The new lineup includes the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, which maintains a 24-core configuration but increases its maximum P-core frequency by 100 MHz. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus gains four additional E-cores for a total of 24 cores, while the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus also receives four extra E-cores and a 100 MHz P-core clock speed boost. These refreshed CPUs will also feature enhanced official memory support, increasing from DDR5-6400 to DDR5-7200. This upgrade is expected to benefit performance, particularly for enthusiasts leveraging the improved memory controller. The changes follow a pattern similar to previous Intel generations, where specific SKUs received more substantial core count upgrades than others in the product stack. [/QUOTE]
