Abstract: Earlier this week I posted some interesting Linux graphics benchmarks comparing the open-source Mesa/Gallium3D drivers for the Iris Pro 6200 Graphics on the Intel Core i7-5775C "Broadwell" CPU compared to several discrete graphics cards. Those results wer...
A regular 4790K will cost you roughly 320 EUR, say 339 USD. A binned 4.8 MHz model is in the 375 USD range and the 5 GHz models will pass 400 USD. As such a binned processor is more expensive, but does come with that very nice guaranteed clock frequency....
Desktop users who run computations-heavy applications are always glad to see faster processors but Intel's latest CPUs have only provided a performance gain of 5 to 10% with each new generation which was ensured by minor microarchitecture optimizations. T...

Incredibly fast, New TIM (Thermal Interface Material), Cool temps, More headroom for overclocking
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...
