Faster than the Core i7-4770K. Significantly lower operating temperature. Adds features that its predecessor lacked.
Despite Intel's promises, overclocking headroom is very limited
Intel's Core i7-4790K is the high-end Haswell-based processor for enthusiasts who liked last year's 4770K CPU, but weren't satisfied with its modest performance improvements....

With the clock speed change, the package is also adjusted in two distinct ways. The first is to add extra decoupling capacitors on the PCB, allowing the voltage regulator on the die to deliver cleaner power to where it needs to go. The second addresses th...

higher factory speeds, same price tag like 4770K, marginally better temps, compatibility with older Z87 boards
same overclocking potential
To sum up, there is nothing spectacular about the brand new 4790K. I am quite surprized that during a year Intel did absolutely nothing regarding performance or overclocking potential. In fact the overclocking is worser compared to our 4770...
The Devils Canyon CPU is a very capable and super high speed processor that will make for one very amazing gaming platform, This kind of result makes me excited to see what comes next. 9...

Stock 4GHz with Turbo up to 4.4 GHz, Idle temps are very low
Retail CPU doesn't come with much needed higher performance heatsink, Limited overclocking due to heat
So how do we score Devil's Canyon? It's a very fast Haswell refresh that has no architectural equal. Stock clock users will love it thanks to a stock 4 GHz core which turbos to 4.4 GHz quickly, so you can get more done in less time. Although it seems that...
Abstract: The Intel Core i7 4790K raises the processor's clock speed to 4 Gigahertz (500 more than the previous 4770K). The new chip keeps the same architecture, so it keeps the same LGA 1150 socket, but don't expect dramatic increases.Being that this new CPU is br...

I said earlier that I don't know who exactly is Devil's Canyon's target market. Now that you've seen the overclocking results, perhaps you can understand my dilemma. Our review sample doesn't appear to have any more headroom than our year-plus-old Core i...
Obviously the entire purpose of the Core i7-4790K is to be an overclocking beast, the new big thing for enthusiasts. For months now Intel has been hyping the overclocking potential of Devil's Canyon with comments such as these...It can be overclocked to 5...
500 MHz boost over the Core i7-4770K, Improved TIM and added capacitors, Priced the same as the Core i7-4770K, The fastest Intel quad-core processor to date
Overclocking could be better
Most processors that are part of the Haswell refresh received a 100 MHz boost in terms of core frequency and turbo frequency. With Devil's Canyon Intel did something different, they gave the Core i7-4790K a 500 MHz boost for both its core and turbo frequ...
