Intel is on the verge of launching its enhanced Arrow Lake-Refresh series of processors. This lineup encompasses the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, and Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, which are the successors to the current 285K, 265K, and 245K models, respectively. The enhancements in this upgrade are predominantly realized through an expansion in the number of E-cores and an elevation in clock frequencies.

Among these, the Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, featuring an 8P+16E core architecture, witnesses a 100MHz increase in both P-core and E-core turbo frequencies, with its TVB frequency soaring to an impressive 5.8GHz. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus has also been upgraded to an 8P+16E core setup. While its P-core turbo frequency remains steady at 5.5GHz, the E-core turbo frequency climbs to 4.7GHz. However, it's worth noting that the base frequency has seen a reduction. The Core Ultra 5 250K Plus has undergone a transformation from a 6P+8E to a 6P+12E configuration. Its P-core turbo frequency has been enhanced by 100MHz, reaching 5.3GHz, and the E-core turbo frequency attains 4.7GHz.

Furthermore, all Arrow Lake-Refresh processors will boast upgraded memory support, transitioning to DDR5-7200 MT/s. This advancement translates into an 800 MT/s increase in bandwidth, marking a significant leap in performance capabilities.
