Summarising the i7-4790K is actually pretty easy.Because it's very much a minor refinement of the i7-4770K, rather than a massive change of technology or architecture, then it has very similar overclocking performance. We know that our i7-4770K is an abso...
Significantly faster than 2013's top Haswell chip, the Core i7-4770K, at the same price
Will likely require a new motherboard, despite using the same LGA 1150 socket, Only moderate overclocking potential with our review chip
The 4790K boosts the base clock speed a healthy 500MHz over last year's Core i7-4770K, while improving OC potential and keeping pricing constant. For content creators and the benchmark-minded, this chip is one of Intel's best balancers of speed and price...

Fastest Intel QuadCore Ever, New Packaging Materials and TIM, Same Price as 4770K, Good Overclocker
Not A New Architecture, Not Quite The Overclocking Beast It Was Made Out To Be
The Core i7-4790K's overclockability is also very good, though it's wasn't quite the monster initial rumors had suggested. Don't get us wrong—our sample clocked 10% higher than the Core i7-4770K we tested last year and was stable at 4.8GHz with air-coolin...
Decent performance, Low power consumption, Multi-display-capable iGPU, Clock boost for the same price, Intel XMP supported, Compatible with both Z87 and Z97 motherboards, though it might require a BIOS update
No overclocking, Nothing really "new", Integrated GPU limited in 3D gaming performance
The Intel 4th Generation Core i7-4790 LGA 1150 CPU is available for about US$300-US$320 at various retailers. Decent performance Low power consumption Multi-display-capable iGPU Clock boost for the same price Intel XMP supported Compatible with both Z87 a...
The Intel i7 4790K has probably taken this generation of CPUs about as far as they can go. The out-of-box 500 MHz speed increase is quite impressive in its own right. Being able to run faster at cooler temperatures alone makes this Devil's Canyon CPU we...
Though we expected a little more from the overclock results we have to say that the 4790K is worthy of being called the new flagship quad core processor. We feel that the 4 GHz base and 4.4 GHz Turbo clocks alone justify this release. So if you are in fo...
Abstract: Last week at Computex Intel formally announced the Core i7 4790K "Devil's Canyon" processor as a new, high-end, refreshed Haswell part. The Intel Core i7 4790K tops out at 4.4GHz and is quite interesting for PC enthusiasts and performance junkies. Today w...
Hardware wise the i7-4790k really isn't a big step forward over the 4770k Haswell. Intel took an already good processor and improved its thermals and gave it a substantial base clock speed improvement. The base clock on the 4790k is actually higher than...
The Intel Core i7-4790K Devil's Canyon processor was impressive when it came to performance it shows off the true power of the Haswell architecture. The 500MHz clock speed increase at both the base and Turbo clock speeds is much more than your traditional...
