The flagship Core Ultra 9 285K is down to $560 from its regular price of $600, saving you $40. As part of a promotional offer from Newegg, the CPU comes with a free 360mm AIO liquid cooler from MSI worth $110, meaning that you end up saving money on a fairly reliable cooler, on top of the two free games in the offer.

You can additionally bundle the CPU with an Asus ROG Maximus Z890 Apex, a premium motherboard which on its own is selling for $674, and comes with a free copy of Star Wars Outlaws. With this bundle deal, you end up saving $260 for a high-end CPU and motherboard combo, along with a liquid cooler, and three games for a total cost of $974.

Similarly, the Core Ultra 7 265K is also on sale and is selling for $299, down from its original price of $352. This CPU also comes bundled with a free MSI 360mm AIO liquid cooler, along with free copies of Civilization VII and Dying Light: The Beast. As part of a special combo offer, you can pair this CPU with the MSI MAG Z890 Tomahawk WiFi motherboard, currently priced at $230. The entire bundle, which includes the CPU, liquid cooler, motherboard, and free games, is available for $429, offering a total saving of $100.

Lastly, the Core Ultra 7 265KF is available for $290, which is $50 less than its regular price of $340 on Newegg. If you end up buying only the CPU, you get a free Patriot Viper Venom 16GB DDR5 6400 RAM kit as well as the two games under the Intel CPU Spring Bundle sale. Additionally you can bundle the CPU with Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Elite WiFi 7 motherboard worth $240. The combined cost comes down to $400, which saves you $130.

While Intel’s Core Ultra 200 series desktop processors may not match the gaming performance of AMD’s X3D lineup, the current bundle deals on Newegg offer excellent overall value. Not only do these bundles pair the chips with compatible components, they also make a compelling case considering how much you'd save compared to buying everything separately.

Intel's Arrow Lake range excels over the previous generation Intel processors in mult-threaded and single-threaded performance, making them fantastic all-around processors, while still offering very respectable gaming performance.
