Notes
The Core i3-8350K features 4 cores and 4 threads with unlocked multiplier on Coffee Lake, boosting up to 4.0 GHz. This unusual i3 offered overclocking capability at budget pricing, appealing to enthusiasts on tight budgets. Despite lacking hyperthreading, the 4 cores with high clocks provided decent gaming performance when overclocked. While several generations old, it remains viable for entry-level gaming. The unlocked multiplier was rare for i3 tier, making it unique for budget overclocking experiments.
