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

Maybe the Devil's Canyon chips due to their re-design just aren't compatible with the older chipsets?

For most enthusiasts who would likely pay out for a 4790K also think Z97 is a nice refresh, newer features. Nice looking boards. Not even that expensive.

At least Intel are putting some newer stuff out. For people building this year it's a good result. Rather this than they just did nothing until Broadwell..

In the CPU space what have AMD done lately?

Yeah those who already have decent setups needn't apply, but that's been the case for years now anyway with people on Sandybridge saying they are happy and no need to upgrade. This is no different.

If you look at it this way,

Z87 > Z97 (Newer features, nice boards) Same price point.

4770K > 4790K (Newer design, cooler running, highest Intel stock clocks to date, better overclocking) Same price point 'According to Gibbo's earlier post.

Nice refresh stuff at same price point. No reason to be hatin on Intel atm.

still on i920 here, not sure if to go for DC or haswell-E for a bigger jump. any timeframes on haswell E ?

Rumor is September for X99. That would be a worthy upgrade from i920. 6-8 cores, DDR4, support for future 14nm chips...

I'm throwing my router away in September, must not read reviews.. Must stop buying PC stuff... :p

My GF might actually kill me... :eek:

This is the reason why there is no point buying a z97 now thinking about broadwell upgrade later because Intel will release gimped versions of broadwell on z97 platform and the mainstream CPU's on z whatever platform will be new.

Intel have done it before and they will do it again.....actually they still are doing it now!

Yeah I mean the 4770K was only the fastest CPU for gaming and beat the 3960X (£800) in a lot of tasks. While consuming much much less power.. How dare they ! So 'Gimped'..

The audacity of Intel to release such products and price them for the mainstream.. Especially when rival AMD are putting out top quality products like the FX 9590..

Also curse those Intel motherboards that are great and affordable as well..

AMD are still rocking that awesome AM3+ chipset I mean still AM3+ after all these years..

Stupid Intel have to go and update their stuff with newer features and future CPU support. How very dare thee... Same price points as well.. What muppets..

Truly evil to go and update their CPU and mobo line which is already miles ahead of the competition and bring the new stuff in at the same price points.. What an evil bunch of crap..


:p

Seriously some of you just have to be hatin on someone.. No reason to be hatin on Intel atm. They did good by bringing a refresh, especially at the same price points..


Haters gotta hate though..

If a 4790k can hit 4,5-4,6ghz on air using something like a Cooler master 212 evo without going into the 85+ degrees on average samples i might actually buy one as my current 4770k is not even stress test stable at 4,5 yet still hits the 90+ degrees celcius. Im sure there are worse samples out there (sadly) but i miss the days of 40-50% OCs on air.

Thinking the same, the 4770K gets so hot (Temp spikes) that even a mild overclock becomes unstable when fully stressed in something like Prime or Intel burn test.

4790K @ 4.5Ghz temp stable would be awesome. Still not convinced the 4790K can achieve this. Seems pretty hot @ stock. Need some proper reviews with overclocking etc.
 
If the 4790K doesn't have the crazy temp spikes and can reach 4.5Ghz. Will get one at launch.

Giving my 4770K to my boys at some point anyway so don't lose anything.

Hopefully 4790K is decent, why no official reviews yet?
 
So it runs cooler even with the Stock OC. For people building now the 4790K is a better option than 4770K. Not sure about people already on 4770K, me included. I might just hold out for Broadwell before getting a new chip.

Good to see lower temps though.

It's a pretty substantial upgrade for 99% of computer buyers who get their computers pre-built from PC World, the 4790K at stock will be faster than a lot of previous generation processors when overclocked.

Anyway, you should be buying into a Socket 2011 system if you want a massive improvement.

Agreed, and for those looking at building new systems now. The 4790K and Z97 is a nice refresh option at the same price points. I see no reason for people to be hatin on Intel. They could have just brought nothing out until Broadwell.
