The Core i3-7350K is one of Intel's entry-level Desktop processors. It was released in 2017 with 2 cores and 4 threads. With base clock at 4.2GHz, max speed at 4.2GHz, and a 60W power rating. The Core i3-7350K is based on the Kaby Lake-S 14nm family and is part of the Core i3 series.

Core i3-7350K is also the successor of Intel's last gen Core i3-6300 processor that was based on the Skylake-S and 14nm process and was released in 2015.

That something is the Core i3-7350K. Intel cranks the TDP dial up to 60W on this 2-core 4-thread chip, making it the high-performance counterpart to the 51W Core i3-7320, which is basically the same 14nm chip built with the Kaby Lake-S microarchitecture, but with a lower TDP rating. That chip came away from our first look at the Kaby Lake-S series with an Editor's Choice award, going toe-to-toe with AMD's Ryzen 3 1300X, so it's fair to say we have high hopes for the higher-performance model. Intel still hasn't sampled the chip to the press, so we bought one at retail to put it under the microscope.

But we've also found that, after simple push-button overclocking, the Core i3-7320 offers similar performance to the Core i3-7350K, even when it is also overclocked. But for $70 less. The Core i3-7350K is an impressive chip and offers a better mixture of performance than AMD's Ryzen 3 1300X, no doubt, but in this case, value seekers might opt for its less expensive sibling.

As the higher-priced version of the Core i3-7320, the Core i3-7350K has higher base and Boost frequencies of 4.2 and 4.2 GHz, respectively. That's an increase in base frequency and a bump to boost clocks, but the real advantage should lay in the higher Package Power Tracking (PPT) envelope, which is a measurement of the maximum amount of power delivered to the socket. The Core i3-7320's PPT tops out at 51W, while the motherboard can pump up to 142W to the Core i3-7350K at peak performance. That opens up much more aggressive boost behavior, on both single and multiple cores, that could widen the performance gap beyond what we see on the spec sheet.

Bear in mind, however, that if you already have something like the Core i3-6300, this generation doesn't offer the biggest boost in performance. You might want to wait another year or so before dropping a few hundred bucks, or even opt to splurge on a higher-end but pricier chip.

Intel has been having some trouble as of late which has made it even harder to compete with the incoming wave of Ryzen 3 processors. That has forced the chip maker to be a little more creative and make do with their current product lines. Today we have the Intel Core i3-7350K on hand, which in itself isn’t anything new. It’s basically a refreshed Core i3-6300 with a clock speed boost. We say basically because it’s not a straight refresh however, there’s another change.

Bottom Line, the Intel Core i3-7350K does not get much media attention since it is entry-level 7 Gen Core Kaby Lake-S processor, but it is a very capable processor that still delivers a good computing experience for entry-level users.

If extended overclocking and boost frequencies are trivial matters to you, Intel also offers the Core i3-7320 at $157. It’s still outfitted with 2-cores and 4-threads, but clocks in at a slower 4.1GHz and maxes out at only 4.1GHz.

Now the biggest question is can Intel’s Core i3 processor play games? The answer is simply yes as it got a respectable gaming score of 80% in our benchmarks.

That said, to squeeze out all the potential of this surprisingly potent entry-level chip, you’ll want (and need) to splurge on an enthusiast-grade Z270, Z370, Z390 motherboard.

Fresh from a successful roll-out of mainstream Core i3 CPUs, Intel's attack on AMD now extends down into the entry-level with its Core i3-7350K processors, which the company is making available as of Jan 2017.

i3 7350k vs ryzen 5 1400? help me choose O~O

As far as gaming and buying either of these cpus which one has the most value (including motherboard) per dollar?

inevitabled34th August 24, 2018

I need help comparing CPUs for my first build. i3-7350K vs. i5-2320 (links in the description).

GPUBoss couldn't find the 7350K, so I have nothing to go on except for the GHz and cores.

i3

i5

I still haven't bought the motherboard, yet, so there aren't any compatibility issues to worry about yet. Thanks in advance. :)

Edit: I was requested to post my whole build and my budget, so I will do that below.

As of right now I have:

  • Thermaltake Smart Series 600W 80+ PSU

  • GTX 1050 GPU

  • Arctic Freezer i32 CPU fan

  • Tesseract case (can't find the specific model number)

  • 1x CD/DVD drive

I am currently missing:

  • CPU

  • Motherboard

  • RAM

  • Storage

This list was made by a good friend and is what I'm going off of.

I should also probably add that the list a bit old, as I have been accumulating parts over the past year or so. I will eventually get it all built.

Tylertooo August 16, 2018

The 7350K runs at 4.2GHz and is a beast in single threaded applications. I think there are only about 3 or 4 that are faster. Most of what we do is single threaded. That makes the 7350K a particularly easy choice.

Help me upgrade my "shitty" computer!

So i almost exclusivly play fighting games like Tekken 7, SFV etc. My current specs are fine for it but I enjoy watching streams on my secondary screen and im forced to lower the quality to 480p at times to get a smooth gaming experience, id like to have it at 1080p 60fps when watching twitch but then my game is not nearly as smooth

These are my specs, and im almost certain its the CPU holding me back, im not looking for a big upgrade, just want to make sure my mobo can handle a new, better CPU and perhaps 16gb ram instead of 8gb.

CPU: Core i3-7350K

GPU: 1060 6gb

RAM: 2x 4gb

Mobo: Gigabyte Z270X-Ultra Gaming-CF


Not looking for a crazy upgrade just want to be able to play my games and watch the streams without any stutters or fps drops.

Cheapest option: add 8 more GB of RAM. Hopefully your motherboard has two more slots. Even better add a new CPU and motherboard as well . 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen R5 2600 and a moderately priced mobo can be found for around $250

Y
youmamgay August 18, 2019

Yeah you should really buy a new cpu. Ur motherboard supports the newest cpus so up to the i9 9900k. And you should also put in two more 4gb stocks of ram. A i7 9700k or 8700k should be fine for what you’re doing

Update I’m stupid wrong chipset

Upgraded CPU, PC won’t boot. HELP!

Upgraded from an i3-7350k to an i5-9600k, initially i just swapped them and tried turning on the PC, it turns on for about a second, the fans start spinning and LEDs turn on then they stop. After that I tried a CMOS clear, first by using a paper clip where you’d put the jumper, then by removing the CMOS battery. After that, i put the old CPU in and it worked fine, I updated the BIOS to the most recent version and then put the new CPU back in, and it still won’t boot. I have no idea what to do.

Weeman2412 July 13, 2020

You cannot put a 9600K in to the same motherboard as the 7350k. The number of pins are the same, but the chipset requirement isn't so the the motherboard of the 7350k will not boot with a 9600K in it. Best you can do is the 7700k, that is the strongest possible chip you can fit on your 7350k motherboard.
