As the launch date approaches, Intel’s Arrow Lake “Core Ultra 200” series processors are appearing on various retail sites. This is likely the third listing in the last two weeks and the second Canadian listing to reveal prices in Canadian dollars. The listing includes all five processors that are planned to launch in the first batch of Arrow Lake chips.
Intel Arrow Lake “Core Ultra 200” desktop processors have been spotted by @momomo_us on Canadian retailer Shoprbc, which sells a variety of computer hardware. The Arrow Lake processors are classified on the site as “Intel S1851 Desktop CPU.” The five processors and their prices are listed below:

- Intel Core i5-14600KF 5,3 ГГц 6P+8E: $387
If you translate these prices into US dollars, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF will cost around 314 dollarsCore Ultra 5 245K — 330 dollarsCore Ultra 7 265KF — 417 dollarsCore Ultra 7 265K — 433 dollarsа Core Ultra 9 285K — 627 dollars. Please note that none of these processors are currently available for purchase as they are under embargo. The embargo will be lifted on October 24, but the official presentation is expected on October 10.
For reference, the Intel Core i9-14900K has an RCP of $599, the Core i7-14700K/KF has an RCP of $419–$394, and the Core i5-14600K/KF has an RCP of $329–$304. The same retailer has 14th Gen SKU prices and listed prices for the Core Ultra 200 differing by an average of +9.5%, but you can realistically expect final prices to be close to or the same as current offerings as these 14th Gen CPUs have been significantly discounted since their launch.
There’s still a month before consumers can buy these processors, but the processors have already been listed on other retail sites like Lambdatek and PC-Canada. As for the prices on Shoprbc, they’re roughly in line with what retailers in the UK and Canada were listing, but these are preliminary prices, so expect other “official” retail prices. So the official MSRP will likely be somewhere around these prices.
The prices for these processors are in line with the Raptor Lake chips, but users upgrading from 12th/13th/14th-gen processors will need to upgrade their motherboard from LGA 1700 to LGA 1851, which will feature 800 chipsets like the Z890 and will launch alongside the Arrow Lake processors. The rest of the 800 chipset processors and budget motherboards are expected to launch in early 2025.
