So, what to make of the Core i7-4790K? Our sample doesn't overclock as well as we'd hoped - 5GHz on air is possibly a myth, certainly compared to Sandy Bridge standards, but then again, it's early days and we've only had hands on with a single press sampl...
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...
Abstract: here's a cogent argument to be made for Intel having the enthusiast end of the desktop PC CPU market sewn up to such an extent that it has little reason to innovate until AMD catches up in the distant future. The lack of competitive pressure has caused technological stagnation at the £150-plus price point, as the Core i7-4770K - primarily a CPU with a basic GPU baked in - isn't going to face renewed competition from AMD's FX processors anytime soon...
Abstract: The month of November sees AMD introduce an A10-6790K APU and Intel debut the Core i5-3340S and Core i5-4440S processors. We also learn a lot about AMD's future roadmap from the APU Developer Summit '13, and share some tidbits about upcoming products. I...

4 GHz clock speed for all four cores, Fits in earlier socket 1150 boards, Improved thermal dissipation, Unlocked multiplier for easy overclocking
Higher base clock reduces margin for overclocking
The Devil's Canyon is Intel's first consumer chip with an out of the box base clock of 4 GHz sweetened by the overclocking potential an unlocked multiplier offers. However it is not going to show huge overclocking gains without support from a good cooling...
IntroductionIt's probably the K version everyone has been waiting for. The chip offers very high stock clock speeds. Due to the improvement in TIM, Intel was able to provide the user with higher clocks without generating much more heat. Even without overc...

Compared to last year's Haswell which is meant to replace the Ivy Bridge with slightly improved performance and lower power consumption, this year Intel decided to replace the Haswell with Devil's Canyon by giving it a higher factory clock speed and some ...
The Intel Core i7-4790K is expected to retail at the last price of the i7-4770K which is around RM 1,100 while the i7-4770K's price would be lowered.Enthusiasts or casual users, upgrading from the i7-4770K to i7-4790K doesn't seem like a bad idea at all a...
Extrem flertrådad prestanda, Upplåst överklockning, Modern plattform, Goda anslutningsmöjligheter
Tappar prestanda vid dåligt trådade scenarion, Något sämre energieffektivitet än storebror, Dyr plattform, Kräver sannolikt ny processorkylare
Det har varit ett ytterst intressant år för AMD på processormarknaden. Företaget har i en strid ström sjösatt Ryzen-familjen för merparten av prestandasegmenten och därmed på allvar tagit upp kampen med Intel om entusiasternas gunst. Att de under denna pe...
