Intel Corporation is the world's largest maker of semiconductor circuits. Its success and innovation produce sweet fruit in the form of a new generation processor architecture Intel Haswell Refresh. It is the fourth-generation Core processors and an evolutionary step called Tock. Unlike Tick (Ivy Bridge) is not just about fine-tuning the production process and minor modifications, but a very significant innovation in the design of the entire core. The processor receives a portion of the new instruction set called Haswell New Instruction and within the GPU comes a new era in the form of a chip Iris.
The Intel Core i7-4790Kis clocked at 4.0 GHz and mustbe placed in an 1150 socket.With an increased frequency of 1250 MHz, the Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics card perfectly complements the CPU performance. It works great as an office or a casual home PC capable of Full HD video playback. For a full-fledged gaming experience, however, you should pick a graphics cardfrom our wide selection.
The second generation of theTurbo Boost technology boosts the clock frequency up to 4.4 GHz and enables the cores to exceed their stock frequency. The maximum frequency depends on the number of active cores, while the length of the overclocking period depends on the workload and operating environment. The upper frequency limit is determined by reaching threshold values of the four indicators (number of active cores, electric current drawn, power consumption, CPU temperature).
