Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus appears on Geekbench

The saga surrounding Intel's Arrow Lake Refresh continues to evolve, with a new benchmark leak adding another layer of confusion to the mix. A processor identifying itself as the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus has just surfaced in the Geekbench 6 database, and its core configuration is quite surprising.

According to the entry spotted by Benchleaks, this supposed Core Ultra 7 chip boasts 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores, for a total of 24 cores. This is identical to the core count of the current flagship Core Ultra 9 285K and more than the 20 cores (8P+12E) found in the existing Core Ultra 7 265K. Despite the increased core count, the listed clock speeds (3.7 GHz base, 5.5 GHz boost) match the current 265K, not the higher-clocked 285K.

The chip scored 3,215 points in single-core and 22,720 in multi-core, which puts it on par with the average Core Ultra 9 285K. The test system appears to be a pre-production Lenovo desktop, as it was paired with an RTX 5090D, the China-exclusive variant of Nvidia's top GPU.

This leak throws a wrench into the reports that the Arrow Lake Refresh would be limited to a clock speed bump for existing SKUs. A Core Ultra 7 with the exact core count as a Core Ultra 9 would be unexpected from Intel but suggests a more significant reshuffling of the product stack is planned. Other rumoured SKUs for this refresh, potentially launching in Q1 2026, include a Core Ultra 9 290K Plus and a Core Ultra 5 250K.

KitGuru says: As always, take leaks with a grain of salt. Official announcements will be made eventually.
