Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz (4.4GHz Turbo Boost) LGA1150 8MB Cache 88W 22nm Haswell Refresh Quad-Core Desktop Processor with Intel HD Graphics 4600. The 4th generation Intel Core i7-4790K is a quad-core, eight-thread processor with Turbo Boost technology delivering jaw-dropping performance you can see and feel in 3D, HD, multitasking and multimedia. Based on the highly acclaimed 22nm 3D transistor, the 4th Gen Intel Core processor (codename Haswell Refresh) not only continues its leading position in performance and power efficiency, but also brings computing to a new level. The integrated graphics and DirectX 11.1 support the rising number of media-rich applications: your Internet surfing, 3D gaming and Windows 8 operations are faster and smoother.
Highlights:
HASWELL (REFRESH) MICROARCHITECTURE ON 22NM PROCESS
The new Microarchitecture (codename Haswell Refresh) has a fully integrated voltage regulator (FIVR) for simplified motherboard design. It delivers improved CPU performance and enhanced overclocking over its previous generation Microarchitecture.
NEW 4TH GENERATION INTEL CORE PROCESSOR FAMILY INSTRUCTIONS
Haswell Refresh core-based processors come with Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel AVX2). Intel AVX2 expands integer data to 256-bit SIMD to increase the performance of integer operations. It also offers new capabilities such as Gather and FMA (Fused Multiply-Add). Additional new instructions accelerate key algorithms, including parallel extract/deposit, bit manipulation operations and new rotates/multiplies/shift. The AES-NI performance is also improved.
INTEL PROCESSOR GRAPHICS WITH DX11.1 AND OPENCL 1.2
Haswell Refresh core-based processors offer improved integrated graphics. The integrated graphics supports DirectX 11.1 for optimized graphics performance, and OpenGL 3.2 and OpenCL 1.2 for enhanced general-purpose computing in GPGPU-supported applications. It also features digital display repartition, where digital display ports are wired directly to the CPU, and analog displays are handled by a Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter (RAMDAC) located in the Platform Controller Hub (PCH). It supports up to three independent displays: HDMI, DVI, Display Port, VGA (via Lynx Point).
HASWELL REFRESH POWER-MANAGEMENT INNOVATION
Haswell Refresh core-based processors offer advanced power management. It has 20x + improvement from prior generations and is automatic, continuous, fine-grained, and transparent to well-written SW.
INTEL TURBO BOOST TECHNOLOGY 2.0
More intelligent, energy-efficient, and dynamic than previous generations, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 gives you accelerating performance when you need it. It delivers an even greater automatic speed increase by allowing processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency for demanding applications, if the processor is operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.
