Tower Plus EBT2250, processor upgrade

I have a Tower Plus EBT2250 with the Ultra 7 265 (non-K) processor.

I'm thinking of upgrading to the Arrow Lake Ultra 7 270K processor when it becomes available. Will there be a BIOS update available to work with this processor? I have the 1.13.0 BIOS now.

Thanks

The EBT2250 tower plus desktop can be upgraded up to a top tier Arrow Lake Ultra 9 285K.  https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-desktop-computers/dell-tower-plus/spd/dell-ebt2250-desktop/useebt2250wcto01?redirectTo=SOC

Unless you are referring to the Arrow Lake Refresh CPUs.  There is no one able to predict the future release of BIOS update with microcode.

@Chino de Oro​ Yes, I meant the Arrow Lake Refresh CPU - sorry if that wasn't clear.

But it's good to know I have the 285K as an (expensive) upgrade option. I will be watching future BIOS updates for Arrow Lake Refresh CPU additions.
