I said earlier that I don't know who exactly is Devil's Canyon's target market. Now that you've seen the overclocking results, perhaps you can understand my dilemma. Our review sample doesn't appear to have any more headroom than our year-plus-old Core i...
Obviously the entire purpose of the Core i7-4790K is to be an overclocking beast, the new big thing for enthusiasts. For months now Intel has been hyping the overclocking potential of Devil's Canyon with comments such as these...It can be overclocked to 5...
500 MHz boost over the Core i7-4770K, Improved TIM and added capacitors, Priced the same as the Core i7-4770K, The fastest Intel quad-core processor to date
Overclocking could be better
Most processors that are part of the Haswell refresh received a 100 MHz boost in terms of core frequency and turbo frequency. With Devil's Canyon Intel did something different, they gave the Core i7-4790K a 500 MHz boost for both its core and turbo frequ...

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...
