As it often happens lately, the performance of one of the upcoming Intel Core i3 “Coffee Lake” 8th generation, specifically the Intel Core i3-8350K, has been filtered. That as its name indicates will come with the multiplier unlocked and with 4 physical cores, thus being the first Intel Core i3 to do so.
Intel Core i3-8350K on CPU Z
In the first image, you can see just above these words; we can see the new i3-8350K in the integrated CPU-Z benchmark. That can score 503.3 points in mono-core and almost 2000 points in multi-core. A figure not to be despicable if we consider that an Intel Core i7 7700K of 4’2GHz and turbo to 4’5GHZ usually scores 492 points in mono-thread.
AMD Ryzen 3 vs Intel Core i3 Game Performance
In the next test, we saw the i3-8350K again in CPU-Z but compared against an Intel Core i7 6700k. We know that it can score 474 points in mono-thread and 2377 in a multi thread. So, that overcome again by the I3 in the monohull and with a figure not too distant in multicore.
Finally, a test suite of the AIDA64 suite has been shared in order to know more about the platform as well as its memory bandwidth. Once seen the evidence seems to be that Intel wants to hit hard with this 8th generation of Intel Core. We will see that they yield when we can try them first hand.
