European retailers have launched Arrow Lake Refresh in advance, and the price is almost the same as its predecessor.
Tipster @momomo_us found that two European retailers have listed the prices of three Arrow Lake Refresh models, one of which is from Romania. As you can see from the picture below, there are three models: Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus (no CPU box picture):

Although Intel hasn’t even announced it yet, this website has already shown the selling price:
- Core Ultra 7 270K Plus: 1,699 lei (approximately NT$12,462)
- Core Ultra 5 250K Plus: 1,129 lei (approximately NT$8,281)
- Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus: 1,049 lei (approximately NT$7,694)
For comparison, here is the current selling price of the previous generation:
- Core Ultra 7 265K：1,649 lei
- Core Ultra 5 245K：1,129 lei
- Core Ultra 5 245KF：1,049 lei
Although the 270K Plus is 50 lei more expensive (approximately NT$366), the overall price is almost the same. It is not an exaggeration to say that the price has not increased.
Next is another European retailer, this one only lists the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, priced at 258.13 euros, which is also the same price as the Core Ultra 7 265K:

This means that the Arrow Lake Refresh series has a good chance of maintaining a similar price to the previous generation Arrow Lake. If this is the case, in this era when computer hardware is increasing, it will make people think that Intel is quite generous.
Of course, after all, it has not been released yet, and the information posted on these two websites may be just a placeholder. The actual price will not be known until Intel officially launches the Arrow Lake Refresh series.
What are the main changes to the Arrow Lake Refresh series?
Judging from the current compilation of foreign media and revelations, Arrow Lake Refresh is more like a “minor facelift” route. The focus is not on major changes, but on improving the existing platform.
To put it simply, by slightly increasing the clock speed, some models may also make fine adjustments to the core configuration and bring higher memory support specifications. As for whether the NPU/AI computing power has been updated, the current statement is still uncertain.
- Clock slightly increased
- There is news that mid-range/entry models may add E-core
- DDR5 may support DDR5-7200
- It’s unclear whether the NPU will be upgraded
