Intel Readies Arrow Lake Refresh Desktop CPUs

HP has listed an OMEN 35L desktop featuring Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 7 270K Plus CPU ahead of an expected mid-March launch. The 270K Plus reportedly offers a 24-core/24-thread design, up to 5.4 GHz turbo, 36 MB L3 cache and 13 NPU TOPs, and the HP build pairs it with an NVIDIA RTX 5070 for a placeholder $5,499 price. Reviews are said to go live March 23.
