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...

You might call the Core i7-4790K Haswell's Super Saiyan form. Intel didn't rework its thermal interface material or power delivery because the Core i7-4770K was facing pressure from AMD. No. Devil's Canyon appears as the company's response to guys like me...
The way it currently sits, Intel's claims of 5GHz on air is little more than hot air. It seems that Intel got the marketing cart before the silicon horse. Intel's Devil's Canyon processor is marginally better than its predecessor when looked at throug...

Based on the preorder options at Amazon.com, the new Core i7-4790K will be shipping as soon as June 20th. Amazon's price of $379 $339 is $40 over the MSRP but Newegg and MicroCenter have it at MSRP or less! I am honestly confused by Intel's decision to pr...
In case you have got inferior performance with your 4790 processor versus the previous flagship SKU CPU, the Turbo Multi-Core enhancement for the SKU CPU is probably too blame. Either manually OC each Turbo ratio and see if performance goes up. Or just aw...
Abstract: Intel's brisk production schedule should see the new 14nm Broadwell architecture arrive by Christmas, but that doesn't mean Haswell is out of tricks. To tide us over until the next generation arrives, Intel has released a new spin on the Haswell design, c...
The new Intel i7 4790K isn't anything amazing when compared to the i7 4770K that it's replacing. That's not a bad thing, though. For starters the i7 4770K is and was a fantastic processor. It offered great out of the box performance and overclocking is e...

Intel announced Devil's Canyon in a flourish that showed Intel was once again looking after the enthusiasts among us. Intel boasted about 5GHz clock speeds on air with a cooler running core thanks to the use of a new thermal interface material and rework ...
Intel’s Devil’s Canyon may be an interim revision to the Haswell architecture but it has been designed specifically for enthusiasts. When the original Haswell processors made their way into the sales channels, there were plenty of complaints of high tempe...
