Overview
SummaryThe Intel Core i3-9350KF is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Coffee Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Jan 2019. Clocks run from 4.0 GHz base to 4.6 GHz boost. A 8-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1151 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 91 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Core i3-9350KF scores 2,680 in single-core performance and 7,476 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 4,476 for overall performance, 8,611 for productivity performance, 8,936 for creator performance, 7,196 for engineering performance and 9,909 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,869 per core, 1,869 per thread and 82 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 469. Its performance index is 55, so its overall performance is 45% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Workload Benchmarks
8 workloadsScores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.
