Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 270HX+

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX+ is a laptop processor with a hybrid 20-core layout (8 performance cores + 12 efficiency cores) and 20 threads, built on the Arrow Lake architecture. It launched in Jan 2026. Clocks run from 2.4 GHz base to 5.3 GHz boost. A 30-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.4 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA2114 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (24 lanes). Rated TDP is 55 W. Notable platform capabilities: Neural Processing Unit (NPU), AVX-VNNI, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX+ scores 4,742 in single-core performance and 48,768 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 15,207 for overall performance, 38,338 for productivity performance, 35,358 for creator performance, 59,131 for engineering performance and 26,418 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,438 per core, 2,438 per thread and 887 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 2,051. Its performance index is 188, so its overall performance is 88% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX+ scores 126,157 in integer math, 167,344 in floating-point math, 501,782 in compression, 38,680 in cryptography, 3,501 in physics simulation, 40,210 in vector SIMD, 458 in the prime sieve and 61,539 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 114% above in integer math, 265% above in floating-point math, 120% above in compression, 237% above in cryptography, 221% above in physics simulation, 159% above in vector SIMD, 584% above in the prime sieve and 172% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX+ has 20 physical cores and runs 20 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 8 performance cores and 12 efficiency cores. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz and boosts up to 5.30 GHz.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX+ is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core Ultra 7 family, uses the Arrow Lake architecture and carries the codename Arrow Lake. It launched in Jan 2026.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX+ has 2 MB of L1 cache, 36 MB of L2 cache and 30 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 68.0 MB of cache, or 3.40 MB per core.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX+ has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 2 MB, L2 at 36 MB and L3 at 30 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 53% of the cache listed here.
