Intel Core i3-7350K

2C/4T · 60 W

The Core i3-7350K was the first unlocked Core i3 Intel sold at retail, introduced with the Kaby Lake desktop line in January 2017. It has only two cores with Hyper-Threading, but the combination of a 4.2 GHz base clock, no turbo at all and a free multiplier made it a curiosity for enthusiasts chasing high single-thread speed cheaply. Its price sat close to the quad-core Core i5-7400, which limited how often it made practical sense.

Notes: Windows 11 requires 8th Gen Intel Core or newer, so this processor is absent from Microsoft's supported CPU lists for 24H2 and 25H2; no separate list has been published for 26H2, so the same status is carried over. Windows 10 is supported. Mainstream Linux distributions run on it, and ChromeOS Flex accepts any 64-bit x86 processor.
