Intel Core i3-8350K and Core i3-8100 "Coffee Lake" Detailed

[rtwjunkie]

so for like a 10years there was i3/i5/i7 WITH NO REASON why there is ONLY ODD numbers.
...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?

Does it REALLY matter? How does what Intel names them mean they are incompetent? As long as you know what each model in the lineup has for cores/threads, then all is fine.

The one in the Wii U, the Xbox 360 (the PS3 was a 7 core), the original Phenom X3 and Phenom II X3, and that's it I think. Oh and any unlocked Phenom II X2 with a single unstable core. Some people even had a 5 core thanks to an unlocked 960T.

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?

Wonder how long will that intel cut g4560 myth go on. The demand surprised intel so there were storage shortages(they probably just thought it will sell the same amount as normal pentiums and i3s have usually sold). All rumors about cutting g4560s started just from hardware.fr guessing. I think that happens all the time when there's a product that has very good perf/price structure and is not really meant to sell unusual amount of quantities(like opteron 144 in the early millennium).

Maybe the fisical cores of an i5 6/6 work better than the HT on a 4/8

It is physical. Sorry, but that was really bad.

Yes, my mistake, didn't check the spelling.
In spanish Physical is written Físico, that's the reason of the error.

Ahh, ok. That makes much more sense now.

It might be close, depending on the work load, but I think the 6 core will be faster, if it can clock as high as the 4/8.
