Higher factory speeds
Same price tag like 4770K
Marginally better temps
Compatibility with older Z87 boards
Added speed
Better thermal interface material
Performance slightly better than the Intel Core i74770K when overclocked
500 MHz boost over the Core i7-4770K
Improved TIM and added capacitors
Priced the same as the Core i7-4770K
The fastest Intel quad-core processor to date
Decent performance
Low power consumption
Multi-display-capable iGPU
Clock boost for the same price

Not A New Architecture
Not Quite The Overclocking Beast It Was Made Out To Be
None
Will likely require a new motherboard
Despite using the same LGA 1150 socket
Only moderate overclocking potential with our review chip
Despite Intel's promises
Overclocking headroom is very limited
Retail CPU doesn't come with much needed higher performance heatsink
Limited overclocking due to heat
Same overclocking potential
Compared to the price gap
The speed difference to the Intel Core i74770K is not very noticeable
Overclocking seems to be more sensitive to BCLK adjustments
Overclocking could be better
No overclocking
Nothing really "new"
Integrated GPU limited in 3D gaming performance
The chip's overclocking performance isn't as strong as Intel led us to believe
SUPER PI圆周率1mb用时稍差，4790K可以跑进8S,I7 6700K主频低了治愈8.7S。FRITZ国际象棋的性能上，i7-6700K对比i7-4790K差距也不小，只能呵呵了。下面是AIDA64 内存带宽，读取，写入，COPY和延迟的测试，对比差距不大，写入DDR4优势还是有的，没办法早起的DDR4同频下，实际和DDR3都在双通道下，性能差距不大。...
