Intel core i3 7350k benchmarks, outperforms core i5 6400 & 4670k

There has been a lot of talk that an Intel Core i3 processor with the multiplier unlocked for overclocking could do a lot of damage to the sales of the Core i5 range, it seems that after all it was true since the first benchmarks of the Core i3 7350K show formidable performance.

The Core i3 7350K impresses in its first performance tests

The Core i3 7350K belongs to the Kaby Lake family and will be the first Core i3 processor with the multiplier unlocked for overclocking, this chip will reach a maximum serial frequency of 4.2 GHz and with this it is capable of offering superior performance to the i5 6400 and Core i5 4670K from previous generations. The Core i3 7350K has been passed through Geekbench to give results in single-core and multi-core of 5137 points and 10048 points respectively. With this we can think that this humble processor with a good dose of overclocking could even reach or exceed the performance of the Core i7 processors of the Sandy Bridge family.

The Core i3 7350 is expected for a price between 150 and 180 dollars, which would be a sensational alternative to the Core i5 that are more expensive and that can even be overcome as already seen. Like all Kaby Lake processors, it will arrive under the manufacturing process at 14 nm + FinFET, which has reached a great maturity.

With the Core i3 7350K Intel is preparing to offer a great rival to the new AMD Summit Ridge processors that will arrive in the month of January based on the AMD Zen microarchitecture that promises a great leap forward in performance compared to the FX Vishera.
