Intel i3 7350K (4.2Ghz) GeekBench Benchmarks Leaked Allegedly Outperforms an i5 6400 & 4670K CPUs

[Tech_Dreamer]

Welcome to the WCCF Salt mine tour, Please keep your arms & Legs & head inside the salt-mines ride at all times

 

 

The Upcoming series of intel CPU's are promising real gems , the new line up for the first time is putting out one of its i-3 version of the mainstream entry level cpu with it's cores unlocked! The Intel Core i3 7350K benchmark scores have been leaked from a source & it looks promising , The new chip is aimed at a better gaming budget platform & looking at this results it is supposed to be as powerful as an unlocked i5 from previous years

 

The Core i3 7350K is to run at 4.2GHz speed out of the box

 

 

 

These scores when compared to the previous generation  i5-6400 score of 9982  &  i5-4670K score of 10036 promises a significant performance bump if it's true in a real world scenario

i3-7350K has a dual-core  with four threaded processor with a base clock of 4.0GHz that can be boost up to 4.2GHz, 4MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 91 watts. The CPU is allegedly going for a retail price of $177-$180 range according to some sites, expect to pay a minimum of that

The Intel Core i3 7350K is the first of its kind. It’s the first ever i3 chip we’ve seen from Intel that actually brings an overclocking friendly unlocked multiplier to the table. Which is something that so many enthusiasts have been calling for and for quite a long time too. The i3 7350K is rated at a TDP of 91W and features 4MB of L3 cache. It’s a dual core, hyperthreaded part which means it can execute up to four threads simultaneously.

 

 

Something with a performance ticks like this was introduced back on the intels anniversary edition pentium processor G3258 Pentium Anniversary cpu which managed to be seriously budget friendly & delivered good enough gaming performance for budget users when it came to gaming , some alleged it to reach near AMD's thingamagig numbers like 5ghz

The overclocking-friendly Core i3 7350K could be Kaby Lake's budget gaming hero

 

 

This is the only leaked benchmark i could find on the site so far, will update soon , The AMD's beast of a CPU code named zen is to be out this January , would be interesting to see this going head to head with it,

You may have forgotten to mention the mention of an Asus Strix Z270 board

But eeeehhh.... would still prefer an i5.

[stationvsbox]

glad I haven't spent shit on computer stuff yet

[Scruffy90]

Glad i'm still on Ivy Bridge. With my mobo slowly dying, may be time to consider an upgrade, assuming that the i5 and i7 have similar gains.

So many salt. Damn.

If it's priced at $180, it's no budget hero.

 

Also what was the speed of 4670K? I must be blind or they "forgot" that. Blind is what I am.

There is another locked variant i3-7100 priced at $122 , not sure if it'll amount to anything , 4670k on that geekbenchscore was clocked at 3.39ghz

Must be stock, I'm sure the 4670k is much faster when overclocked since it has four legit cores. It's weird how a single core i3 gets 5k score and doubles to 10k. I mean, it's even more useless that 4670k has a single core score of 4k and barely double over 10k on all four cores, it's a 2k increase on other cores after single core for that processor.

At 180 its not "budget" imo.

Has there been any word on pentium/celeron kaby lake cpu's? if they're even making them, it'd be interesting to see how they perform if this is how the i3 does.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

I don't think anyone would not overclock that. As @jagdtigger showed, if overclocked, it's much better.

well if the i3 is beating an i5, i can only imagine what the i5 and i7 will bring.

Apparently their point is that it beats them all on stock, which is not quite right.

Was this benched on 32-bit windows?

Saying it's 64bit win 10

Add mobo and comes to 280. Go up to 400 to add everything else on the cheap (PSU, RAM, Case, HDD) and add a 1050ti or 470. Is sub 600 and delivering 2x the performance of the PS4 Plus.

 

That might not be heroic but it is pretty damn good nevertheless if you assume all new parts.

I swear to god I'm really blind today. But those scores are really way off when compared to every single one in the link I posted. We'll see.

Yes, a 4-4.2GHz i3 is beating a 2.7-3.3GHz i5 in single core, an by a little bit in multi core as well...

 

But hey, I guess they could market it as "The Best Dual Core Ever!". It would be so 2006 I'm already feeling younger!

[VerticalDiscussions]

Fml, allow me to sweeten this thread, its too darn salty as of now!

 

[NumLock21]

Oh, they were salt shakers. I thought they were dancing light bulbs.

The generation before that, still rocking pretty good . i7-3770k 3.51GHz(Stock at 1.12vCore)

Holy shit did someone notice the TDP of 91W...? That's insane, how is it so high?

Adding the fact that you need a Z Class motherboard really makes it not budget friendly.

Intel's numbers have been creeping up lately. Almost feels like efficiency improvements aren't a thing given for desktop SKUs. Or it's that much difficult to get >4GHz on these (ever shrinking) smaller nodes.

91W is basically the TDP of a 6700K. I don't get how it could be quite so high and what would make the .4 GHz speed increase over an i3 6300 make it require so much more power. 

 

Also, i3s don't have Turbo Boost.

 

Gonna call B.S. on this article cuz A. WCCF and B. Those numbers just look way too off.

What's up with all the salt graphics? I personally wouldn't find it terribly surprising nor rage-inducing that an i3 at 4.2 GHz and a marginal IPC bump does about as well as a locked 3.3 GHz i5.
