Overview

An Intel Core Ultra 7 270K desktop processor with 24 cores, 8 performance and 16 efficiency, and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.5 GHz, built for the LGA1851 socket on Intel 800 series motherboards.

This chip pairs a hybrid P-core and E-core layout with support for Intel's newest platform: LGA1851 socket, PCIe 5.0/4.0 lanes and DDR5 memory speeds up to 7200 MT/s. The 125W base and 250W max turbo power figures mean it needs a cooler and motherboard rated for sustained higher-wattage operation, especially if paired with a Z-series board for overclocking. As an unlocked K-series chip, it's aimed at enthusiasts who plan to tune clocks rather than run it stock out of the box.

Who it's for

Fits gamers and content creators building a new Intel 800-series system who want strong single-thread boost speed alongside a high core count for multitasking. Not the pick for anyone wanting to reuse an older LGA1700 motherboard, since this requires the newer LGA1851 socket.

Pros and cons

Pros

24 cores total, 8 P-cores plus 16 E-cores
Up to 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency
Unlocked for overclocking on Z-series boards
Supports PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 up to 7200 MT/s

Cons

Requires the newer LGA1851 socket, not backward compatible
250W max turbo power needs a capable cooler
No motherboard or cooler included

Performance notes

The 8 P-core plus 16 E-core layout puts heavy single-threaded work on the performance cores while background and multi-threaded tasks run on the efficiency cores, how Intel balances speed against power draw on its hybrid chips. Reaching up to 5.5 GHz turbo requires adequate cooling given the 250W max turbo power spec, and being unlocked, it can be pushed further on a Z-series chipset board. DDR5 support up to 7200 MT/s and PCIe 5.0 lanes keep the platform ready for current high-bandwidth GPUs and storage.
