i7 4790k can turbo boost to 4.4GHz

[Bluejay0]

At least provide some information on the subject instead of being lazy and just saying "LOOKIE HERE GUYZ DIS LINK HAZ ALL DA ANSAS!!!"

My thoughts EXACT

[flibberdipper]

My thoughts EXACT

Great minds think alike.

[LukaP]

This.... is not actually impressive.... I might be switching to AMD for sure this time when DDR4 comes out

How was this ever going to be impressive... This is neither a tick, nor a tock. This is a release intel had to do just to drive the motherboards sales of the 9 series up...

[bcredeur97]

I have a feeling these things are going to OC a lot better thanks to the new TIM. maybe we'll see the "everyone runs their chip at 5GHz" days again just like good ol' sandy bridge

[brownninja97]

does it come with the stock cooler, that would surprise me if it did. It cant cool even 4.0ghz

buuuuh dude just google it

I know, it just makes me sad that it works on people

Breaking news!

AMD just announced a twenty-core cpu at 10ghz

[Hawx]

Is this better? http://wccftech.com/intel-devils-canyon-core-i7-4790k-core-i5-4690k-processors-confirmed-core-i74790k-boosts-44-ghz/

Change the OP link to this one, quote some text, and change the title to "new information about Devil's Canyon"

With IPC equivalent to Pentium G3220.

True

[VSG]

The Haswell refresh is Intel's equivalent of the Nvidia 780/780Ti 6gb versions. The next generation is taking too long for yield, so they are pulling rabbits out of their asses to satisfy the shareholders.

It depends, for example I'm going to build a PC this summer, since I don't have a desktop that means it's going to be from scratch. I'm going to buy a i7 4790k because of that... not to upgrade from an i7 4770k, there's always a market for new builds like mine. 

 

Not saying you're wrong, I'm just pointing out that there are variables.

[Faa]

If the i7 base clock is really at 4.0GHz on all cores IMO that is a significant improvement over the 4770K

 

fingers crossed for solder ( doubtful)

 

complete speculation until official info is released, however lots of these little leaks seem to be true

See post #15 I've updated it with the new z97. I tried to tell you that last time. If it's going to be the same for the new 4790k it would be nice to have 4.4GHz right out of the box and hit 5GHz with no troubles.

I have heard things like Intel worked on their wafers to achieve better quality chips, their quality control since ivy bridge got out of hand

I did

 

I do recall, you attempted to educate  me on how the stock turbo frequency worked on the chip in my computer. A chip you have no personal experience with, the same chip I have owned and learned about over the last year with multiple boards.

 

Here was your input word for word

 

 

 

 

4770k:

base/idle: 3.5GHz

1core: 3.9GHz

2core: 3.8GHz

3core: 3.7GHz

4core: 3.6GHz

Whenever you enable xmp and if the motherboard supports the agressive turbo you get for 4 cores load 3.9GHz. Can show you a screenshot with the default settings prime95 cpu just boosting to 3.3GHz (from 3.2GHz) with all cores loaded and at 1333MHz and when I change the memory speed to 1600 or enable xmp I get 3.8GHz in prime95, just save me this effort cba doing this

 

I agree. mainboard vendors have different have different turbo settings.

 

you need to understand intel has a turbo spec for each sku and that has nothing to do with how mainboard vendors wish to apply their turbo values.

 

setting xmp does nothing for turbo boost  on the two Z87 boards i personally own.

 

 

 

once again a 4770K turbos like this not what you posted above in your comment, this is intel spec, mainboard vendors have nothing to do with this specification, they apply their own turbo rules.

 

 

(intel spec not open for debate)

base/idle: 3.5GHz

1core: 3.9GHz

2core: 3.9GHz

3core: 3.8GHz

4core: 3.7GHz

 

So its interesting to speculate how some users are suggesting perhaps only one core is hitting 4.4GHz...could very well be true.

 

feel free to reply when you have a comprehensive understanding of

 

intel specification

 

mainboard vendors auto rules

[Faa]

I agree. mainboard vendors have different have different turbo settings.

Which is wrong, you either have the default which is 3.7GHz or you have the agressive turbo that will run at 3.9GHz (see my source below pointing this out). If mainboard vendors go out with each their own rules, the cinebench scores would have been all over the place.

 

 

you need to understand intel has a turbo spec for each sku and that has nothing to do with how mainboard vendors wish to apply their turbo values.

Why are you still talking about the default turbo? The agressive turbo you get from enabling xmp will override the default turbo and you'd get the max turbo clock backuped by this source: http://be.hardware.info/reviews/5380/50/19-intel-z97-chipset-moederborden-review-de-nieuwe-generatie-getest-benchmarks-cinebench-115

I admit i was wrong about how it boosts, but how the default turbo works wasnt even my point at all.

[AxelRantila]

4.0GHZ base clock speed! Nice! Will probably buy one for my new computer

[euniqe]

Meh. I get 4429mhz on my turbo with 3770.

[iBored]

I think this should be a decent upgrade from my 2500k.

Silicon lottery goddess wasn't kind to me then.

[Tredien]

Wonder if this will finally make it worth an upgrade form my 2600k for pcie3... or maybe I'll wait for DDR4.

[LimpCurve]

This thing will destroy anything AMD has at the moment

No duh.

[Darkstar101]

I'll buy it and try to overclock to 5.0GHz.

[Opcode]

I'll buy it and try to overclock to 5.0GHz.

I guess speculation is it will do 5.0 GHz on air.

[jezza39]

I guess speculation is it will do 5.0 GHz on air.

 

I'm not so sure, the results should be similar to those who de-lidded haswell chips, the on-board power phases will still be super toasty.

[VSG]

lol Splave (a big LN2 overclocker) got a sample of the 4690k that couldn't boot into the OS at 4.5 GHz on 1.35V. Hopefully the new series performs way better than this on average.
