Review on Intel Core i7-4790K CPU (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz) - BX80646I74790K by Micha ochowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

For those who still doubt the performance, take it, you won't regret it! I am seriously engaged in 3D (3dsmax + vray), I took it for rendering and modeling, absolute perfection. Compared to 3770k, rendering is 20-25% faster, full multitasking, no need to remove cores to open a folder. The processor is very cold (ZALMAN PERFOMA 10x cools with 1 fan very well), more than 54 degrees at maximum load (1 hour of rendering, who understands), does not rise, at idle 17-23 degrees. For comparison, 3770k, with a ZALMAN 9500 cooler, heats up to 67 degrees in the load. I looked closely at 6 cores for a long time, but did not dare, because it turns out to be quite expensive, this processor is a real alternative. I advise everyone who wants to professionally engage in 3D, you will not regret it. The most pleasant thing is that its performance is 3-5 years ahead! I hope my review will be useful to those who are faced with a choice.

Pros
  • Productive, cold, promising and very successful processor
Cons
  • Price
