The Intel Core i3-7350K is Intel’s first unlocked i3 processor. The base clock of 4.2 GHz on the 7350K is matched only by the flagship i7-7700K. Consequently for desktop applications and the vast majority of tasks that rely primarily on single core performance the 7350K excels. The i3-7350K’s key feature is an unlocked multiplier which should allow a comfortable overclock (on air) to 4.8 GHz. This makes the 7350K far better suited to desktop workloads than any other non-K CPU. The Achilles heel of only having two physical cores means that for tasks that can use more than two cores such as video encoding or software development, the 7350K lags behind its quad core counterparts. For typical desktop computing such as email, browsing with multiple tabs, office documents and playing the majority of games the i3-7350K is a viable option, but at current prices it’s bested by both the i5-7600K and i7-7700K which offer far better value for money.

The AMD A10-6800K is a Black Edition quad-core Richland APU based on second generation Bulldozer micro-architecture (codenamed Piledriver) launched in Q2 2013. It features Cayman-derived Integrated HD 8670 Graphics which are a marginal improvement on the Radeon HD 7660D graphics featured in the A10-6800K’s predecessor: the A10-5800K and which outperform the integrated graphics on comparable Intel Core i3 and i5 chips. The A10-6800K has a clock speed of 4.0 GHz, which automatically turbo boosts to 4.4 GHz when needed and can further be overclocked to 5.0 GHz on air cooling. The A10-6800K scores an effective speed of 73 which is okay, but compared to the similarly aged and priced i3-4130, it lacks in single-threaded performance. The A10-6800K is a good choice for those wanting reasonable CPU performance and integrated graphics on a budget. [Dec '14CPUPro]
