35% off @ $259.99 Intel Core Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265K - 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) up to 5.5 GHz

Afaik this one's good to go. They've rolled out a bunch of firmware/BIOS updates and increased performance on the whole 200-series by quite a bit over the last 3-6 months. For someone on a budget, you could do worse but I'd probably still recommend a 9800X3D and call it a day but that's just me.
 
This deal is back and includes Battlefield 6 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFK2MH2D/?tag=thefpsreview-20

My only problem with Arrow Lake is it being still born. Latest rumor is they didn't even improve the refresh for Copilot+ AI certification. There is uncertainty whether they will even bother with the refresh. I think it will go to OEM/ODM as they like the new shiny to advertise every year.

Better off with a 7700X for the same money, and be on a live platform, if you can't afford to pony up for a 3D. Or a 7600X for a $179.
