Socket 1150, decent upgrade from i5 4690?

[peige]

I've got an Asus Z97-k 1150 socket mother board. Brought with at the time a "Devils Canyon Core i5 4690K"

Of the newer available 1150 cpu's is there anything worth replacing the chip with. Primary use atm is video editing, some games but not really much.

Excellent. Thanks for the pointers

Erm, which 4790?

At stock speeds a 4790K is up to 40% faster in video encoding.

Also make sure your I/O is fast enough. Keep your files on SSDs (at least) whatever the CPU.

(My hunch is the gap between i5 and i7 narrows with very fast I/O but never been able to test.)

I *think* I/O is coping at the moment and the CPU is the bottle neck right now, its certainly running at 100% for the duration of the creation of the final video, I have it running from an SSD, 32gb of ram and a RX460 4gb on graphics so bar the motherboard its probably the weakest link.
