Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 270K Plus

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is a desktop processor with a hybrid 24-core layout (8 performance cores + 16 efficiency cores) and 24 threads, built on the Arrow Lake architecture (Compute Tile 's N3B process). It launched in Jan 2026. Clocks run from 3.7 GHz base to 5.5 GHz boost. A 36-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1851 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (24 lanes). Rated TDP is 125 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus scores 5,080 in single-core performance and 68,894 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 18,708 for overall performance, 51,893 for productivity performance, 47,036 for creator performance, 87,840 for engineering performance and 32,464 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,871 per core, 2,871 per thread and 551 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,673. Its performance index is 232, so its overall performance is 132% 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 270K Plus scores 175,960 in integer math, 229,397 in floating-point math, 803,773 in compression, 59,104 in cryptography, 4,082 in physics simulation, 63,437 in vector SIMD, 615 in the prime sieve and 96,925 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 199% above in integer math, 400% above in floating-point math, 252% above in compression, 414% above in cryptography, 274% above in physics simulation, 309% above in vector SIMD, 818% above in the prime sieve and 328% 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 270K Plus has 24 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 5.50 GHz.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core Ultra 7 family, uses the Arrow Lake architecture, carries the codename Arrow Lake and is manufactured on a Compute Tile 's N3B process. It launched in Jan 2026.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus has 2.38 MB of L1 cache, 40 MB of L2 cache and 36 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 78.4 MB of cache, or 3.27 MB per core.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 2.4 MB, L2 at 40 MB and L3 at 36 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 51% of the cache listed here.
