Launched 7 February 2020, this multithreaded gargantuan comes with whopping 64 core and 128 thread and costs $3990 to be exact. This CPU has core clock of 2.9GHz and has max boost clock of 4.3GHz which is high for CPU with huge amount of cores and has 280W TDP which would shows how efficient this CPU is. The single core performance is not too mind boggling but the multi core performance blows all other single socket CPU in existence. Safe to say, this CPU poses incredible value for content creator, data center and regular server users alike for amount of multithreaded performance you get at that price point. [Feb '20ColdSpy]
The Intel Core i7-4790K, codenamed Devil's Canyon, is an upgraded 4770K, Intel's current flagship i7. The 4790K features an improved thermal interface which enables it to dissipate heat more efficiently than the 4770K. Comparing the 4770K and 4790K shows that stock performance has improved by 13% which is consistent with the base clock jump from 3.5 GHz to 4.0 GHz. OC performance remains unchanged. Comparing the 4790K and 4790 shows that at stock clocks the 4790K is around 16% faster which considering the small price difference makes the 4790K a far better choice. Previously Intel targeted the unlocked K versions at overclockers but with Devil's Canyon they have included VT-d on the K chip and this time it's squarely aimed at both power users and overclockers alike. Until the release of Broadwell in six months, the 4790K is the high end CPU of choice. [Jul '14CPUPro]
