Core i3-8350K Details

The Intel Core i3-8350K stands out in the desktop processor landscape due to its unlocked multiplier, a rare feature for an entry-level Core i3 chip. Launched in October 2017, this processor is built on Intel's Coffee Lake architecture and is designed for the LGA-1151 socket, using a 14 nm manufacturing process. Despite its age, the i3-8350K offers a high base clock speed of 4.0 GHz, making it a compelling option for users who prioritize single-threaded performance and enjoy overclocking. It features four cores and four threads, with a TDP of 91 W, indicating a need for adequate cooling under load.

The processor includes an integrated UHD Graphics 630 GPU with a maximum frequency of 1.15 GHz and supports up to three displays. It also supports DDR4-3000 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a maximum capacity of 64 GB. Key features include support for AVX, AVX2, and AES-NI instructions, as well as hardware virtualization technologies like Intel VT-x and VT-d. ECC memory support is included, making it suitable for light server or workstation environments.

In benchmark testing, the Core i3-8350K achieves an overall score of 5627, ranking #401 among 2060 processors. Its single-core score of 5989 places it at #274, demonstrating strong performance in tasks reliant on high clock speeds. The multicore score of 5084 ranks it #575, indicating that while it scales well across multiple cores, its primary strength lies in single-threaded applications. It outperforms several higher-tier processors like the Core i5-6600K and Core i7-3970X in single-core tests, highlighting its efficiency in modern workloads.

When compared to the top performers in the industry, the i3-8350K is significantly outpaced by current flagship CPUs like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX and Core Ultra 9 285K. However, for users seeking a cost-effective, overclockable processor for gaming or productivity, it remains a viable choice. As of March 2026, the i3-8350K is best suited for budget-conscious builders or enthusiasts who value overclocking headroom and don't require the latest features or extreme multi-threaded performance.
