Reasons to consider the
Intel Core i7 4790K

Report a correction
Much higher turbo clock speed 4.4 GHz vs 0 GHz Compared to all cpus, 4.4 GHz turbo clock speed is just OK
Is unlocked Yes vs No Somewhat common; An unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
Much higher clock speed 4 GHz vs 2.2 GHz More than 80% higher clock speed
Much newer manufacturing process 22 nm vs 45 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Has a built-in GPU Yes vs No Somewhat common; A separate graphics adapter is not required
Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) 4.63 GHz vs 2.21 GHz More than 2x better overclocked clock speed (Air)
Significantly higher Maximum operating temperature 74.04 °C vs 55 °C Around 35% higher Maximum operating temperature
More l3 cache per core 2 MB/core vs 1.5 MB/core Around 35% more l3 cache per core
Newer Apr, 2014 vs Feb, 2011 Release date over 3 years later
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 4.8 GHz vs 2.2 GHz Around 2.2x better overclocked clock speed (Water)

Much more l2 cache 4 MB vs 1 MB 4x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later
Supports more CPUs in SMP configuration 4 vs 1 3 supports more CPUs in SMP configuration
More l3 cache 12 MB vs 8 MB 50% more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
More cores 8 vs 4 Twice as many cores; run more applications at once
More l2 cache per core 0.5 MB/core vs 0.25 MB/core 2x more l2 cache per core
