Of the leaks, we already know that in the Intel Coffee Lake processor family there will be interesting Core i3 models that are ready to challenge the current Intel Core i7 models. In particular, the quad-core Core i3-8350K even without overclocking, and it has an unlocked multiplier, is able to compete with the Core i7-7700K processor. Both processors carry four physical computing cores, but the Core i7-7700K supports Hyper-Threading technology, which gives 8 processing threads versus 4 for Core
i3, and runs at 4.2 GHz, while Core i3 runs at 4.0 GHz.
As the leaks confirm , the advantage of the Core i7-7700K over the frequency did not allow it to be ahead of the Core i3-8350K in single-threaded mode. The first in the CPU-Z test scored 492 points, and the second - 503.3 points. In multi-threaded mode, the "8-core" processor predictably turns out to be faster than the 4-core processor, gaining 2648 points against 1982 from the future contender. If that's right, Intel engineers did a good job of fine-tuning the architecture of Kaby
Lake, and all along with the improved technology of 14 ++ and the increased number of cores compared to its predecessors, leads to the fact that Kaby Lake models can become a welcome purchase for those who have a couple of last Years did not want to upgrade their PC.
Models of Intel Core i3 processors of the new generation will actually become what today are models of the Intel Core i5 series. If Intel retains the prices of Core i3, it will be great. It remains to wait for the first week of October, when the desktop processors Intel Coffee Lake will be officially presented and released. Related Products :
