So it will cost roughly 5-10$ less than the i5-7500, if they put that precise model again with skylake pricing (which I see no reason why they shouldn't). Then it would be a rather pointless product if it's in the price range of the i5, even though it will have an unlocked multiplier and 4 threads. The additional price you will have to pay for a Z motherboard and an aftermarket cooler will make it an even worse buy, going for a H motherboard with a locked i5 with stock cooling will be cheaper and perform probably as well if not better.

i would love to play with it 🙂

Can't say I understand its position in the market with a price like that.

$180 seems to be a little high in my opinion.130-140.

I know Intel is dumb with pricing, but I honestly don't think they're dumb enough to have something so much worse for such a minor price decrease.
This, to my knowledge, is the first overclockable Intel dual core since Core2. To my recollection, many world record overclocks involved dual cores, even when 4+ core options were available. It's possible to get an i7 to reach 5GHz without liquid cooling. Imagine how much higher an i3 could possibly get.

Can't see a point in it at all...

This seems like an awesome product, but at a price like that...Don't think so.
BLEH!
Zen 8 core will apparently be £300 or so, let's see how that changes things...

it better reach 6ghz+ on air for that price
heh maybe they think its 2008, I remember my E8400 costing around 180$ too

Intels pricing has already killed this product the pentium k was only around 80$ usd end now its only 96$ cad + tax.

Hilbert...there is a few spelling mistakes in your thread
1--For a few days now there is "world"-- must be word
2--The specific overclockable Core i3 model will be the Core i3-7350K (2C/2T). The Intel Core i3-7350K would run with a maximum boost frequency of 4.2GHz out of the box. This unlocked multiplier 'K' chip will be a dual-core part with four threads (2C/4T). --so now there is 2 K models according to what you wrote?
3--It has a L3 cache of 4MBand 91W TDP..no idea what this is
4--which builds upon 14nm FinFET process technology that shrinks processor components down to "an" small size --must be a
5-- which "kcoked" ass--kicked

Please don't correct Hilbert's spelling - it's part of the character of his site! We all know what he means 99% of the time!
No one reviews products (especially gfx cards) with as much passion as this guy, and his English-as-a-second-language adds to the charm man.

I gave up on ever expecting Intel to release an unlocked i3 and bought a 6320 for my HTPC.
I hope Intel does release it unlocked, then maybe I can pick one up cheap in a couple of years to play around with.

Getting a dual core these days seems a bit weird.

IF this CPU can OC to 6+ GHZ, it could be an incredible game machine for the masses. Seriously many game engines are more IPC and GHZ inhibited / bound than thread or core count supported.
