The Intel Haswell Refresh - i7-4790K PROCESSOR

Haswell Architecture

The processor's Turbo Mode is based on revision 2.0, which makes the Turbo mode much more dynamic. Depending on CPU load, one or more CPU cores will run above its advertised specification. It has changed as there are several steps in which the Turbo mode will be utilized. Dynamic Turbo (Turbo 2.0) will allow the CPU power to exceed the TDP value when the rest of the platform is relatively cool. The frequency gain is expected to be up to 37% for a short time and say 20% in other scenarios. For overclockers it will be interesting to know that each CPU core can be overclocked independently. 

• 4-Way Multi-Task Processing: Runs 4 independent processing threads in one physical package.
• Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0: Dynamically increases the processor frequency up to 3.90 GHz when applications demand more performance. Speed when you need it, energy efficiency when you don'’t.
• Intel Hyper-Threading Technology: Allows each core of the processor to work on two tasks at the same time providing unprecedented processing capability for better multi-tasking, and for threaded applications.
• Intel Smart Cache: 6MB of shared cached allows faster access to your data by enabling dynamic and efficient allocation of the cache to match the needs of each core significantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.
• CPU Overclocking Enabled (with Intel Z87 Express Chipset), fully unlocked core multiplier, power, and DDR3 memory ratios enable ultimate flexibility for overclocking.
• Graphics Overclocking Enabled (with Intel H87 Express Chipset), unlocked graphics multiplier allows for overclocking to boost the graphics clock speed.
• Integrated Memory Controller: Supports 2 channels of DDR3-1600 memory with 2 DIMMs per channel. Support for memory based on the Intel Extreme Memory Profile (Intel XMP 1.3) specification2 up-to 2400 and some even 2800 MHz.
• Chipset/Motherboard Compatibility: Compatible with supported Intel 6 Series Chipsets and Series 7 chipsets.
• AES-NI: Provides 6 processor instructions that help to improve performance for AES encryption and decryption algorithms.
• Built-in Visuals: New enhanced built-in visual features deliver a seamless visual PC experience for doing everything from simple e-mail to enjoying the latest 3D and HD entertainment.
• The built-in visuals suite includes:
• Intel Quick Sync Video Technology: Media processing for incredibly fast conversion of video files for portable media players or online sharing.
• Intel InTru3D: Stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray playback experience in full HD 1080p resolution over HDMI 1.4 with 3D.
• Intel Clear Video HD Technology: Visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for spectacular HD playback and immersive web browsing.
• Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX2): Increased performance for demanding visual applications like professional video & image editing.
• Intel HD Graphics: Significant 3D performance for immersive mainstream gaming on a broad range of titles.
