Could the quad-core, quad-threaded Core i3-8350K become the new performance star in Intel's mid-range lineup? TweakTown
seems to think so as the site points out that leaked CPU-Z benchmark scores reveal the chip has higher single-threaded performance than the Core i7-7700K:
The leaked Core i3-8350K performance teases the 4C/4T processor @ 4GHz will have multi-threaded performance that will battle against Intel's higher-end Core i7-7700K processor. In leaked benchmarks, we see that the Core i3-8350K scores 503.3 points in single-threaded performance, while the 7700K scores 492 points.
Even the multi-threaded performance is impressive, with the Core i3-8350K pushing 1982 points against the 7700K and its 2648... but remember the Core i7-7700K is a 4C/8T part, with double the CPU threads, but not double the multi-threaded CPU performance.
This chip is expected on October 10.
