Get on your laptop or computer bro. On mobile sometime do not show everything. This deal won't last long. If you guy want one, better get it. I really like this CPU, and been watching it for long time. This is the lowest price ever.

So it's probably BF6 and Everwind then, like Intel Advantage is advertising currently.

Not worth reselling the games or the CPU.

I did not use my Amazon account to checkout. So I don't know about what are 2 Free Games. But for CPU at this price is very good. Right now, this CPU on NewEgg is $220.

If you compare benchmark score with other CPU: Higher Score the faster CPU

Yeah, the price isn't bad.

The Ultra 7 270K is also on sale, but not as much of a discount: https://a.co/d/0daiFJs7

But a lot of people like to either sell the games and make the CPU cheaper or just take the games and resell the CPU.

Nice, good deal on the processor itself (if only RAM wasn't so insane). Galaxy Racer, from a bunch of the Criterion aka Burnout and more recent Need for Speed developers, is a fun choice of game too. It releases October 6th.

I have been watching those 2 CPU recently. Yes, I saw that deal is $265. Over $100 more but the benchmark score not that much faster. If you got money, then go ahead. But I'm good with Ultra 5 250K Plus.

Here is the benchmark score for Ultra 7 270K:

Yeah, I know. Those DDR 5 RAM is expensive for now. Just get the CPU now. Wait later for the DD5 Ram discount.

Don't overlook SODIMM memory.

You can get DIMM adapters for as little as $15.

Source on this?

Those are both AAA yet to be released games, making this almost a loss leader.
