Intel Core i3-8350K vs Intel Core i7-3820

Core i3-8350K vs Core i7-3820 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8350K is faster than the Core i7-3820. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3820 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3820 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8350K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3820. A Core i3-8350K CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3820 CPU because of its much lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i3-8350K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
