opinions on the i3 7350k

[manlykeweaver465]

was watching linus's video on the i3 7350k in games and was on par to the i5 6400 and i think a little cheaper 

 

would you still rather go for the i5 for the 4 cores or go for the i3

Of course the i5. Jesus christ did anyone even consider the 7350K? Understand this:

 

Cost: i3-7350K rig + a Z270 board (since those are required to OC the chip) + a decent cooler >>> i5-6500 + H110/B150/H170 board

Now performance: OC'd i3-7350K <<<< i5-6500.

 

See, the 7350K could be a good CPU, but the price killed it. Dammit it costs as much as an i5 and is still essentially a dual-core.

unless your on a really low budget it doesnt seem worth getting the 7350k but if your budget was so long you would most likely be looking at a 7100 not the 7350 unless you really really wanted overclocking but you would then have to spend more money on a z board that supports overclocking so it is kind of in a weird spot but im glad intels trying new things by adding it

If you dont have your mobo het, i would go with An older amd chip, like the AMD FX-9370 4.4GHz 8-Core

Exactly, not worth it even to "learn OC'ing" justification, I miss the days any motherboard could OC though that could somewhat make the i3 7350k more appealing.

Linus testing was bad.he tested in 4k, ofc the CPUs were on par, the bottleneck was on the GPU.

Check other tests If you want, but i guess the i5 Will be better because you dont need a z270 board.

btw im not looking to buy this i just wanted to see everyones opinion, its quite expensive £200 in the uk i think actually

FX chips are CRAP shitty cpu's.

don't buy that and its 8370 btw... and its a shitty cpu

The i5 is better because 4 real physical cores is better than 2 phys. core with hyper threading.

just look at GTA 5 benchmark with the i3... it got 48 FPS and the i5 got 60..

that prooves that 4 physical cores performs way better than 2 with hyper threading...

A thread is not a core, don't forget !

This, all the videos seem to neglect the price of the board. 

 

I got my i5-6500 for $165 during black friday, and picking up a board for $54.. There is no way that an unlocking i3 is better value..

I would go for a FX-83X0 or a i5-6400 over that OCable i3...
