Devils Canyon chip, i7-4790K will be working at 4 GHz stock/4.4 GHz turboboost! Its not bad. TDP is still about 90 W, only few wats over 4770K. If multicore edhanced turbo will be working with this chips, means the CPU will working at 4.4 GHz in all situation!

People don't buy -K chips to run them at stock, though...

I couldn't agree more. I'm very happy with my recent purchase of an i5-4670k for $189 @ Microcenter. While I'll admit, i wasn't expecting to have to de-lid the thing and shave down the underside so the CPU core came in contact with the heat spreader, all because the damn thing was running 90'c loaded. Now it never breaks 63'c @ 4.4ghz with a thermalright venomous X.

I will say, I enjoy the hell out of my 4930k rig and ill never not have intel halo platform, but for daily use and gaming my maximus vi impact and 4770k feels snappier and speedier. Kinda like a huge torquey v8 that is overall faster vs a quick revving high rpm inline 6

[LagunaX]

Build it, and they will come...

Because it is snappier. The 4770k is faster clock for clock than the 4930k, it's a newer/better CPU arch. Furthermore the quad channel memory of the socket 2011 system isn't going to add any tangible benefits to gaming, but the extra latency will still be there.

The only advantage to the halo system for gaming is the gobs of PCI-E lanes. If you're not making use of that all you have is more slightly slower CPU cores that aren't all used in game, and extra memory channels your game isn't using with a bit more latency.

Ahhh yes thanks for sharing

There may be some measurable latency differences in how many cycles things take between uarches and memory, but theres NO way they are going to noticeably affect user feel, as those "differences" end up being ridiculously tiny fractions of a second. The OS optimizations and storage type/quality are where you get different response feel.

Or a monitor with less input lag!

^ this

Input lag bothers me a lot, even while in the desktop and not gaming

[bearcatrp]

Screw this, where the hell is the 8 core extreme that is supposed to come out.

This seems like Intel's attempt to rebadge the 4770k or 4790k ALA, AMD's FX 9590.

Basically kill the k series at 300 and sell it for 400 to 500 dollars. I had a feeling Intel would do this.

Huh ? Its gonna eat up 2x the power at 2x the price ? Where you got that info ?
Not that intels tactics on mainstream/ethusiast market arent bad.Theyre bad,and getting worse rather than better.

4690k at 1.35v not stable in OS 4500mhz XD

[Dumo]

1 in 25 chips ratio again?

4690k at 1.35v not stable in OS 4500mhz XD

Seriously? That's just embarrassing for a supposedly "(re)designed for overclockers" part.

Thanks Splave

Mon, it sucks

not some bad joke?, what cooling?
