From Tom's Hardware: As we inch closer to CES 2026 next month, the rumor mill surrounding Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake refresh churns intensely. Just a few days ago, we covered the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus appearing on Geekbench for the first time, and now that same chip, alongside the rumored flagship Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, has been spotted at a retailer. Obligatory grain-of-salt disclaimer aside, these listings don't reveal much anyway.
Both processors were scouted by veteran tipster @momomo_us at a popular Indian vendor named Prime ABGB, replete with 3-year warranties, but they were curiously listed without any identifiers. For instance, the Intel Product Code — similar to AMD's OPNs — is mentioned on the box and can be easily noted down to put up in the listing, so the lackthereof suggests that perhaps these are just preliminary entries, rather than a leak of any official information.
Regardless, pages for the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core Ultra 9 290K Plus, respectively, still list the CPU specs, which align closely with the leaks we've seen so far. Perhaps that's another indicator that the info may be pulled from what already exists online, and doesn't come from Intel or an official source directly. That, and the fact that there's no price mentioned, it says "Call for Price" for both.
