Intel will bring overclockable Core i3 “Kaby Lake” Processor

By November 17, 2016 News No Comments

Like the Pentium 20 years Anniversary Edition, the dual core G3258 with unlocked multiplier, now Intel’s lineup will have a third overclockable “K” processor SKU, besides the top-dog Core i7-7700K and the performance-segment Core i5-7600K. Intel is planning to spice things up for the sub-$200 market with an overclockable dual-core part, the Core i3-7350K.

The Core i3-7350K will be the company’s first overclockable Core i3 part. Will feature an unlocked base-clock multiplier, letting you easily overclock it. The dual-core chip will feature HyperThreading, enabling 4 logical CPUs for the OS to address. Out of the box, it will come with clocks of 4.00 GHz, and 4.20 GHz Turbo Boost. It will also feature 4 MB of L3 cache.

Interestingly, its TDP will be rated at 91W, the same as overclockable quad-core parts. The chip could likely come in a special PIB package that lacks a stock cooling solution.
The chip is rumored to be priced at US $177.
