This is the same video from yesterday, so if you have already watch it no need to do that again. The results are exactly the same, I just had to make a few small changes to the b-roll. Sorry for any inconvenience caused guys.

Also there will be new content tomorrow!

In 2017 the fastest dual core should not cost more than 100 . Why pay premium for 2004 core count tech... But seriously, Intel is overpricing their products due to lack of competition

[SilverforceX]

Spot on with the analysis and conclusion. K expense for an i3 makes no sense as the platform to support it makes it way too expensive beyond budget builds. That and the OC giving so small a performance boost while close to doubling power usage is nuts.

[magicdevil]

Expensive as fuck for a dual core, I got the 2500k 5 years ago for the same price.

Kaby lake is definitely not worth it when you got comparable Zen cpus around the corner with double the core count. Quad core is so 2010, dual core is what I used 10+ years ago.

[bart_set]

Nice. Thx. I bought i7 6700k few months ago and now I'm happy that I did not wait for new Kaby Lake CPUs.

[petercruz]

I literally love your videos. I actually think theyre the most informative on YT

[Tuchulu]

I don't always break NDAs, but when I do, I do it twice

[strikepaw]

Lower end Ryzen chips better destroy this overpriced piece of trash... Thanks for the video!

[AFPMPU]

$180 for an unlocked dual core could possibly be intels' biggest joke of the decade

[FGOS]

big disappointment. I recently build a G3258 budget rig on my channel but fairly quickly realised that dual core would be a hamper. despite the still awesome single thread performance. like you say, too little too late. would have been a peach a few years back

[haroldasraz]

Cheers for the reiview. Some good really good points, especially for anyone who wants to build a gaming rig sub 550 Eur.

[AronHallan]

Moral of the story, don't be a cheap ass and pay a bit more for a nice i5

[NamAim]

I was watching this video when you took it down. For a second, I thought Intel got to you with an NDA! Glad to see that's not the case.

[Joshua]

thnx to this video im Happy about my i5 6400 :, ) more now.

[UnprotectedDesignFlaw]

Wow, thanks for your information, I was really considering this because my i7 920 is slow, hot and a total bottle neck to my recent 1070.
I loved the explanation, justification and the clear conclusion.

Guess I'll save some more to get a proper i7 or i5 and such (with DDR3 support :v )

PS: Subscribed.
PS2: Keep up the good work.

[ashishparmar]

watched the original video but ill watch this one for the heck of it

[giglioflex]

Thanks for the info Steve. This processor needs to be about half its current price to be good value.

[aldasmite]

props for honest conclusions... if more reviewers would call intel out for its 7-generation "progress" then maybe we would have something more than 4 core chips in mainstream (just like 8 years ago)

[SharapovaFan]

I have a feeling that AMD's Ryzen equivalent at this price will be an overclocker as well, so Intel decided to beat them to the punch and release this i3-7350K. A company as big as Intel has many eyes and ears. If anyone knows what's actually going on, it's Intel.
