ComputerBase

Der Core i3 ist quasi ein alter Core i5-7600K im neuen Gewand, kostet aber nur 15 Euro weniger als der kleinste Sechs-Kerner. Der bietet rundum das modernere Gesamtpaket.

Gamers Nexus

Even still, some games make it difficult to defend the 8350K over Intel’s own i5-8400 – it just depends on whether those applications like frequency or cores. Either way, like the 7350K’s launch price (which did later come down by $30), the 8350K is too expensive for its own good.

TechPowerUp

This means the choice comes down to whether you prefer higher performance in multi-threaded apps (then you should get the i5-8400); if your workloads don't scale with threads, the i3-8350K is the way to go.

TechSpot

We're aware that we didn't factor in the price of a cooler for the Core i3-8350K in the scatter plots above and that will further reduce its appeal. We don't think we need to get into it too much more, the 8350K is a pretty poor value even if you consider its overclocking capabilities.
