Although it's essentially a 7700K with two additional cores and some extra L3 cache, Intel's Coffee Lake-based Core i7-8700K proved to be enough of an advancement over its Kaby Lake predecessor for us to crown it the new gaming king a few days...

The Core i3-8350K offers leading performance in games and competitive performance in a wide range of applications.

The R3 2200G offers highly competitive performance at its price and, ultimately, really has no immediate competition. At $100, the CPU offers 78-85% of the performance of the R5 2400G at 58% of the price. Not bad at all. We can strongly recommend the R3...
