Intel Core i3-8350K vs Intel Core i7-7700

Core i3-8350K vs Core i7-7700 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7700 beats the Core i3-8350K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8350K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-7700 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-8350K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7700. The Core i7-7700 outputs less heat than Core i3-8350K thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

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.
