Intel Core i7-4790 3.6 GHz Quad-Core
The Intel Core i7-4790 is a desktop processor built on 22 nm lithography with four cores and eight threads. It operates at a base clock of 3.6 GHz and reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 4 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology. The CPU includes 8 MB of Intel Smart Cache and fits the LGA 1150 socket with a thermal design power of 84 W.
Suits LGA 1150 Upgrades Not New Builds
This processor suits owners of LGA 1150 motherboards who need higher multi-threaded performance than a Core i5 or i3 can provide. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 handles display output without a discrete card. Builders starting a fresh system should look at current platforms because this socket and its chipsets are no longer in production.
84 W TDP Dictates Cooler Choice
The maximum thermal design power of 84 W is the specification that decides cooler compatibility and case airflow requirements. A cooler rated for at least this TDP is necessary to sustain 4 GHz turbo speeds under load. Lower-rated coolers will throttle the processor before it reaches its peak frequency.

Questions sur cet article
Will this processor fit my existing LGA 1150 motherboard?
Yes, the CPU uses the LGA 1150 socket, so it is physically compatible with any motherboard that has that socket.
What is the maximum turbo frequency and how much cache does it have?
The processor can reach a maximum turbo frequency of 4 GHz and includes 8 MB of Intel Smart Cache.
Does this OEM processor come with a cooler in the box?
No, OEM processors are supplied without a stock cooler; a separate CPU cooler rated for at least 84 W TDP must be purchased.
