- No price premium over Core i54670(K)
- A minor improvement over a class-leading chip
Reviewers Didn't Like
- Our sample is a poor overclocker
- Doesn't respond to higher voltages
Although I didn't spend much time playing Batman: Arkham Origins, I remember the game rather well after testing it on no less than 30 graphics cards and 20 CPUs. Arkham Origins appeared to take full advantage of Unreal Engine 3, it ran smoothly on...
By TechSpot onThe Core i5-4690K is the CPU you should be buying if you're an Intel Z87/Z97 system owner with a budget of between £150 and £190 and are up for a bit of overclocking. Given the cooler temperatures and faster speeds compared to its Haswell-based predecessors, there's little point opting for an older CPU although owners of Ivy Bridge CPUs may want to wait for Broadwell to see more significant performance gains.
By Bit-tech.net onBeing the middle of the market this CPU offers great value for money and the new features packaged with the Intel Core i5 4690K CPU are exceptional. We did some testing on the Turbo Boost technology and monitored how often the CPU peaked over the 3.5GHz...
By homemediaportal.com onThat the fastest processors are currently made by Intel is not really a secret, but what is the best choice when you want to spend up to £ 50, £100 or £150? To answer that question we conducted a megatest of 57 current AMD and Intel CPUs. From two...
By uk.hardware.info onWith the clock speed change, the package is also adjusted in two distinct ways. The first is to add extra decoupling capacitors on the PCB, allowing the voltage regulator on the die to deliver cleaner power to where it needs to go. The second addresses...
By AnandTech onSo until Haswell-E is released, along with DDR4 and the X99 chipset, Devil’s Canyon might sit in the ‘should I wait’ category. But if we were looking at upgrading that main system today, based on CPU limited workloads, the i7-4790K is a well recommended choice.
By AnandTech onThanks to it's higher clock-frequency the Core i7 4790K is clearly faster than the 4770K. A good example is the Cinebench benchmark, where the 4770K managed 8,08 points compared the 9,05 points of the 4790K, in other words a 12% increase. This is great...
By uk.hardware.info onShrinking transistors isn't as easy as it used to be - not even for the mighty Intel - so to fill the void left by Broadwell's no-show, we have the imaginatively titled Haswell Refresh. These CPUs are available right now and while remaining as powerful...
By eurogamer.net onSurrounded by much fanfare and announced earlier this month, two Haswell-based Devil's Canyon processors were meant to whet the appetites of enthusiasts who build their own systems. But after looking at the Core i7-4790K version and now at the cheaper...
By HEXUS.net onThe month of November sees AMD introduce an A10-6790K APU and Intel debut the Core i5-3340S and Core i5-4440S processors. We also learn a lot about AMD's future roadmap from the APU Developer Summit '13, and share some tidbits about upcoming products....
By Tom's Hardware UK onQue dire en finalité de ce i5-4690K ? A moins de 230€, ce processeur Intel à 4 cœurs n'est pas une véritable révolution. Très souvent devant, la concurrence de chez AMD est rude, pour le même tarif (FX-9590 BE par exemple). Les performances sont...

Though there are still some hotly anticipated titles due in 2016, we might already have the game of the year on our hands. Overwatch has been on our radar for a while now but it recently blew up in a big way with an open beta that attracted over 9...
