A processor with two cores and four processing threads is filtered in China, in this case it is an Intel Kaby Lake-X, specifically we are talking about the unknown Core i3 7360X so far.

Possibly this is the year that the most number of desktop processors, whether gaming or professional, have reached the market and there are still some more to come. We thought that the Intel Basins Falls processors, based on Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X, had been presented in their entirety and the minimum of these processors was four cores and four processing threads, which are what the Intel Core i5 7640X carries. , but, in China another processor has jumped, which will be the smallest of these professional processors, the Core i3 7360X. No, it doesn't seem like a joke.

If the two Kaby Lake-X processors already made little sense, due to the limitation of cores and threads, it makes even less sense, today and as the market is, to launch a processor with two cores and four processing threads. This absurd processor is an alternative for the professional segment of the i3 7350K, although it is difficult for us to imagine professional tasks that with a couple of cores, is more than enough, in addition, before we would opt for other solutions on the market with more cores, which will be that there is not this year.

This processor, which contributes absolutely nothing to the market, has specifications, quite sad, since it is only 100MHz faster than the i3 7350K and in Boost mode it reaches 4.3GHz. The big difference is that the TDP rises to 112W and that it does not have an iGPU. According to the leak, in addition, this processor is 1.25% more powerful than its predecessor, so the question is obvious, is this processor really necessary? Well for 1699 Yuan, which is about $ 220, the answer is clear, it is a processor stupidity without the slightest sense.

Note: it is not ruled out that it is some kind of scam or deception.
