Full description and specifications

Twenty-four cores, 36MB of cache and DDR5-7200 — i9-class specification at Core Ultra 7 pricing.

Quick Specs

  • 24 cores (8 P-cores + 16 E-cores) / 24 threads
  • 3.7GHz P-core base, up to 5.5GHz turbo
  • 36MB Intel Smart Cache
  • 125W base power, 250W max turbo
  • Intel Graphics, 4 Xe-cores up to 2.0GHz; 13 TOPS NPU

The value flagship of the range

The 270K takes the Core Ultra 9's core layout — eight Performance-cores and sixteen efficiency cores, 36MB of cache — and sells it as a 7. It also gets DDR5-7200 support rather than 6400. In practice that means near-flagship multi-threaded throughput for rendering, encoding and compiling, a 5.5GHz turbo for games, and Xe graphics for display output, all at a noticeably lower price than the 285K sitting above it.

What separates it from the 285K

Only 200MHz of turbo, essentially. The 285K reaches 5.7GHz; everything else — core layout, cache, power ceiling — is the same. That makes the 270K the smarter buy for almost everyone. Cooling is the real requirement here: 250W maximum turbo needs an AIO or a serious dual-tower air cooler, and none is included. As always with Core Ultra, no Hyper-Threading — twenty-four cores, twenty-four threads.

FEATURES:

  • 8 P-cores + 16 E-cores, 24 total, at up to 5.5GHz
  • 36MB Intel Smart Cache
  • DDR5 support up to 7200 MT/s
  • Unlocked multiplier for Z-series overclocking
  • Intel AI Boost NPU — 13 TOPS; Xe graphics on board

  • Intel Core Ultra 7 270K processor
  • Documentation
  • Cooler sold separately — AIO or high-end air cooler recommended

Why Intel?

Getting the flagship's core count and cache without the flagship's price is the sort of gap worth spotting. Every Intel processor from AZonline is genuine boxed stock carrying a 3 Year warranty.

Questions

Before you buy

Which motherboards will this CPU fit?
It uses the LGA1851 socket, so it needs a motherboard with a matching socket. Sockets are not cross-compatible - a chip will not physically fit a board built for a different one. Every motherboard we list shows its socket on the Specifications tab, and it is worth checking the board maker’s support list for a BIOS update if the board is from an earlier generation than the chip.
How many cores and threads does it have?
24 cores and 24 threads. Cores do the work; threads are the number of jobs the chip can keep in flight at once. Games lean on a handful of fast cores, while rendering, compiling and video export scale with the total count.
What sort of cooler does it need?
It is rated at 125W TDP, which is the heat a cooler has to carry away under sustained load. Match or beat that figure with the cooler you choose, and check the What’s in the box list above - some processors ship with a cooler, some do not. Our PC Builder only offers coolers that fit the socket you have picked.
Do I need a separate graphics card with it?
No - this processor has integrated graphics, so it will drive a display on its own. You still want a graphics card for gaming or GPU-accelerated creative work, but the machine will boot and run without one.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
