Geekbench leak sees Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 7 270K comfortably ahead of Core Ultra 265K — alleged result shows Arrow Lake refresh chip 5.6% ahead of the 265K

Intel is gearing up to release a refreshed Arrow Lake lineup next year, with the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus leading the pack. This chip is expected to outperform its predecessor, the Core Ultra 7 265K, by 5.6% in single-core and 4.2% in multi-core performance. The 270K Plus features 8 P-cores, 16 E-cores, and boosted clock speeds, offering a slight performance increase. Despite using slower memory, the Geekbench scores for this chip are promising, making it a potential upgrade for users on the current-gen LGA 1851 socket. However, with AMD's dominance in the market, Intel's Arrow Lake refresh may serve as a transitional product until Nova Lake arrives.
