrow Lake Refresh, known as the Core Ultra 200S Plus series, is set for launch next month. As excitement builds, the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus has surfaced in the latest Geekbench tests, revealing its competitive edge in the market.
This model is positioned alongside its more powerful counterparts, the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, which have also appeared on Geekbench previously. Specifically targeting the budget-conscious consumer, the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is expected to retail below $300, offering a notable upgrade over the Core Ultra 5 245K, which is currently priced between $200 and $215.
From a technical standpoint, the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is equipped with an architecture that includes 6 Performance cores (P-Cores) and 12 Efficient cores (E-Cores), marking an increase of four E-Cores beyond its predecessor, the Core Ultra 5 245K. Additionally, it features a boosted clock rate of 5.3 GHz, with a base frequency of 4.20 GHz, complemented by 30 MB of L3 cache and 6 MB of L2 cache, making it compatible with the latest LGA 1851 motherboards.
Performance benchmarks indicate that the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus was tested on an ASUS PRIME Z890-P WIFI motherboard with 32 GB of DDR5 memory. It achieved scores of 3113 points in single-core performance and a substantial 15, 251 in multi-core tests. While these results are not earth-shattering, they represent a commendable refresh that sets a solid foundation for anticipated improvements in future testing.
As the release date approaches, the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, along with other models, has already begun to appear on various online retailers’ listings. Notably, this CPU generation will conclude the LGA 1851 platform before Intel transitions to the new LGA 1954 socket, which will support the upcoming Nova Lake CPUs expected to launch later this year.
