For months now, there has been plenty of discussion about Intel’s next generation of mainstream desktop CPUs – the Arrow Lake processors. So far, we have seen the specs of the processors through leaks and benchmarks. While the specs of the CPUs have come to light in the last two weeks, we don’t yet know the exact prices of the Arrow Lake processors.
However, recently, a Canadian retailer’s website showcased the new processor lineup with its prices – and the high-end Core Ultra 9 285K seems to cost a pretty penny. And now, yet another Canadian retailer has listed the prices of Arrow Lake CPUs.
Canadian retail website lists prices of Intel
As spotted by X user @momomo_us, ShopRBC has listed the upcoming desktop 15th-generation lineup processors (also known as Arrow Lake-S) along with their prices.
As you can see, this website lists the exact same models as the other Canadian retailer we saw in the previous report. Further, the prices also seem to be about the same. For instance, the earlier retailer had listed the Core Ultra 9 285K’s price as $847.99, which is similar to shopRBC’s $852.
Processor | shopRBC prices (CAD) | Previously leaked prices (CAD) |
Core Ultra 9 285K | $852 | $847.99 |
Core Ultra 7 265K | $589 | $563.99 |
Core Ultra 7 265KF | $567 | $584.99 |
Core Ultra 5 245K | $450 | $484.99 |
Core Ultra 5 245KF | $427 | $447.99 |
To translate this into US dollars, the shopRBC prices would suggest the flagship 285K to come in at around $628, while the entry-level 245KF will be priced at just under $315.
While the prices may seem reasonable, it should be noted that Intel hasn’t confirmed any pricing details yet. As per several reports, Intel is planning to release the Core Ultra processors in October, which is just a few weeks away. Along with the CPUs, Intel will also launch the Intel Z890 motherboard chipset, which is said to be equipped with a safer default Intel profile.
In case you missed it, Intel launched the Lunar Lake CPUs (Core Ultra 200V series processors) earlier this month, on September 3rd. These processors will power thin and light laptops, like the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i, which we saw last week.
