PC builders looking to upgrade their hardware can currently access a bundle deal featuring Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. As part of Intel's Gamer Days promotion, purchasing the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus processor through Newegg includes the game, alongside Star Wars: Galactic Racer and a Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 AIO cooler.
Bundle Value and Performance Findings
Hardware reporting indicates that while the CPU is currently priced at $219.99—$20 above its standard launch price—the addition of the two games (valued at $119.98) and the liquid cooler provides significant added value. Using the promo code BTS3113 further reduces the total package cost to $209.
Regarding the CPU's performance, GamesRadar+ hardware editor Duncan Robertson notes that the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus distinguishes itself from the previous Raptor Lake generation. In testing, the processor maintained temperatures below 65 degrees Celsius under load when paired with an AIO cooler, offering a stable experience for both gaming and content creation.
Considerations for Buyers
- Platform Longevity: While the 250K Plus delivers strong value, the long-term support for its current motherboard socket remains a point of consideration for those planning future upgrades.
- Cooler Quality: The included Cooler Master AIO has not been independently tested in the report, though it is expected to operate with less noise than standard air cooling solutions.
- Market Context: The promotion is specifically tied to the Intel Gamer Days sale, making it a relevant option for users already operating on the current Intel socket or those building a new rig.
