The editors liked
Four physical cores
Good mix of gaming and application performance
Low price
Capable stock cooler
The Core i38350K overclocks well and does great on gaming loads
The editors didn't like
Can't be overclocked and lacks HyperThreading
Conclusion
Price. Limited value for money
Locked multiplier
No Bseries motherboards (yet)
No HyperThreading
Respective to the rest of the lineup and Ryzen competition
The 8350K is almost off in no man's land
We'd rather pay a little bit more for a much better i58400. Intel's platform is expensive (for now) and the 8350K exacerbates the issue with no box coo

This is a CPU that sits near the bottom of most of our charts. It is also a CPU that is only $117, or less than most motherboards, sticks of ECC memory, network cards, drives, and even the chassis one would use with the CPU for a server. There are cases w...

Intel's Core i3-8100 offers four physical cores for a mere ~$120, which is a tremendous value compared to the previous generation Intel models. We'll be even more impressed when reasonably priced B350 motherboards come to market. $128.59...

If you are on a tight budget and haven't upgraded your CPU in a few generations, the Core i3 8100 is a very competent offering at around $120 USD. This 3.6GHz quad-core CPU performed very well in our tests: almost always faster than the Ryzen 3 1300X, gen...
Abstract: There's never been a better time to buy a processor for under $125. AMD's latest processors have shaken up the low-cost landscape, so now you can find quad-core models with gaming-capable integrated graphics for a mere $100. Intel's response has brought h...
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...
Superior IPC to AMD, Excellent OC on Core i3-8350K, Bulletproof platform, Both chips energy efficient, Great motherboard choice
Z370 ups platform cost, No Turbo ability, IGP not as good as AMD
The mainstream end of the PC market has become more interesting since Intel launched quad-core Core i3 chips and AMD, most recently, responded with second-generation Ryzen processors armed with class-leading integrated graphics.The choice of which com...
