Intel’s Kaby Lake Core i3-7350K processor could be a beast for gaming

Intel’s third overclocker-friendly SKU from its 7th generation Core “Kaby Lake” processor family, the Core i3-7350K, is shaping up to be an interesting option for gaming PC builds, reports TechPowerup.

This follows a number of leaked benchmarks posted to Geekbench, where it stood toe-to-toe with Intel’s newer i5 chips.

The i3 scored 5,137 points in the single-threaded tests, and 10,048 in multi-threaded tests, in comparison to the Core i5-6400 quad-core chip which scores 3,686 points single-threaded, and 9,982 points multi-threaded.

The i3-7350K is expected to launch for around $177 alongside the other Kaby Lake chips in January 2017.
