The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus<\/strong> was billed by the company in late March<\/a> as one of its \u201cfastest gaming desktop processor ever.\u201d That hype was evidently accurate, as benchmarks done by Gamers Nexus<\/a> show the processor giving AMD\u2019s pricier X3D cache-equipped Ryzen 9000-series CPUs a run for their money. The Ultra 7 270K Plus also outperforms the Core i9 14900K in many tasks, which has long been a preferred choice for gamers.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, it won\u2019t cost you a ton to buy the 270K Plus if you\u2019re considering a PC upgrade or building one from scratch. You can get this CPU at an all-time low price of $279.99 (about $45 off the normal price) right now at Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 270K Plus requires a motherboard with an LGA 1851 socket, of which there are many options available that support DDR5 RAM, plenty M.2 SSDs, and with support for Wi-Fi 7. It\u2019s great to see prices come down on some PC components, though the savings are tougher to appreciate when costs on RAM are still much higher<\/a> than they used to be. If you\u2019re looking for a range of parts, Micro Center<\/a> has component bundles that loop in discounted RAM for the best prices on the web.<\/p>\n

One nice perk of getting the CPU is that, through July 31st, you can register your purchase with Intel<\/a> to get a full download of the Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus was billed by the company in late March as one of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":486534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[3425,18,282,7894,19,17,13535,82,97216],"class_list":{"0":"post-486533","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-deals","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-gadgets","11":"tag-gaming","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-pc-gaming","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-verge-shopping"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116580349907205671","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=486533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
