Everyone apparently hates this chip and ends their videos and articles with “just get an i5 for the extra few dollars”
The 7350k was a terrible deal, I’ll say that everyday. But now that it’s a 4/4 cpu it’s a great deal for gaming. It performs 28% better than a 7350k, and 3% better than a 7600. But the real kicker is it is only outperformed by 1% in qc performance and is better in single core by 2%. Integer and float-point speed is in favor of the i3-8350k by 11% and 13% respectively in single and quad core. I know that the i5 now have 6 cores but in games it’s not going to be a used [in most games] as much as higher clock speed. Also, these can overclock easy as there are only 4 cores to cool and not 6 as in the i5 bad i7’s cases. So why is it that the i3 isn’t recommended by almost any reviewer?
