Hot on the heels of yesterday's leak of the Core Ultra 9 285K "Arrow Lake" retail box, we have pictures of the boxes the Core Ultra 7 265K/KF, and the Core Ultra 5 245K/KF. These are simpler paperboard boxes that retain essential box-art design of the 285K, but lack the fancy jewel-case. The processor comes in the usual plastic blister inside the box, along with the case badge. This time around, Intel is not releasing a "KF" variant of the Core Ultra 9 285K, but if down the line it does, you can expect it to come in a similar simple retail package as the 265K/KF.

The Intel Core Ultra main brand is positioned prominently on the front face. Much like the 14th Gen Core, the Intel brand is displayed in the same font size as Core. Below the two, is the Unlocked designation, followed by "Series 2," which indicates the 200 processor model numbering sequence. The top-right corner has the brand extension (3, 5, 7, 9). Intel is expected to launch its Core Ultra 200-series "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors in late-October, 2024.

And they're... black... I can't believe it! :eek:
And they are all unlocked! I maintain that a $666€ item has to be delivered with at least a padlock on the box.

I wonder, if I get one of these, will the IGP match my trusty old GTX 1060?
Not that I'm planning to upgrade, but it's an intriguing thought to run without a video card. I've never done that before.

Edit: I mean one of these CPUs, not one of these boxes ;)

Let's be honest here, people wouldn't care if the CPU blister came in bubble wrap and a small brown box. It's all just waste.

Why would you RMA? If it broke, it should be replaced under warranty. If it didn't... you got two more years of coverage to replace it if it goes under.

There was a point in having eye-catching boxes back when people actually went into a shop to buy. But today? How do you say "pointless" in English?

You mean you don't want maggots on the landfill to think "what a cool looking box" as they take a bite? :(
Oh wait, they don't because they don't eat ink and that shiny plasticky material on the outside. My bad. :D

On a serious note, I have a shelf full of PC part boxes as a display thing. Some of them look really nice. But I honestly wouldn't give a damn if they were all plain cardboard, either.

It didn't break as such....just became so unstable as to be practically useless, and I love the way you make it so simple....ring this Number and get a next day replacement.....nope.... start the rma procedure through your purchasing etailer, send off your cpu to be evaluated and wait.....

I think there's bit of confusion here. You said "RMA", I thought you were just trying to return the product. Didn't realize you were just trying to get it serviced.
That's always fun. Last time I needed a motherboard serviced and was told "yeah, AsRock doesn't fix anything in your country, but we'll be happy to assist if you ship it to Germany". (Fun fact: they weren't/didn't.)

Nope, it won't. Judging by the specs, it's less than half of A380 and the igp is of the same gen (Alchemist). And A380 is already slower significantly.

Ah, forgot it's still Alchemist, thought it was Battlemage. Not sure what I was thinking, Battlemage is still a while away.

You would be surprised by the number of hobbyists/enthusiasts who appreciate the interaction with good-looking packaging for their expensive stuff. Business-to-business is pretty much the only domain where I've seen plain cardboard or transparent blisters being extensively used, anything that's sold to a consumer tends to be prettier.

PC cases/monitors are the exception, but that's probably because the ink would be too expensive. :D They do make an exception for some monitors though

I wonder how they're gonna do the Black Edition for CN markets now... Black Hole Edition? Singularity—wait no, that actually sounds cool. Uhhh... Black Dragon Edition! Perfect. Gotta name everything targeted at the Chinese 'Dragon' or they won't know it's for them. /s

Calling it the Black Loong Edition sounds odd.
