Spotted: i3 dual-core for X299

Spotted: i3 dual-core for X299

Wowzers, just when you think things could not be any different, they do. Over at Chinese Baidu  forum a prototype of a dual-core Intel i3-7360X appeared. So here you have the X299 motherboard at what 350 USD with socket LGA2066. And then you put a dual-core proc on there worth a few tenners?

It however seems to be a prototype processor, likely it never made or will be released. The i3-7350K has a 4.3GHz clock with a 4MB L3 cache. Apparently when you dig a little deeper, the price for the proc would be above the 200 USD range.

Here's the Shinglish translation by Google:

i3-7360X specifications are dual-core four threads, clocked at 4.3GHz, higher than the i3-7350K 0.1GHz frequency, L3 cache 4MB, TDP112W, LGA2066 interface. 
In addition, i3-7360X also cut off the core graphics card, memory only supports dual-channel, PCI-E channel only 16. Its official price is $ 220 (about 1699 yuan), the price is not cheap.  On the positioning, i3-7360X in the X299 platform is the lowest positioning of the CPU, lower than the i5-7640X a grade. 

I could not find the precise originating source, but the post was referring to a Swedish website.

But why?, Who thought that was a good idea (even if it is only an internal pitch).

imagine a celeron with full PCIe lane it would be a top pick for minner :) lol

more seriously, it's like the I7 4820k, not a big success for mainstream but top sale for small workstation that doesn't need Xeon but high end chipset (when we were needing at work to change our 4 system we had compared i5 in 1150, i7 4820k in 2011 and Xeon on both socket... the "small d**k" 's i7 won and with time it was a really good choise

Then maybe intel try to do the same... (but i doubd that they get the same success the platform is not what we can expect in 2017/2018)

See this makes more sense than the quad cores to me... it's the idea of a starting chip till you can get yourself a better one... the other quad cores cost way too much to be just throw away chips. so something like this makes a little bit more sense... it's still crazy and stupid with that in mind lol... but least makes more sense than the i5/i7 quad cores

Maybe if Ryzen hadn't happened, we would have had this, and still been stuck with 4c/8t max on the consumer mobos.

Maybe their mantra is "What is the least amount of perfomance we can get away with?"
