The Core i7-4790K will effectively replace the Core i7-4770K and will retail for $339. The Core i7-4790K’s features are listed below.īoth Devil’s Canyon processors will be launching this month. Intel has also added additional capacitors to the back of the processor for smoother power delivery to the die. Intel hopes to remedy this with their Next-Generation Polymer Thermal Interface Material (NGPTIM). This in turn made these chips and the chips that followed run hotter under load. When Intel introduced their Ivy Bridge processors they started using thermal interface material that did not perform as well as the material that was used in Sandy Bridge processors. Special thanks to Intel for providing us with the Core i7-4790K processor to review. This is Intel’s first consumer processor to be clocked at 4.0 GHz and it actually boosts all the way up to 4.4 GHz! Let’s take a look… Today we will be taking a look at the flagship Core i7-4790K quad-core processor. Intel has addressed many issues that we saw on Ivy Bridge and Haswell processors in the past. These “Devil’s Canyon” processors would make up the K-Series of the Haswell refresh, but also have features that the other processors do not. We soon found out that Intel was working on two special processors made for enthusiasts codenamed “Devil’s Canyon”. Meanwhile, here's some useful coverage of the latest overclock-friendly Z97 motherboards, just in case you're looking to accessorize.When Intel announced their Haswell refresh some of us questioned where the “K-Series” unlocked processors were. There's also a Core i5-4690K to look out for, priced at $242, which notches base and turbo speeds up by 100MHz compared to the current product - not a huge gain, but enough to send a message that Intel isn't entirely preoccupied with Broadwell and ultra-portables. The $339 price tag is identical to what you'd pay for the existing Core i7-4770K on Newegg (base clock: 3.5GHz), so it's definitely worth holding onto your cash until the end of the month. Such a part is just weeks away, however, in the form of the refreshed Haswell Core i7-4790K, codenamed "Devil's Canyon." The new chip shifts from 4GHz up to 4.4GHz in turbo mode, with the only downside being a slight increase in wattage from 84W to 88W - a change that might be partly mitigated by Intel's use of a better thermal interface material underneath the lid of the CPU. Sure, we've seen 4GHz base clock speeds before, but never in an Intel chip.
