This cpu is going to be the most recommended cpu in coming months over 4c ryzen no matter how good ryzen will be( iF). amd will fail to make money and lag behind again when 8xxx series core cpus launches. and people will sing same old song of " if amd had better bla bla bla .... "

pretty nice move by Intel.

I would not recomend it over A12, cause AMD has better integrated graphics ( by much ) it's also unlocked, and AM4 can handle 8 core CPUs.
It would be interesting to compare both AMD and Intel's unlocked chips.

For gaming ? Not enough cores. Would struggle on games like Deus Ex , BF1 etc

Only CPU worth buying at the moment for gaming is i7

I don't know how you came to that conclusion, it is pretty much on par with FX 8**** in the above mentioned benches, so it's multi-threaded performance is good. I wonder how SR3 will compare against this.

Why would anyone replace 2500k with this?
Those blinded by Intel advertisement will replace it and claim their down/side grade is actually an upgrade.

As a note, the 7350K is unlocked. It has a lot of the overclocking crowd fairly excited because there was a ton of activity around the g3258, and arguably just as much if not more with the Skylake dual cores (even if they were locked multiplier).

We are gonna here "dual core is good enough, you dont need 8 threads" lol

This chip is a little champion!

Might pick this up and turn it into a monster firewall(for just myself of course);
Blow away my J1900 firewall, squid and snort would be a running like sonic on cocaine.

EDIT: holy hell it beats my 4770k at 4.4/4.5 in cinebench. What a monster.

Not really... that was a single thread test. I'd hope a 5.1ghz Kabylake processor had a faster single core score over a 4.4ghz Haswell based cpu.

Impressive for a dual core, but a poor choice for a modern gaming system. Unfortunately people are still going to recommend it

Replace a true quad core with plenty of performance at 4ghz+ for a higher IPC dual core with hyper threading? Sidegrade at best.

Intel Z97 Platform:

The Intel Z97 platform that we used to test the Intel 1150 processors was running the ASUS Z97-A motherboard with BIOS 2801 that came out on 11/15/2015. The Corsair Vengeance 16GB 4000MHz DDR4 dual channel memory kit was manually set to 3000MHz with 15-15-15-36 1T memory timings.
"

ASUS Z97-A supports DDR3 and not DDR4, but it goes to 3200+

"
My CPU, L639F Batch, vid 1.168v (On Asus), not delidded, try to find max clock that i can validate to CPU-Z. Vcore 1.475v (LLC Lv6, stable at 1.475v). Cooler Custom Water 3x120 Ambient about 26-28 Celcius.

If you extrapolate from this
http://www.techspot.com/article/1171-ddr4-4000-mhz-performance/page2.html
The 7700K at 5.1 with 4266 19-19-19-39 might even match a 6900K at 4.4/3000 in x264

I actually don't doubt this $138 chip would be great on a budget build, I'd love to see some benches with it and let's say a 1080 and rx480 to see if it throttles.

That's why I mentioned Firewall, but still for a 2core to dominate my 4c haswell is hilarious for it's price.

Only 138 bucks? spend 80 on a decent micro ATX and 2 16gb sticks for about 200 and BAM, a firewall crunching 1-2MPPS with IDS/IPS and Caching/proxying for 1000s of users(or just myself) for only 500 bucks..

I'd have to disagree, this is great for the budget gaming market and for applications or enterprise boxes.
No more cheap and terrible core 2s.

Also for us that homelab or are power users, these things are cheap and relatively low power consumption for perfect application boxes.

Agreed. This would have been amazing in the sandy bridge era. It's still cool now though. For people who dont play 64 player battlefield, or GTA V online, the i3 will be enough for pretty much everything thrown at them.

Plus, it's cheap enough that delidding it isnt as risky. Id love to see how far this thing could OC with a water cooler and a de lid.

5 years ago I would have NEVER thought I'd see an unlocked and delided I3 in my lifetime.

Can you imagine this little monster hitting 5.5ghz at like 1.38vs on water?

I would like to see it in BF1 too, and at a couple other resolutions and graphics presets. And the graph seems to be messed up? Why would a fps graph be listed as "seconds (lower = better)"? That should be a straight fps graph

Going from a 4.5ghz Haswell G3258 to a stock clocked non turbo i5 4570 at 3,2ghz was the difference between literally unplayable (drops into single digits fps wise) and 60fps 99% of the time. Kaby lakes higher IPC and the hyper threading here will help it no doubt, but I can't imagine this touching a recent i5 at all in 64 player maps.
