Intel Core Ultra 200 Series CPUs drop to new lows, up to $200 off during fall sales
Intel’s Arrow Lake-S desktop lineup is seeing some of its best discounts since launch. The Core Ultra 9 285K, Ultra 7 265K, and Ultra 5 245K are all available at much lower prices on Amazon and Newegg, with some bundles including liquid or air coolers and extra promo codes for even deeper savings.
The flagship Core Ultra 9 285K , a 24-core (8P + 16E) chip boosting up to 5.7 GHz, is now listed at $474.98, down from its $589 launch price — about $115 cheaper.

The Core Ultra 7 265K offers 20 cores (8P + 12E) and a 5.5 GHz boost clock. It’s currently $259.99 at Newegg, which includes the MSI MAG 360 AIO cooler and an extra $50 off with promo code FTTE95 — effectively dropping it by $134 compared to the original $394 price.
Finally, the Core Ultra 5 245K , a 14-core (6P + 8E) CPU with a 5.2 GHz boost clock, is now $189.99, also on Newegg. It includes a Cooler Master Hyper 212 air cooler and $35 off with code FTTE97, compared to its $309 MSRP, a drop of around $120.
While Intel already adjusted official pricing for the Ultra 200 series earlier this year, these new deals push retail prices even lower. The Arrow Lake lineup remains compatible with the LGA-1851 platform, offering up to 24 cores, 5.7 GHz boost clocks, and 125 W PBP ratings.
