Intel will soon reveal its seventh generation 'Kaby Lake' range of chips very soon, and among them is an overclocked i3-7350K.
Here are the specifications for the new chip:
Intel will throw in this new i3 K-series variant to allow overclocking to a larger mass market than normal; thus making it more affordable to everyone.
The chip technology is based on the new 14nm FinNET process technology that uses a fin-like design to dissipate heat from the ever shrinking die sizes.
This i3-processor will be the first time in a while that Intel has offered the general population and overclockable Core i3 to play with, so it'll be interesting to see how it performs with both air and liquid cooling.
All 20 of the new 7th generation processors are expected to be released early in the new year in January 2017.
As well as this K-chip, there will be 3 other K overclockable chips supporting a variety of overclocked speeds too.
Here are the specifications for two other K-chips in the line up; the Core i7-7700K and the Core i5-7600K
All 3 of these chips will help make up the backbone of the Core i3/i5/i7 family.
It looks like Intel will have 2 locked chips in the i7 family, 6 models in the i5 family and 4 models in the i3 family.
The seventh generation chips have not neglected the Pentium family either (my own personal favourite chips for overclocking!) with 5 new models with 2 cores and a maximum base clock speed of 3.7Ghz.
Happy overclocking!!

Intel still wants to sell 4-core Celerons with 16 PCIe lanes as $350 i7s eh? I'm rooting for AMD to light a fire under their ass again.
AMD will begin to roll out its Zen processors aimed at high end desktops on 17th January 2017 - I can't wait to see how they benchmark against Kaby Lake??
P.S. My favourite i3 processor? The i3-6100 Processor / (3M Cache, 3.70 GHz).

I think it's scary what these new AMD Zen chips could do at that price point!
