Intel Core i3-8350K and Core i3-8100 "Coffee Lake" Detailed
It turns out that the Core i3-8300 isn't the only upcoming quad-core processor bearing the value-segment Core i3 badge; with Intel planning two other quad-core SKUs, according to leaked company documents that surfaced on the forumscape. The two other SKUs are the Core i3-8350K and the Core i3-8100. While the specs-sheet puts out only a limited number of specifications, it confirms that both the SKUs are quad-core, and that the i3-8350K features an unlocked multiplier. It also confirms that Core i3 quad-core chips (including the i3-8300) lack HyperThreading.
The Core i3-8100 could position itself at the lower-end of the value-segment, below the Core i3-8300. The Core i3-8350K could be a logical successor to the unlocked i3-7350K, which is being sold at $189. One can expect a pricing overlap between this unlocked quad-core SKU, and the cheapest "locked" six-core SKU bearing the Core i5 badge, such as the Core i5-8400. The i3-8350K is clocked at 4.00 GHz out of the box, and the i3-8300 at 3.60 GHz. Both chips lack Turbo Boost. The i3-8350K has a TDP rated at 91W, which is marginally below the 95W rating of its six-core siblings. The i3-8100 has its TDP rated at 65W.

Meanwhile you can sit back and relax because we're just three to six months away from Coffee Lake release.
I also didn't believe the 4/8 rumor for the i3's.Maybe the fisical cores of an i5 6/6 work better than the HT on a 4/8
Incredible.
Ahhhhhhh. Tech reporting is getting so frustrating. The table clearly shows that the i3-8300 is at 4.0 GHz NOT 3.60 GHz. It also shows the i3-8300 at 65W. This is the better low power solution if the table is right.
Which is it guys: 3.6 GHz or 4.0 GHz for the i3-8300?
Intel would definitely have made AMD worry with a 4 core / 8 threads i3, even if that was confusing for most consumers.
As an AMD fan, I would like to thank them for dropping the ball here :)
...When they FINALLY have a reason to use EVEN numbers by introducing new product i6-6core CPU, They decide to FUCK THE WHOLE SYSTEM UP?
Is really EVERYONE in Intel SO UNCOMPETENT?
And what's wrong with salvaging of chips? 3 threads are 3 threads, it'll ALWAYS be better than just 2 threads.
What is wrong with having a 3 threads CPU? It's better than a dual core. It's not like HEDT Intel processors aren't failed cheap Xenons right? Or the i5s aren't not so good i7s.
These new i3s should mean the Pentium line should be 2C/4T from now on, which means still awesome value for budget builds. Now why did Intel cut the g4560 if the next arch is weeks away and is going to be pretty much the same as the g4560?
