Added speed, Better thermal interface material, Performance slightly better than the Intel Core i74770K when overclocked
Compared to the price gap, the speed difference to the Intel Core i74770K is not very noticeable, Overclocking seems to be more sensitive to BCLK adjustments
So what's the verdict? Well, one thing is clear: the i7-4790K outperforms the i7-4770K at nearly everything from operation speed, to thermal conductivity and overclocking. Does it realistically make it a better CPU for most owners of the 4770K? Not a chan...

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...
