holy crap a case queue unlocked processor as an i3 this is exciting but that's not all it also comes with hyper-threading that's right two cores four threads one I 373 50k this launch from Intel may be a bold response to the looming threat that is AMD's rise in release or maybe it's simply a follow up to the pentium g 32:58 anniversary edition an overclockable dual-core that lacked hyper threading presenting some pretty serious issues in some modern games that wouldn't even launch unless they detected four processor threads like far cry 4 for example which does work with this 73 50k so it's a category killer then well maybe not the G 32 58 was $75 in the i3 73 50k is a hundred and eighty dollars and hyper threads are still not real cores which you can learn more about up here but for now let's see how worth it the first unlocked core i3 really is OK to start us off there's the specs it's got 2 cores and 4 threads like I mentioned earlier but it also has 4 megabytes of cache so it's exactly half of a core i7 7700 K in every way thus far but the story changes when you look at clock speed a 7700 K boost to 4.5 gigahertz 7350 k drops that down but not by much just to 4.2 gigahertz and that's also not the whole story if someone buys a K series i3 I fully expect and hope that they plan to overclock it that's the whole point so anyways I got mine up to 5 gigahertz easily with one point four volts but with some tuning I'd expect that you'd be able to drop that down to like 1.3 5 volts or maybe even lower I stress us at it for a long time it was rock-solid I'm not the only one either people are getting 5 gigahertz on this chip all over the internet it's an exciting time to be an i3 like before though you'll need an overclockable chipset so dead series if you want to learn more about the Z 270 motherboards be updated onboard graphics and the finer details of Intel's latest platform check out this video up here but ok enough of that let's talk about performance this is not an easy answer I put our 70 350 K on the bench along with an asus rog z2 70 Maximus 9 code 16 gigs of g.skill ddr4 ram a corsair h 100 GTX v2 extreme and a Founders edition NVIDIA GTX 1080 just to remove potential GPU bottlenecks and games on the same setup I also ran a core i5 7400 the 7400 it's a true quad core with for total threads that cost 182 dollars just two dollars more than the 73 50k to do this we use the 7700 K and adjusted hyper threading settings and multiplier settings to get pretty much equivalent performance it works trust me and if you don't believe it check out this video remember no K so no overclocking it's not an option for most people the first comparison that I want to do between our 7400 and our 73 50k is Cinebench the 23 50k has a way higher clock speed at 5 gigahertz versus 3.5 so it should crush in single core performance and it did so all as well except that it also crushed in multi-threaded those speedy little hyper threaded cores not only crushed in Cinebench but also pull the victory in our 7-zip test and our gimp image editing through asus rog real bench that's four to zero so far but before you go out and spend your 182 dollars on an i3 73 50k and two cans of pop there is also video encoding to consider the i-5 7400 did win the real bench encoding test but not by much then there's gaming ah man there is no difference but we neither of these processors or the top-of-the-line 7700 K when testing Deus Ex mankind divided so I guess I can go ahead and never test that when comparing CPUs ever again so anyways moving on in GTA 5 rise of the Tomb Raider and ashes of the singularity average performance was very similar there were some differences in minimums with the 73 50k falling behind although it was a little inconsistent and not that major either way so in conclusion the Intel I 373 50k costs more than we feel like it should but I was also expecting it to not be that great considering quad cores have been considered the minimum for gaming for quite some time now but it destroyed so that's pretty cool other things to consider could be DirectX 12 and Vulcan but I don't expect those to have performance impacts and actual games for quite some time now and then there's Rison if you're looking to upgrade your rig anytime soon you should probably wait for Rison let's all hope that's a strong launch tunnel bear is
