Intel Haswell Refresh Processors Codenamed Devil’s Canyon – Launching in Mid 2014 With Unlocked Desi

I don't think the review samples were up to much overclocking wise?

But there was certainly some hype about improved overclocking, that's for sure.

I certainly remember quite a few well respected sources pre-embargo saying they had Haswells that could hit 5 ghz on air with no problems, how they were overclocking beasts, etc.
 
Even if 5ghz is too hopeful a guaranteed 4.4ghz clockspeed with lower temperatures is a massive improvement over previous Haswell's. :p

A 4.6-4.8ghz overclock without temperatures exceeding 90C under stress would be great imo.

Intel "Devil's Canyon" to Usher in 5 GHz-on-air Overclocking Era

Even as Intel launched its first Core "Haswell" Refresh socket LGA1150 chips, it left out two enthusiast-grade parts from the mix, the Core i7-4790K and the Core i5-4690K. Don't be misled into thinking that they're just multiplier-unlocked variants of the i7-4790 and i5-4690 launched today. There's a reason the two have be designated a separate internal codename altogether. Called "Devil's Canyon," the chips are made from high-performing dies binned out from the foundry, and placed on extra-durable packages with contact points that are designed for higher voltages, and a superior thermal interface material between the die and the integrated heatspreader (IHS).

Better packaging (mind the pun) isn't the only thing that sets the i7-4790K and the i5-4690K apart form their non-K counterparts, they're are also clocked higher. The i7-4790K ships with an out of the box clock speed of 4.00 GHz (the first Intel processor to do so), with a Turbo Boost frequency of 4.40 GHz. The Core i5-4670K, on the other hand, ships with a clock speed of 3.50 GHz, with Turbo Boost frequency of 3.90 GHz. The TDP of both chips is rated at 88 Watts, a wee bit higher than the 84 Watts the non-K chips are rated at. Expreview believes that the two could usher in a new era in CPU overclocking without breaking the bank over HEDT chips, and could be capable of running at clock speeds of 5.00 GHz, on air-cooling. Intel is expected to launch the two chips to crowds at Computex 2014, followed by a market release in mid-June.

Wait a minute :S

When did a new flagship CPU with decent TIM and a clock speed slightly higher than the flagships of the last two generations become seen as something special instead of just, normal?

CURSE YOU INTEL!!!

I dunno mate the 4770K was already a beast, beating the old 3960X (£700+) in a lot of tasks and faster in gaming all while using less power.

For a refresh, the 4790K re-designed for cooler running, higher overclocks and 4.0Ghz - 4.4Ghz turbo seems like a sweet deal to me. Anyone buying this year will be very happy at this over a normal 4770K.

Broadwell is coming relatively soon as well Q4 2014/Q1 2015. Tbh Intel needn't have done anything in the interim, it's not as if AMD are competing with them... I say fair play to Intel, this looks like a nice chip..

Intel Devil's Canyon CPUs Confirmed, Reach 4.4 GHz

With the Haswell refresh line of central processing units from Intel mostly out, only the unlocked chips are left, the ones that are supposed to debut in the summer. The two main stars of that line are called Intel Core i7-4790K and Intel Core i5-4690K.

Lots of things are being set up for this summer, and this processor series will make a fine pair, so to speak, with the next high-end video card from Advanced Micro Devices.

Having owned a 3770k at 4.5ghz prior to the 4770k in sig. In benchmarks with the 4770k at 4.2ghz, i found it to be generally on a par with the 3770k at 4.5ghz. The hw is a much much hotter chip though despite using less vcore for the clock im running, 1.275 on it vs 1.34 on the ib chip. In games the 4770k will easily hit the high 70's compared to mid 60's on the ib. Same cooler used on both chips.
 
Interesting claim... Would love to see it turn out to be true! A 5GHz Haswell might finally be reason enough to shift off my 4.5 Sandy :)

Fingers X'd!
