i3 7350k worth it?

[TheKingOfGaming]

I was looking through micro center's website and I found this; the i3 7350k for $130. While people were kinda hating on the processor originally due to the price-point, I think it's a pretty good deal now. It's also $150 on Amazon. What do you guys think? To put that in perspective, the i3 7100 is $115 on Amazon and $120 at Microcenter.

Wouldn't you get 90% of the performance at 50% of the cost if you went with a G4560?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO That CPU should never have existed it's stupid. Get a Ryzen 1500 instead

Yeah he would, but for the same price he could get Ryzen which would be better

Depends. If he's looking to upgrade his current set up, then it'd be a huge amount more.

Also the cheapest Ryzen processor is still $30 more than this one. For those at that end of the budget spectrum, it likely matters.

They're still around, they just seem to be more expensive than they used to be.

NOOOPE nope nope.

That's a huge no-no.

Don't even bother with it.

Get the G4560, or wait for ryzen 3, or go ryzen 5 with a B350 board if you care about overclocking.

The Pentium doesn't have hyperthreading though, and the single threaded performance of the i3 7350k is better.  Also until ryzen 3 comes out, the cheapest ryzen processor is the 1400 at $160, and is comparatively worse at gaming.

That's the in-store only price.

the G4560 does have hyperthreading, in fact.

I Forgot about that :),  But the performance of it is still worse. I'm just saying that for $10 more than the 7100, you get a higher base frequency and overclocking support.
