Heat issues and the steep costs of the kit may make some people think twice but the i7 is the best for gaming and media you can get for the money. Paired with a high-end graphics card the i7-4790k will hum along nicely for years to come...
Abstract: All I can say is wow! A true multicore CPU if ever I've seen one. I've just upgraded to this chip from an amd phenom ii x6 1055t, which was overclocked to 3.95ghz 24hour prime 95 stable, from its base clock of 2.8ghz. I also upgraded to an Asus tuf Sabret...

Stock speeds from 4 GHz base and 4.4 GHz boost, over 500 MHz higher than the CPU it replaces, Measurably better thermal performance at the same voltage and frequencies, Higher overclocking results with our sample (4.8GHz compared with 4.6GHz), Overclockin
Update isn't quite significant enough to upgrade from the initial Haswell CPUs, IGP performance in nonsynthetic benchmarks continues to be a concern
At one stage we had expected the Haswell refresh to be a by-the-numbers update of the original Haswell CPU – a small multiplier bump and perhaps slightly better overclocking capability for the same cost. Whilst it isn't part of today's review, the Core i5...
Abstract: Today Intel launched their new X99 chipset and Haswell-E CPUs. We took a look at those over here and to accompany that article we now look in a little more detail at the memory they support in our DDR4 Review. Our DDR4 samples for this round-up come from ...
Abstract: Gamers are continuously asking which is the best CPU for their system, from a performance as well as a price perspective. In this series of articles, we're comparing the gaming performance of two CPU's in recent games and we will be showing you which CPU ...
Thanks to it's higher clock-frequency the Core i7 4790K is clearly faster than the 4770K. A good example is the Cinebench benchmark, where the 4770K managed 8,08 points compared the 9,05 points of the 4790K, in other words a 12% increase. This is great ...

Great out-of-the-box performance, No price rise over the Core i7 4770K, Unmatched performance, class-leading, Backwards compatible with 8 series motherboards (Z87 etc, providing motherboard vendors issue BIOS updates)
Temperatures are still mediocre – bring back fluxless solder, Overclocking headroom is very limited, Integrated graphics have not improved,
PricingIntel's Core i7 4790K has an MSRP of $339 and can currently be found at Newegg for $339.99 and Amazon for $339.99. In the UK Scan Computers are selling the Core i7 4790K for £260 and Overclockers UK for £270. At the time of writing Amazon UK are no...
Abstract: Shrinking transistors isn't as easy as it used to be - not even for the mighty Intel - so to fill the void left by Broadwell's no-show, we have the imaginatively titled Haswell Refresh. These CPUs are available right now and while remaining as powerful an...
Let's start the conclusion to this review with the CPU being tested today. Devil's Canyon has had a reasonably interesting development process with Intel noting that when they set out to revise Haswell they brought this model to market in record time. Not...
