Which is better? I can OC the 4690K but the 4790 has more threads and is faster out of the box.

I am buying a LAPTOP and these are my two options in my budget. Desktop CPU in a laptop... cant wait xD:P

Laptop: Thinkpad W520 i7 2720QM 24GB RAM 1920x1080 2x SSDs Main Rig: 4790k 12GB Hyperx Beast Zotac 980ti AMP! Fractal Define S (window) RM850 Noctua NH-D15 EVGA Z97 FTW with 3 1080P 144hz monitors from Asus Secondary: i5 6600K, R9 390 STRIX, 16GB DDR4, Acer Predator 144Hz 1440P

4790. Don't overclock on your laptop.

People have got 4.4Ghz on the 4790k on this laptop, cooling isnt a problem, just which will offer the best performance.

I remember that. I remember seeing how much the most expensive laptop I could configure on there would cost!

 

I'd say 4690k if you can overclock.

Sig under construction.

Depends on the laptop, as i said this laptop can handle the cooling of the 4790k @ 4.4ghz or more so im simply interested in performance.
