The 6700k is faster. Not much faster, but clock-for-clock it definitely is faster.

The 6700k is better than the 4790k, it is the largest generational improvement in the past half decade.

I've read that the 4790k is as fast or even faster than the 6700k( wich I have in my personal rig) true or myth?

The i7-4790K is slightly faster in some single-threaded scenarios, but they seem to trade blows until the 6700K pulls ahead in most multi-threaded applications. Knowing this, it shouldn't deter you from buying the newer CPU for the architectural changes that they contain.

You mean 4770k?

That was a "half" gen, imo, just like the 5770C.

Not the real deal :P

No, i mean the 5770C. The 5xxx processors are like a skipped generation, except they exist. But ppl seen to think its like 4790k-6700k, Just how it was with the GPUs 780ti-980ti. But unlike an 880ti, the 5770C does exist

Ultra is stupid. ALWAYS.
