Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and 7 270K Plus Review: High Performance at Competitive Prices
Intel has unveiled the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus as refresh models of the Arrow Lake series, featuring higher clock speeds, improved core layouts, and support for DDR5-7200. Both processors outperform the Core i9-14900K in gaming and deliver superior price-to-performance ratios. The new CPUs mark a significant intermediate step in Intel’s roadmap and represent a strategic price offensive against AMD’s mid-range offerings.
A wide range of tablets and smartphones are currently available at significantly reduced prices, including the OnePlus Pad Lite for €126, the Lenovo Idea Tab with 5G for €199, and the Xiaomi Pad 7, which outperformed the iPad in testing. Notable offerings also include the rugged Doogee Fire 7 Ultra with a 13,000 mAh battery, the Alldocube Ultra Pad with a 15,000 mAh battery, and the Blackview Active 12 Pro with an integrated projector. These deals, often enabled by vouchers or special promotions at online retailers like AliExpress or MediaMarkt, provide attractive options for Android enthusiasts and users in demanding environments.
