Intel Core Ultra 7 260K Quietly Launches As Newegg-Exclusive CPU, Paired With Up To GeForce RTX 5070 At $1999 - Wccftech
Intel has quietly released the 20-core Core Ultra 7 260K processor, available only through prebuilt systems sold exclusively on Newegg.
The new processor features a 3.9 GHz P-Core base frequency, 30 MB of Intel Smart Cache, and a 5.4 GHz Turbo clock speed, slightly lower than the Core Ultra 7 265K's 5.5 GHz. Despite being part of Intel's expanding Arrow Lake-S lineup, the 260K is not part of the Arrow Lake Refresh series.
Exclusive Availability
Newegg has confirmed to Tom's Hardware that the Core Ultra 7 260K won't be sold separately and is only available through their ABS gaming desktops. The retailer is offering at least two prebuilt configurations featuring this processor, both with 32 GB DDR5 memory and 1 TB storage.
The processor should be close in performance to the Core Ultra 265K, given the specifications mentioned.
Pricing and Bundles
The system with the GeForce RTX 5060 is priced at $1,699, while the RTX 5070-powered PC costs $1,999. Both configurations come with a $300 discount from the retailer and include the Intel Holiday Bundle 2026, valued at $85. Intel itself hasn't prepared a product page for the processor, suggesting it's designed exclusively for system integrators.
