Is the 4790K still good 2020?
Oussebon said: Then your 4790k is fine. Newer CPUs will give some improvement to performance, even at 1440p. However, if you’re playing the games at high+ settings, that’s going to be a pretty small difference for the most part.
What generation is i7-4790K?
4th generation
4th generation Intel® Core™ processor compared to prior generation.
What socket is the 4790K?
Socket H3 LGA-1150
Intel Core i7 i7-4790K Quad-core (4 Core) 4 GHz Processor – Socket H3 LGA-1150 Pack CM8064601710501.
Is the i7-4790K fast?
Faster clock speed: The Core i7-4790K runs at a 4GHz base clock, with a 4.4GHz Turbo Mode.
Does the i7-4790K have hyper threading?
Like the Core i7-4770K, the Core i7-4790K benefits from Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology, which means that processor’s four physical cores are split into eight logical cores, theoretically improving multitasking performance and performance in multi-threaded applications.

What chipset is 4790K?
Intel Z97 chipset
As with other Haswell processors, the Core i7-4790K is compatible with Socket LGA1150 motherboards. It’s designed for motherboards that use the Intel Z97 chipset, and will also work happily in older Z87-based motherboards, although you may need to update the board’s firmware to enable it.
Which is better the 4770k or the 4790k?
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.
What’s the difference between Ivy Bridge 4790k and 6700K?
Comparing performance and specs between the 4790K and 6700K shows that the configuration is largely unchanged (same base clocks, cores, threads) but the improved manufacturing process (14nm) brings a small reduction in TDP and a performance improvement of 8%; almost exactly the same jump as between the Ivy Bridge 3770K and Haswell 4770K.
Which is better the i7-6700k or the 7700K?
The i7-7700K is priced similarly to the i7-6700K so for top end gaming and workstation builds, the 7700K is the clear choice for 2017. AMD’s Ryzen will release later this year so things could change at that time. The Intel Core i7-4790K, codenamed Devil’s Canyon, is an upgraded 4770K, Intel’s current flagship i7.
