# Unannounced Intel Core Ultra 7 260K Appears in Newegg Prebuilts

November 13, 2026 at 02:03 PM

> An unannounced Intel Core Ultra 7 260K has surfaced in Newegg's ABS prebuilt PCs, listed as a retailer-exclusive downclocked version of the 265K.

A new Intel Arrow Lake SKU, the Core Ultra 7 260K, has appeared in multiple prebuilt PCs on Newegg without official acknowledgment from Intel. The chip is listed in ABS systems like the Kaze II with an RTX 5060 and the Flux II Aqua with an RTX 5070. Newegg states the CPU is exclusive to the retailer and only sold through its in-house ABS prebuilts.

The Core Ultra 7 260K is a downclocked version of the Core Ultra 7 265K, featuring 20 cores (8 P-cores), a 5.4 GHz max boost, 125W TDP, 30 MB L3 cache, and support for up to 256 GB of DDR5-6400 memory. It is not part of the Arrow Lake Refresh stack, so it lacks hardware-level enhancements and the Intel Binary Optimization Tool. Newegg's selector refers to it as U7-260KF, suggesting no integrated graphics, though the product page lists a 5.2 GHz boost.

This unannounced chip matters because it offers a lower-cost Arrow Lake option exclusively through Newegg prebuilts, potentially filling a gap before Arrow Lake Refresh arrives. However, its absence from Intel's official specs page and lack of Refresh features may limit appeal. Tom's Hardware has reached out to Intel for details, but the CPU remains untested.
