The most powerful quad-core on the market
The new Core i3-9350KF is actually an improved Core i3-8350K, to which an aggressive Turbo Boost up to 4.6 GHz has been added. And this gave a performance increase of 5 – 10%, thanks to which it became not only the fastest quad-core chip in the LGA1151v2 ecosystem, but also among all quad-core chips on the market. The previous leader Ryzen 5 2500X in terms of power is inferior to the new product by 10 – 20% (depending on the task). This is if we take pure numbers without enabling multithreading.
And the king is naked
Ultimately, however, this title carries no value. The fact is that at the start of sales, the i3-9350KF is actually estimated to be 2 times higher than the younger brother i3-9100F. Although, the performance gap between them is about 20%. But more to come. The announced price of the Core i3-9350KF is only a few dollars less than the six-core Core i5-9400F. And if you focus on prices in real stores, it turns out that for the same money you can also buy some AMD with eight cores. For example, Ryzen 2700 with multi-threading support and auto overclocking up to 4.1 GHz. And this, you know, is already a completely different weight category.
Wait for discounts
Therefore, right now, with such alternatives, the Core i3-9350KF looks, to put it mildly, not the most rational purchase. It will be of interest primarily to overclockers with specific tasks such as overclocking exactly 4 physical cores. And it will only make sense to return to this conversation if Intel reduces the price of a chip by about 25 – 30%.
