What do all these changes cost you? Not as much as you think… This means that you can expect about 14% higher performance just from that alone, so it looks like Intel is really trying to get the most out of Haswell with the final revision of it here with improved thermal performance, improved power delivery and higher clock speeds. The Core i7-4770K has a 3.5GHz base clock with a 3.9GHz Turbo Boost clock, so the 4790K has a 500MHz base and turbo clock advantage over the 4770K.
The new Intel Core i7-4790K processor is a Quad-Core, 4.0GHz processor with 8MB of cache and Hyper-Threading, that ramps up to 4.4GHz with Intel Turbo Boost technology. They also added additional capacitors to smooth out power delivery to the die and that should allow for higher clock speeds and potentially better overclocking. Intel hasn’t said exactly what was done, but they did say that they are now using a Next generation Polymer Thermal Interface Material (NGPTIM) that will bring cooling improvements. They heard the feedback about the thermal interface material being used on the ‘lid’ of the processor, so they changed the thermal interface material (TIM) that lies in between the die and the integrated heat spreader to improve it. The Intel engineers wanted to bring the best Haswell processor possible to market, but they wanted to do something special for desktop enthusiasts. Basically these are your typical K-Series unlocked 22nm Haswell parts, but they have been refined for enthusiasts that want the best processor possible for their Intel Z87 or Z97 plaform. Intel announced that they were going to be doing a Haswell Refresh in March and mentioned that they would be coming out with Devil’s Canyon. The Intel Core i7-4790K and Core i5-4690K are without a doubt the most anticipated processors to come to market for the LGA1150 platform since the first Haswell processors were released back in June 2013.
