The Intel Core i3-8350k in 2022 – Are Quad Cores Obsolete?

The Intel Core i3-8350k is a low-mid range CPU launched in late 2017. This chip was the first spec bump the i3 line had seen on desktop, and their performance back in the day was beyond impressive. However how does it hold up in modern titles, with some spice thrown in for fun!

Building a Budget PC can be tough. Not only are GPUs and CPUs so incredibly expensive, but they can be hard to find on a budget... But, there are tips and tricks to finding you your dream Budget GPU, and pairing it with a CPU that will give you the performance you want!

I bought this for my GFs build when it came out years ago. I think I paid something like £135 new for it. It was great, but I wouldn't buy one used for even half that these days. The 12100f is less than £95, so it just doesn't make sense unless you already have an old mobo in the wings for it.

I have an i5-4690k quad core. It works perfectly with all apps

Hello there! I’ve looked on the internet and I couldn’t find anything with the Ryzen 3 3200g vs the i3 8350K when not overclocked (besides userbenchmark) Could you test them with their intergated graphics and a graphics card to see which one is better?

nice to see that youtube can only handle 360p.

i have been looking for confirmation that this CPU is causing me issues and here it is. the cyberpunk 2077 bench results are nowhere near what im getting (i have an rtx 3060ti, 16 GB of DDR4, an SSD) min 73 frames would be my max. i do not know why its being so bad, there is no thermal throttling going on. Worse of all the good upgrade options that dont require a new motherboard are all hardly available in my country.

Got one yesterday for 50€. I had a Z370 mini ITX mobo lying around. Do you think that a Be Quiet! Dark Rock 4 is enough to OC this chip, or should I go for an AIO?

I have a quad core and is not enough for cpu demanding games like Battlefield. Also even for the games that is enough if i open a discord or something else too, the usage goes to 100%.

Hello, i have the same CPU running with rtx 3060 and 16GB ram but in all of my games and from the ones in the video such as Overwatch and CSGO im getting half the FPS number and the CPU is almost constantly running at 100% in game. Games like PUBG are unplayble on it, sometimes getting 20 fps or even 1 frame per a few seconds. I tried what reddit told me to do and that was display driver unnistaller and install GPU drivers all over but it didnt work. I have no idea whats causing the CPU to perform so badly. Perhaps you might have a tip for me...

Saw your 9600k have one from 2020 build ($200 ish) my earlier chip was a skylake i5 quad core though.

hi just a quick question, i am wondering if i’d be able to stream minecraft on an i3-8350k and 1650.

Hi I don't if you able to answer me but yeah, so the other day I asked my self what my cellphone cpu is equivalent to desktop cpu and if I compare the snapdragon 888 vs i3-8350k and there pretty close so let's imagine we can install windows on phone and play desktop game will the snapdragon 888 perform similar to the i3-8350k ?
