Intel Core Ultra 200 Non-K CPUs Spotted in Canadian Retail Listing
Solomon Thompson / 1 month ago
As Intel prepares to expand its Core Ultra 200 series of processors with “non-K” models, leaks are becoming more common. Now, some of the products have appeared early on PC-Canada, a retailer known for its early listings of new computer components.
Enthusiast SKUs and the Arrival of Arrow Lake-S
As usual, Intel marked the debut of the Arrow Lake-S generation with SKUs aimed at enthusiasts. These are high-performance CPUs, unlocked for overclocking, with the letters “K” or “KF” in the name to indicate their niche. The mid-range and entry-level versions of this line are expected to start appearing next year, with their announcement likely for CES 2025.
Early Listings and Pricing Details
The PC-Canada listing was spotted by leaker Momomo_us and shows five CPUs that have already appeared in a previous leak, which he himself posted. The new, yet unofficial Core Ultra 200s appear with the following prices in Canadian dollars (thanks VideoCards):
- Core Ultra 9 285K: C$862.99
- Core Ultra 9 285: C$845.99
- Core Ultra 7 265K: C$578.99
- Core Ultra 7 265KF: C$559.99
- Core Ultra 7 265F: C$561.99
- Core Ultra 7 265: C$585.99
- Core Ultra 5 245K: C$457.99
- Core Ultra 5 245KF: C$427.99
- Core Ultra 5 225F: C$343.99
- Core Ultra 5 225: C$367.99
Attentive readers may have noticed that the prices listed for the Core Ultra 200 on PC-Canada don’t make much sense. Some of the models are even more expensive than the more advanced “K” variants. So, we can assume that these prices are placeholders, to be replaced by the real prices after launch.
The most interesting thing about the leak is not these prices, but rather the models shown. If PC-Canada is getting ahead of itself in registering the page for these products, we can speculate that these will be the first “non-K” Core Ultra 200s to appear in stores, especially considering that they were also on the list of names and details that leaked earlier this month.
