Intel Arrow Lake release date reportedly delayed as Core Ultra 200K CPU listings appear on retailer with prices

It is quite common for CPUs to start appearing online at retailers close to their launch. The same is currently happening with the Intel Arrow Lake CPUs as the Core Ultra 200K series chips popped up on UK retailer LambdaTek last week.

Following LambdaTek’s lead, Canadian retailer PC-Canada has also listed the Core Ultra 200K chips. While the information provided by the listings, especially the prices, should be taken with a grain of salt, the listings confirm some Arrow Lake specs.

Intel Arrow Lake specs and price

PC-Canada currently lists five Core Ultra 200 CPUs:

• Core Ultra 9 285K with 24 cores (8P + 16E) and a boost clock of up to 5.7 GHz
• Core Ultra 7 265K with 20 cores (8P + 12E) and a boost frequency of up to 5.5 GHz
• Core Ultra 7 265KF with similar specs to the KF model but no iGPU
• Core Ultra 5 245K with 14 cores (6P + 8E) and a clock speed of up to 5.2 GHz
• Core Ultra 5 245KF also with 14 cores but without any on-board graphics

Aside from these Arrow Lake-S specs, we also have pricing info for the above-mentioned chips. But before we discuss the Core Ultra 200K series prices, please remember that such pre-launch listings often have placeholder MSRPs that are prone to updates.

Unsurprisingly, the Core Ultra 9 285K flagship CPU is the most expensive of the bunch with a price of CAD843.99 followed by the Core Ultra 7 265K and 265KF at CAD582.99 and CAD561.99 respectively. The Core Ultra 5 245K and 245KF sit at the bottom of the ladder with listed prices of CAD445.99 and CAD422.99 respectively.

Converting these prices to USD at the current exchange rate results in Arrow Lake MSRPs that are close to the 14th-gen launch prices. For instance, the Core Ultra 5 245K price comes out to be $328.19 which is close to the Core i5-14600K’s launch price of $319. Similarly, the Core Ultra 7 265K with a US price of $429 is relatively close to the $409 launch MSRP of the Core i7-14700K (Available on Amazon).

Finally, the Core Ultra 9 285K price turns out to be $620.96 or $32 more than the launch rate of the Core i9-14900K.

Intel Arrow Lake release date

While Intel hasn’t officially announced the release date of the Arrow Lake CPUs, the Core Ultra 200K chips are expected to be unveiled in early October, possibly on October 10. Previous leaks stated that the chips would go on sale one week after the official announcement. However, a new report from HKEPC alleges that the Core Ultra 200K series will now hit store shelves on October 24. So, we are looking at a one-week delay compared to what earlier rumors alleged.
