Lately the prototype of an Intel Core i3-7360X processor has been got sight of in China. Judging by the name, one may assume it’s a newer version of the 2-core/4-thread Intel Core i3-7350K (2/4 х 4.2 GHz) model with the unlocked multiplier for the Socket LGA1151 platform. But after comparing photos of these CPUs we can see, that Intel Core i3-7360X is more massive and aimed at Socket LGA2066 HEDT platforms.



Key specifications report, that Intel Core i3-7360X is almost identical to Core i3-7350K of the LGA1151 structural design. The latest silicon offers four MB of the tertiary cache and the rated 112 W TDP. It is also equipped with a 2-channel DDR4 RAM controller and the PCI Express 3.0 controller (16 lanes).


The recommended price of this specialty is expected to be around 220 USD, which is approximately 1,699 CNY. So it can be placed on a par with Intel Core i5-7600 (4/4 x 3.5 – 4.1 GHz; $213 – 224) and AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (6/12 x 3.2 – 3.6 GHz; $219).
