The Intel Core i3-8350K was a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in October 2017, at an MSRP of $168. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the Coffee Lake architecture with Socket 1151. Core i3-8350K has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 4 GHz. Intel is building the Core i3-8350K on a 14 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on Core i3-8350K, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.
With a TDP of 91 W, the Core i3-8350K consumes a good deal of power, so decent cooling is needed. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2400 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the machine, Core i3-8350K uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the UHD Graphics 630 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i3-8350K, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
