Intel's 20-core Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is down to its lowest price ever on Amazon, selling for just $154 on sale.
Intel has slashed the price of its Core Ultra 5 250K Plus CPU by 30% to just $154 on Amazon, making it the lowest price ever for this midrange processor. Despite being priced like an entry-level CPU, the 250K Plus proves itself worthy in gaming and productivity tasks, even though it lacks Hyper-Threading and comes with 20 cores.
This 20-core CPU features six Lion Cove P-cores and 12 Skymont E-cores, and it boasts a maximum boost clock of 5.5 GHz. The chip's unlocked K-series design means overclocking is possible, although a Z-series chipset is required for optimal performance. The Core Ultra 5 250K Plus outperforms AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X in multithreaded tasks, and it even surpasses Intel's own Ryzen 5 9600X at a lower price point.
While it may not be the top performer in gaming, the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus offers a solid performance for its price, making it a great deal for anyone in the market for a capable CPU.
