Intel has just dropped two of the most exciting CPUs in recent years, in the shape of the new Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus range. The cheaper of these two new chips is the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus, which comes in at just $199 yet packs performance that puts many more expensive chips to shame. AMD’s latest X3D CPUs still rule the roost for peak gaming performance, but for a more balanced option at a great price, the 250K Plus is hard to beat. This balance of price and performance immediately lands this Intel chip a place on our best gaming CPU guide as the top option for around $200, and the best for those seeking a CPU that’s a capable choice for gaming, but who also want some serious multi-core processing power for other workloads. Read on to find out exactly which tasks it excels at, which it doesn’t, and for whom it’s best suited.[site_jumplinks]
