New Price Reductions for Intel Core Ultra 7 Series CPUs

Last month, Intel revealed significant price cuts on its Core Ultra 7 265K and 265KF CPUs. Initially priced at $399 and $384, their new prices are set at $309 and $294, respectively. Several retailers have further enhanced their offerings by bundling these CPUs with a 32 GB DDR5 memory kit. Additionally, buyers will receive two complimentary games: Civilization VII and Dying Light: The Beast.
